June 11th-
Flying out of Milwaukee to a 3 week journey. First stop is LA to congratulate Katie on her Master's of Divinity. Then I'll be scooped up by Breah for a long drive through the bottom half of the country. Our goal- Maryland, the journey- full of friends at every stop.
This entire week has been leading up this trip as I've felt the slow anticipation for my departure. Last week I cried at the realization that I will be gone, away from Connor and our home for 3 weeks.
And then today he dropped me off, and I realized how hard it was to say goodbye to my best friend. I don't want to live without him. My home, my safe person, his warm embrace and soft kisses. Connor has my heart.
I have thoughts I push away and know they are just fear trying to lure to me to be afraid. What if this was the last time I saw him? What if I ever lost him? What.. if...
But no. It'll be okay. I will see him again. There's always a chance, but I trust the Lord with him, and I trust Him with my heart.
And this will be a trip of adventure and I'll get to see my friends! My other bestest friends, the two ladies that have helped me through wild and hard times. I'm so excited to see Breah and Katie and I know that this time will be fruitful and I should cherish it because I may never get a trip quite like this.
Thank you God for the opportunity.
