Party Time!

Heading off to an "All May Birthday Party Party", which should be fun because Amber will be there- her birthday is Monday. I am so thankful to God for blessing me with new friends and honestly something as simple as a place to be on Saturday night. I barely know anyone, but everyone has recieved me with open arms. Especially during this time when I am without David, God is providing community and connectedness. He is so good to me.

I miss David greatly and find my heart aching throughout the day in longing for him. Simple things, really, like missing his shoes, his voice, his smell, his smart-ass comments flood my mind with memories like a river overtaking a bridge. Companionship is a powerful force, it both brings me to my knees and propels me to the highest mountain.

I have no fears or worries that this time apart is not the good and right thing for us. Rather, I am waiting in expectation for what God is doing, for the fruit to be harvested. And I am learning, that with God there is always a bountiful harvest no matter how bad the season's drought or flooding had been. This is His promise.

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
Hebrews 12:10-12

Peace,
