One minute I&#39;m happy and energetic, the next minute I&#39;m depressed and exhausted.  I really wish my heart would just make up her damn mind!  The very minute something starts to interest me or I start to feel somewhat... normal, my heart has to go and ruin it all!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really do hate missing him.  I know he no longer loves me.  I know.  I know he doesn&#39;t want me.  I call my little girl every night while she&#39;s visiting him and when I speak with her, I&#39;m silently praying he wants to speak to me too.  But he never does.  Sometimes he sounds almost happy to hear my voice.  Other times he sounds as though I&#39;m just a huge bother.  I really wish he would stop causing my heart to flutter and flip.  I know he&#39;s not actually doing anything.  It&#39;s all me.  I just can&#39;t seem to learn, to train myself.  I have 2 years worth of this emotional ride of turmoil?

I pray and quite often, but it always ends up being selfish.  The thing is, I long to speak to my Pastor.  But he&#39;s over 900 miles away where my church sits.  *sigh*  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God brought me through a lot of things in my short 30 years.  I know there&#39;s always a purpose for the way things go.  And I know that, while there is a path intended for you to take, and you step off that path, God merely sets new paths before you.  There is always a &quot;correct&quot; path, as it were, to keep in the direction towards what He&#39;s set for you.  It&#39;s just a matter of taking that right path.  The problem with me is, I think I keep ignoring the path He sets in front of me, both unknowingly and knowing.  Sucks, man. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The paths I took that brought me to my husband... There was a reason that path was indeed chosen for me.  Which I&#39;ve come to believe my daughter was that reason.  Flash forward to these days, through my ramblings here right?  What&#39;s the Lord&#39;s plan now?  Is He speaking to me and I cannot hear?  Is He telling me to continue to hold on to my hope with a steel like gripe?  Or is that simply me ignoring Him possibly telling me it&#39;s time to let go?  I wish I knew.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Honestly, when we spoke last week, and hearing him tell me the things he told me, it really did ease some of the pain.&amp;nbsp; Knowing that the last decade wasn&#39;t a fake.&amp;nbsp; He gave me a kind of hope too.&amp;nbsp; And part of me wishes he hadn&#39;t.&amp;nbsp; Holding on to the hope that just maybe, here in the future, we will be together again, hurts worse then I could have ever imagined.&amp;nbsp; Does he think of me like I think of him?&amp;nbsp; Does he look forward to that sort of future like I look forward to it?&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve always been one of those people that could never quite get their thoughts and opinions out when speaking to a person.&amp;nbsp; I would act before I think, speak before I think, get angry, upset... etc. you get the drift.&amp;nbsp; I took up writing out letters and such as a form to reach out and do just as I was wanting when needing to get across to another person.&amp;nbsp; My husband knows I&#39;m like this.&amp;nbsp; Hell, he knows I&#39;m simply long winded as it is, lol.&amp;nbsp; Thus, the letter.&amp;nbsp; It explains lots of things.&amp;nbsp; Above all else, however, it repeatedly reminds him of just how much I love him.&amp;nbsp; I hope he is not put off by my letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any case, I simply hope it will help out future relationship when it pertains to our daughter.&amp;nbsp; Whether or not we do ever find our paths merging once more, that&#39;s beside the point.&amp;nbsp; I simply want to get along on a nice, trusting, friendly level with him.&amp;nbsp; I have to, it kills me that we weren&#39;t.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sunblight.blogspot.com/feeds/2470961214838638862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sunblight.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-open-book.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8527415909044139963/posts/default/2470961214838638862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8527415909044139963/posts/default/2470961214838638862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sunblight.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-open-book.html' title='I&#39;m an Open Book'/><author><name>Ody</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18035568592486382020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimrxox0ZssXKc8vaLNsmFt6I2ChDWmZl139-94mKDLqeGBtIX1xlfHDvACD1lCN1E_t_PNiVAmPtz-XmbF1ixHm5XwU0VWiI2EBCDBhvB-LfFDvD1vJVnIfnBiLxA/s220/mde_ody.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527415909044139963.post-2572500655015641000</id><published>2011-07-17T21:25:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-07-17T21:25:46.235-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="family"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hurt"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="life"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sad"/><title type='text'>Finding Strength</title><content type='html'>I&#39;ve been writing my daily life down for months now in a notebook.&amp;nbsp; And then I decided, why not blog it?&amp;nbsp; People love to read blogs, especially about drama and other type right?&amp;nbsp; Thus, here, this will be my private little blog about finding strength and courage to take on another day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See, I&#39;m looking for strength and courage because my husband and I have separated and quite possibly for good.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s taken a serious toll on me.&amp;nbsp; Especially since we have a child together.&amp;nbsp; While I wake up in the morning and try and find a reason to smile and move on, I must be certain my daughter is healthy, happy, and enjoying every day.&amp;nbsp; I find this so hard simply because... I miss my husband and still love him deeply. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not sure my heart will ever heal.&amp;nbsp; It yearns and bleeds and weeps.&amp;nbsp; The other half of my soul is gone.&amp;nbsp; And finding something to fill the void hasn&#39;t been easy.&amp;nbsp; Still isn&#39;t easy to be honest.&amp;nbsp; But I&#39;m dealing.&amp;nbsp; It hurts so much.&amp;nbsp; This pain is worse then child birth, worse then a broken leg, worse then being burned.&amp;nbsp; I never thought I&#39;d be capable of living through such pain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I suppose this is my first post.&amp;nbsp; Tomorrow will be a new day.&amp;nbsp; I will be posting everyday for as long as I live in this pain.&amp;nbsp;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sunblight.blogspot.com/feeds/2572500655015641000/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sunblight.blogspot.com/2011/07/finding-strength.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8527415909044139963/posts/default/2572500655015641000'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8527415909044139963/posts/default/2572500655015641000'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sunblight.blogspot.com/2011/07/finding-strength.html' title='Finding Strength'/><author><name>Ody</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18035568592486382020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimrxox0ZssXKc8vaLNsmFt6I2ChDWmZl139-94mKDLqeGBtIX1xlfHDvACD1lCN1E_t_PNiVAmPtz-XmbF1ixHm5XwU0VWiI2EBCDBhvB-LfFDvD1vJVnIfnBiLxA/s220/mde_ody.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
