Wow do I know how you feel with the need for strength, peace, and patience to wait. Trust me, it may feel like forever and the end of everything, BUT it's not. A short story of my past 2 years. My now bf pretty much didn't want a relationship but he liked me and we hung out as friends and got serious but still we were never exclusive. Then he had a bad accident drinking and driving. I thought I'd never see him again; he wanted nothing to do with me after his wreck BUT I prayed and prayed for him and us and for others. This site is actually how I made all this happen. I believed and kept the faith. It was so hard for me to let him go and to not want to be there through his recovery. I did it though; I stayed praying and it took him about 6 months to allow me to help him. We went from a text of him saying what is going on between us has to stop to 8 months later together, happy and even talking about marriage soon. We live together now and it has been extremely hard because he didn't have a car so we got jobs at Walmart and work the same schedule. So pretty much we are together 24-7 but it's getting a lot better. I just keep praying and praying and the Lord is working it all out. Of course, we still have our little spats and disagreements, but we are knowing each other very well now and things are a lot better between us. So remember even though it may seem like eternity, The Lord will fix it if you believe and stay in prayer and follow his guidance. I hope this helps you feel better and that you are able to stay strong. In Jesus Name I Pray Amen.
