Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

(click button to link up)

Happy Labor Day!!

One- I haven't posted a picture of Trek and I in awhile! I am wearing a BondiBand! After this post we're going on another ride...on a Monday! What a treat!


Two- I have a 5k this Saturday, Autumn Rock n Run 5k! I am stoked...but gotta get a few good runs in before then!

Three- I had this made for my best friend. It turned out great! You gotta check out Poppy Chic Jewelry!


Four- The boyfriend and I broke up last night. I hope it's just a break, that's the feeling I keep getting from God. I have never had my heart broken this way before. He is the one. God has made this clear to me. But I feel I have lost him. We had many fights and problems but I never thought it would come to this. I don't even know what to do or think other than pray. I find myself questioning God and that is so wrong of me to do. I know he has a plan but this really sucks. He is my best friend, the only person I have fully opened my heart to, my other half. Gah.

Did you & your boyfriend(or hubby) have a huge breakup or fight? How did you mend things back together? Was it just a matter of time... Any words of advice and prayer would be so appreciated right now. I refuse to give up on him and "us".

That's all I've got today... I hope you all have or had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Sorry to hear about your break. I would say if it is something you both want you will come back together again. But some times time apart can put things into perspective and give you a clear look on things. When you are together things can feel muddled and hard to figure out.

Keep busy and your heart will lead you on "your" path.

HI, Michelle,
I'm visiting from Carissa's. Sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend. I just want to relate something from my dating days for you. I was absolutely crazy about someone I was dating before I met my husband. I was sure he was "the one". We were so close and I was sure he was a gift from God. He dropped me out of the blue one day. I was a mess for quite a while after that. I was even angry with God. I couldn't see how he could send me someone so wonderful then let him slip away. I begged and pleaded with God.

Twenty years later(now), I see that God's plan was far bigger and better than I could imagine. Several months after the guy stepped out of my life, I met someone new,a really great guy. The problem was, he just wasn't "me",but I thought he'd be an incredible friend for life. That friendship grew and grew. He was crazy about me (that makes him crazy), and I really liked him. I realized he would be a wonderful husband and God somehow managed to let me know I was to marry him. I married him 18 years ago. I'm totally crazy about him. He's my best friend. We have four beautiful daughters and a good life. He is such a Godly man that I learn from him each day.

I can look back and see what a train wreck the other relationship would have been. I wanted so badly to have the first guy in my life at the time, that I couldn't see beyond that.
I will pray for you. Please come to my blog and see what God had planned for me. I know he has something planned for you too.
Blessing!

***I hope I didn't say too much. I just can remember, so vividly, being where you are.

Summer said...

Have lots of fun with trek an the 5K!! That necklace is presh how sweet of you to get it for her!!

Break ups stink! I was with what I thought was "the one" from 10th Grade until I was 22 years old! We would always have arguments (high school stuff), break up get back together, ya know drama, but he was my first real relationship and when I was 22 we broke up and I was devastated, I realized as time passed that I was better without him and God was changing this season in my life for a reason! The break opened my eyes to alot....and after awhile I realized I was fine...and then....when I was 23 I met THE ONE....married him the next year and he is still "The Hubs" :0)

So hang in there pretty girl, if he is the one the break will bring you closer than ever and if he is not the break will open your eyes to it

Hello my sweet beautiful friend!! You are so cute on your bike- I love it!! I also love the necklace you had made for your friend- i will def have to check out Poppy Chic!

My heart hurts for you right now and I'm so sorry you are going through a tough time. Tyson and I went on a break/ broke up a few months before he proposed to me- weird, i know. it was such a blessing though because we both realized a lot of things and got back together. I promise God has such a great plan for you and even in the hardest of times, you just have to trust Him. Even with all the little question marks and unanswered questions- I know He has such a great and special plan for you.

I'm not even sure how we patched things up- we would still try to see each other and meet for dinner (we broke up for 3 weeks i think?) and talk on the phone once a day. Maybe that helped us- Worth a try though!! Praying for you beautiful girl!!!

