There's been ups and downs (and in life what isn't an up or down), but overall, the past six months have been some of the best I've ever experienced. I've grown as an individual and also in relationship building.
I've learned:
It's not always about me, but I really appreciate when it is.
Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.
How to let go and let God, which is often times harder than it seems. We want what we want, but he may have something entirely different planned, that is SO much more amazing than what we wanted.
Also, God sure does know how to surprise us. :D
How to keep my head up even when times get crappy (in the past week I've grown in that skill)
To value the time that you do have with people.
Not to ask for patience. God will give you something to be patient about (and it's not always fun).
To be more patient. Something I've lacked in the past.
How to be a better friend.
This list is only part of what I've learned and experienced lately. I feel so thankful...so blessed to have WONDERFUL people in my life that love me and care about me.
Especially this one special person...
Six months ago, I would have never even guessed that you'd be a part of my life.. other than making you mocha frappes and you telling me a few times that I should wipe the tables before I sweep...but I'm so glad God wanted you in my life. You've shown me a lot about myself and a lot about how to love. I love spending time with you and being your girlfriend. I think you're amazing and I hope that God sees fit to allow you to stay in my life for a good long time.
I love you so much, Timothy! (Even if you don't read this) :D
