A month before I left for Maryland, I was introduced to a very special man. The month before I left, we spent quite a bit of time together. The day before the big move, we decided that we wanted to try and make it work.
Immediately people decided to put in their two cents. "Why would you start a relationship when you leave?" "Do you know what you are getting yourself into?" However my favorite was from a close friend. She said, "You realize it isn't going to work out, right?" It's hard to be exited for something when the people around you, including friends, are doubting your relationship. Keep in mind, most of these people do not know him at all which made it even harder.
Day after day, I tried not to question my decisions. Every night I was reassured this was the right thing when my phone rang and on the other end was a man who reminded me that everything is going to be ok, that we are going to get through this together, and that he misses me.
There is clearly a reason God put this man in my life.
My biggest regret would have been not trying. Not a single relationship is perfect and not a lot of them start out 1,800 miles apart but God has us meet for a reason. Whether it is to show me that this man isn't the one for me or that he is the one. All I ask is that instead of putting our relationship down, pray for it.
My questions to you is why do we question each other? We constantly ask why people are doing the things they are doing. "Why are you going back to school after 12 years?" "Why would you move away from all of your family for a job?" "Why are you having another child? You already have 4!" There is a reason God has them doing it.
