Day 3

okay... so writing every day obviously didn't work out too tell. life called. things happen. but, thankfully, it's only been a few days, so i thought i'd give a quick update.

today was pretty hard... i don't know that this was really defined earlier, but when i said we were fasting from each other (the girlfriend and i), i meant that in every sense. we have had no contact with each other since last thursday (oct. 30th), and it will continue until the end of the month (you wouldn't eat crackers or "just a little bit" of food if you were fasting that, right?).

anyway, i saw her at church today (which was inevitable...), and that was pretty rough. it's hard to see someone you love so much and have absolutely no contact with her. i just wanted to run up to her, give her a huge hug and let her know that everything is going to be okay... but i couldn't. i literally had to look and walk the other way. and that's a really crappy feeling.

on the upside, i had a great time at my men's Bible study tonight, and i have a couple of friends praying for the both of us, so i know everything is going to be okay.

heard a great message this morning, too. who knew david vs. goliath had so many more personal applications?

and i also have something else to add to the prayer list... writing. not so much randomly, but going to school for it. i actually enjoy writing (i write for a sports website during baseball season) and i think it's something i could get in to. for now, i'll add that to the list and continue to seek God's will for my life (since that's the point of this whole month).

later.
