Time Apart

**ACHOO!**

It's gettin' a little dusty and cobwebby in here huh? Needless to say I've been a little distracted lately by a certain someone, but now she's gone for nearly two months for work. Even though we'll get to see each other a handful of times during those two months, including a trip this coming weekend to see Dana and Andy, it was pretty hard saying "see you later" on Monday night.

As some of you may have read on Lesley's blog, we faces a major hurdle this past weekend - a large enough hurdle that our future together was in question. Of course it only seemed all the worse because she'd be leaving in a few days. But somehow, God helped us work through it pretty quickly. He seemed to look after all the little details to make sure we'd work through it. The irony of it all was my wanting some kind of test for our love - something that would test our mettle. At that time we were assuming that her leaving for two months would be the test. Little did we know, but God is good and brought us through it and our love for each other is definitely stronger. Please pray for us as we go through this time apart. Especially in regards to communication since at this point in time all she has access to is a pay phone which just happens to be mosquito central at night.

Matthew.
