Today's post shall be short and sweet...mostly because I am spending the whole day with Eric and his family but while we are all resting I figured I would sneak this in very quickly.
Eric leaves tomorrow and I think I have successfully prepared myself for it mentally. I can only contribute this to God because I have never had peace like this before. I can already feel Satan trying to move in on my thoughts and emotions over Eric leaving, but I am confident in my position of feelings and the peace that God has given me.
For this week the fear I have been facing is openly facing the fact that Eric is leaving. Normally anything I don't want to think about for fear of letting it overtake me is openly acknowledging something. I'm scared to. This week I have been openly acknowledging the fact that Eric is leaving every day and telling myself it will be okay and not to be overdramatic. I know I sound hopeless but I really have been doing better. I learned that by openly facing this now I am actually much more prepared for Eric's departure. I know my best friend will be miles away but that we will have connections.
Well thats all for now.
Have a great week!!!
Friend, I know exactly how you feel. I'm not afraid to admit I've fell victim to an ugly cry or two. I know I'm only in Memphis for a couple of more days but if you need someone, my phone's on! :) October will be here before you know it! :)
