Ablaze on Breaking Up

When I started to read the Ablaze series it was exactly what I needed. I have been struggling for almost 4 months.

My breakup happened about 4 months ago. To say I hit rock bottom is a understatement. This was my first true breakup. I had never had a boyfriend until MAG.  I also thought this was the guy I was going to marry.  I am about to get real honest here ok. Just to tell people.

MAG was my first relationship, my first kiss, etc. To me he was my whole world instead of God for those almost 6 months we were together. I know what you are thinking 6 months is not that long, but it felt like we had been together for much longer then that. Here are a few things I have finally say I have learned about what I need to change about my next relationship.

1. Have that quiet time. Before my relationship with MAG I had a daily quiet time just with me and God. It was where I put on some worship music danced around my room in awe of the Creator of life. I also did Jesus Calling which spoke to somehow every day without fail. During that time I was still.

As it says
Psalm 46:10
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

2. Have an accountability partner. I can honestly say I have one of the best accountability  partner. in the world. She is one of my best friends at HC. I do not know where I would be without her in my life. It is killing me that she is in a different state right now and she won't be on campus in the Fall. And not working with me. :(  She was with me through it all. I love you biffle aka LEA!

 

Matthew 18:20

20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”


Those are two things there is more I promise, but I can only think of these 2 right now because I am dead tired. But I will end on these 4 pins I found of pintest not even a few days after me and MAG broke up. I also linked it to my pintrest! :)
