youth group.

Today, my boyfriend left for a missions trip to another country, where he will be for a week and a half. :'( During that time, we can't use the phone at all, and can only talk online sparingly, due to their schedule. I know, it's a good thing he's doing. He's going to have a blast and learn a lot, but I sure wish I was with him. :( I didn't even get to tell him a proper good bye, because my brothers were being idiots. By the time I finally got to walk to my bedroom, he had to leave for the airport. At least I got a quick "Love you too" from him during my youth group break tonight. Of all nights, tonight the youth pastor decided to talk about dating/courtship. All I could think the entire time was how special he is, and how he fits every quality a spouse is supposed to have. I wanted to speak up, to talk to the youth pastor and the rest of the kids. I wanted to explain to them how God will always bring someone into your life if it's in His plan. I wanted to explain that they don't need to worry about it, and that they'll know it when they meet "the one." I wanted to tell them how wonderful God is, and how amazing the guy is whom God has blessed me with. But I didn't. Someday, I'll have the courage to tell Pastor Kyle just how important my guy is to me. I'll have the courage to ask him to meet with my guy and I, and counsel us. I'll have the courage to ask what he thinks about performing a wedding in a few years. Twenty years away it is not. Just a small three for me. You know, I can't wait for that day.

I love my boy.
