Speaking from the Heart

I knew that the day would come. Jeff  packed his belongings and moved to St. Louis. We had been dating for a year and a half. It was way too early to even think about marriage. Besides, I had not finished school. We knew this long-distance relationship either would break us or would strengthen us.

We decided that it would be best that I would finish school and work for a year, and then get marry. Whoever liked his/her job the least, would quit and would follow the other person. The night before Jeff left, he surpised me with half of a Mizpah coin .  He kept the other half.

It was hard to leave our future in God's hands. When I tried to control the situation, I told myself that this long-distance relationship was not going to work. However, My half of the coin was a constant reminder that being apart was temporary and God was in control.

If I had to do it all over again, would I? absolutely, without a doubt, yes. It strengthened our love and our trust for one another. What would I do different? I would invest in AT&T stocks.