Dear 'Chelle, so sorry to her about your breakup. That H.U.R.T.S.! Praying for you today and sending a hug. Know that God will carry your heart in His tender hands and will mend it back together in His loving, perfect way. Whether this guy is knit back into your life or not. - Hugs, ~K

Praying for you today, dear sister.

The one thing the Lord has really been challenging my heart on lately is this: if he comes back to you, and if it works out, wonderful, incredible, and glorious. and if he does not, the Lord has someone else, someone better (how stupid that sounds right now) and someone who you will be able to love. He is trustworthy. He has never let you down, has He? He doesn't plan on starting now.

I love you. Enjoy your bike ride, and spend the whole time praying and pouring your heart out. Be honest with Him. He knows it all already.

Pour your heart out like water before the presence of the Lord. Lamentations 2:19

Oooooh, I want to hug you until you can't breathe!

1 - I LOVE that necklace -- completely adore it! So simple & elegant at the same time!! AND good for a Mommy to wear as she's taking care of two gorgeous babies. :)

2 - Just breathe. Feel your heart, and let it ALL out -- I just went through "the break up" and I really truly learned that it was all for the best & definitely the path my life was supposed to take. You will know, one way or the other, in time -- what's meant to be, will be.

You are a STRONG & beautiful girl -- life isn't easy, but you (as you well know) will find the path you're destined to be on.

Call me if you need ANYTHING. <3

Dorcas said...

I will be praying for you. I am sorry about your boyfriend. God is in control. He knows if he's the one for you or not. He will let you know.

You take care. Many blessings

Oh Sweetpea... I've been with my hubby since I was 15 (half my life). We have been through A LOT of tough seasons, and through the grace of God we have made it through. I'd love to say I have advice for you, but without knowing the details... I'm at a loss. My best advice is to trust in the sovereignty of God and that He works in all things.
This is when I wish I had a phone number... I'd rather talk and pray with you over the phone lines.
Sending you love and a tight squeeze today.

I'm sorry, girl. I know it probably hurts so bad right now, and that words don't make things better, but just do know that there is a reason for everything and know that I'm praying for you. I only had one boyfriend before my husband, and he dumped me, which was really really hard for a long time. There's no way I could've known that I would meet Josiah 5 months later and fall head over heels for him...it just hurt so badly at that moment. So just cling to Jesus because He is the only one who will get you through. Keep your chin up, sweet girl!

I am so sorry about the break. Praying that God will mend your broken heart and the relationship if that is His will.

I am so sorry to hear about your break up. Every relationship has problems and growing pains. Hopefully all of this will pass soon. I know that it doesn't really help right now and I used to hate to hear it but anytime I had relationship issues my momma would always says that "whats meant to be will be". I hope that everything works out the way you want them too.

michelle <3 i am praying for you as you go through this. i can't even imagine how you must feel, but i hope that god comforts you and that he strengthens you in ways you couldn't even imagine. <3<3

and good luck in your 5k!

Months before my husband and I were engaged, he wanted to go on a break. He was going through a log at the time and almost lost his mom. I knew that if we went on a break, it would be over, and I knew we were supposed to be together. I just had to have my husband realize that. We were "apart" for a couple of months until I got to the point that I decided it was up to him. I loved him enough to let him go, but after lots of talking, we knew that we were right where God wanted us to be. Just pray over your relationship.

Im so sorry to hear about the breakup. I know they are so hard. Stay strong. After I got my heart broken I wanted nothing to do with being any where near a relationship, shortly after I was getting back on my feet from heart break I ran into a "friend" and we've been married for over a year. The only words of wisdom I can truly give to you is that love is hard work and if your meant to be with this man god will make it happen. God has a plan for you and will take care of you. I know relationships are hard but the ones that your supposed to be in are always able to move forward from a fight or conflict. It will be ok even though it may not feel like it right now. <3
