God has been so good to me. I mean, He is so good. That’s kind of His thing that He does.
I’ve only been away from Jonathan for over a week now, but I’m already experiencing a little phantom limb syndrome. Something’s missing. My best friend is physically missing.
But last night Bethany and JoAnna poured into me their love and sweet laughter, and I forgot to be secretly sad. Partially because I was able to be openly sad – they let me rant about how I miss Jonathan; they even let me talk about our courtship, stories that I know JoAnna has heard over and over. Throw in some Thai food, a freak chocolate craving run, and watching JoAnna learn to use chopsticks, and it was one capitol evenin’. Good gals.
And tonight Mandy came over. It was her birfday – hooooorays! We got sparkly temporary tattoos and made quesadillas. It was nice to have company and to just be. She is a gem of a person.
Basically, I’m blessed beyond all reason to have these people, these friends around me while I’m pathetically wallowing in “I-miss-my-fiance” land. But God knows that this need is real; and He is faithful for even seemingly small things. It makes it easier to trust Him with big ole gigantic things.
