Well, it's been two weeks and a day since I had to say good-bye to Zach. I still remember our last text conversation. It was Tuesday, May 7th. I'd just finished my art history class. I was texting him, determined not to say good-bye until it was absolutely possible. At some point, he asked me to listen to the song "With you in your dreams" by Hanson. As I started listening to it, I just started to bawl. I told him so. He texted me, saying it would all be okay, but that he had to go now. He told me to remember how much he loves me. :) I cried for a while..sang all the verses of God Be With You Til We Meet Again (very badly though, as I couldn't stop crying). Then dinner, talked with my gma, and talked with Alex, then work.
The past couple of weeks have been pretty good other than that. Of course I spend nearly every waking moment thinking about and missing Zach, sometimes more than others, but overall it's been good. I've had some fun times with old friends, have tried making some friends in my new ward, and spent a lot of time in work and school and homework.
Umm...ya. I got my first e-mail from Zach last Tuesday. I nearly cried I was so happy. Unfortunately I saw it right before I was about to take a test, so I wasn't able to reply til afterwards. I got another one yesterday...it's soooo good to hear from him!
The past few weeks have also been great spiritually. I've been trying to overcome a problem. I told Zach about it a couple of days before he left. He gave me some encouragement and advice. Unfortunately, I messed up a couple of times the first week he was gone. It was hard having to tell him that in an e-mail...he asked about it, and i didn't feel like telling anything but the truth. The next day, we had a wonderful lesson in New Testament. We were talking about the beatitudes, and how they should be looked at as a whole, not individual things. Looked at that way, it basically becomes the repentance process. So, after that, I realized that I couldn't overcome this problem by myself. I needed Christ's help. As soon as I realized that, resisting temptation has become a whole lot easier. Ya...i feel like a whole new person. I really understand the meaning of the phrase "alive in Christ." Ya.
So...I've been very pleased to see that my average weekly readership has gone up. Now, those who do read this blog, would you leave a few comments? What sort of stuff do you want me to write about? I don't only have to write about my life. I'm sure it's boring to a lot of people. So what do you want? Advice? Stories? Songs (if you want those, check out my blog Songwriting Bliss, or Song of the Moment). That's My Crazy Life!
