Smiling at the unknown

[dig out your soul]

Well, today marks one year to the day I had a crushing end to a long-term relationship (8 years). The aftermath of this is what ultimately made me seek out CF and rely on my faith for the first time in my life.

It didn't feel like I was gonna get through all the emotional stuff that I felt during the that first month-two months. It was a very dark time for me, probably the darkest in my life.

I really let my faith, family and friends carry me through the worst of all it and slowly, but surely, time has healed. I'm so thankful that I was blessed with such a great support net. I really don't think I could've made it through all the emotions I was feeling alone.

Fast forward one year and I'm feeling whole again and the swagger is definitely back in my step. I have had doors open during last year that never would've done so if I was still in the above-mentioned relationship.

I'm starting to see that like so many people advised me (including many of you) everything happens for a reason, and God is ALWAYS in control. I've never been so optimistic about my future and the unknown. Thanks to all who offered me support and prayer during the last year...I truely appreciate it.

Cheers

Glad to hear man! God is always good, even if we can't see it at first.

I know what you mean man. I had to let go of a girl that i loved in order to grow. She went ahead and has started a life of her own while i'm still trying to figure out what i'm doing here. Definitely not easy, but its slowly getting to where i see how not pursuing after her was the best thing for both of us.

Keep hanging in there

My girlfriend of four years dumped me a little over a year ago. I totally know what you're talking about, dude. It was devastating. I don't know if I can say I'm completely over her. I can say that it took me almost the whole year to even be attracted to another girl. I can also say that I grew tremendously as a Christian and as a person through all that I've gone through.

All that to say "Way to go, bro!" When life sucks is when you learn how awesome God is.
