Life is Crazy...but God is good :)

Hello beautiful girls!
I am so excited to share this Lenten journey with all of you, I think it's really going to be amazing and challenging. Which is exactly how I'd describe my past few months.
As a lot of you know, at the beginning of this semester I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 and a half years, Mike. Mike was and is a great person, and I was very happy with our relationship. In a lot of ways, I started building my whole life around Mike. 'This must be it, God... Mike must be the One.' But come October or November of last year, God took the peace from my heart that had been there for so long. "Look at me, and only at me, and you will be able to evaluate your relationship so much better," God was telling me. So I did, and I was saddened to see deep flaws in something I thought was so perfect. And still I bargained with God, not to take away my Mike, for us to be able to work through it... I waited and cried and tried to pretend like everything was as it always had been.
But in the end, God taught me how to praise Him, the God that gives AND takes away.
This semester, He has definitely taken away. My Mike, my grandfather, several friends, and soon my grandmother, who is in the final stages of her cancer. But He does it all for a reason. You have to believe that, or you're not going to get through it all.
In all this process, I am so blessed to say that God made it easier by putting another potential guy into my life. Well, easier in some ways and harder in others. The point is, I learned from my relationship with Mike that I need to guard my heart better and focus the entire thing on Him and not on him, as it were. I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know Kenny, and his faith is amazing to me. But I am being very careful with my heart. If or when the day comes that I fall in love again, with Kenny or anyone else, I want to make sure that this love takes nothing, and in fact gives greatly, to my love for God.
Ladies, I just want you to know that you are beautiful and deeply loved by God. Find your value in Him alone, because He is never going to lie, cheat on you, ignore you, make you feel unappreciated, forget to call, hurt your feelings, encroach on your purity and chastity, pressure you, or anything else that human boys can do. Jesus is the ideal man, and he seeks the ideal relationship with you, his beautiful daughter.
