In the 6 months me and Cassia were apart, God revealed a lot of things that I needed to take care of in my own life and the mindset I needed when starting our relationship again. I'm not going to go into all of those things now, just because it could take awhile.
We (Cassia and I) seem to agree that one of the hardest parts of being apart was not being able to be there for each other and just not being there with each other. We both went through some things during that time and all we could do was silently lift one another up in prayer, all the while wishing we could be there to comfort the other. I had a hard time going to places separately that we once went to together. I would go to restaurants or stores that we would frequent and it was always hard. I hated leaving church on Sunday because I knew I wouldn't be able to see or talk to her during the following week.
But now God has returned her to me. I am able to come along side her and be a significant part of her life again. As we go through our trials and circumstances, I know I have her there with me and I have the tangible comfort that I so greatly missed. Instead of "cheering" for each other silently we get to spend time in prayer and the word together. We now are able to return to those places we once visited, and find new ones to create new memories at. :)
And that is what God has been showing me these past few days, to always cherish my time with Cassia. I think it's partly because she's starting school again and mostly because I just need and want to always remember the blessing she is to me. I don't ever want to lose sight of the great gift that she is. And when I do remember that, it makes our relationship so much sweeter. It makes all the times we are together special; whether we are shopping, eating out, watching tv, hanging out with friends, praying, etc. Even when we are together and doing these "ordinary" things, I think God used our time apart to make me realize every time we are with each other is "extraordinary" and special.
