Long Summer Ahead

I'm doing something new this summer. I'm living in Omaha. Well, not exactly Omaha, but Fort Calhoun. A small town about 20 miles north of Omaha. The reason I chose to do something different this summer was all wrapped around one person. My boyfriend. I looked for jobs and housing and tried to line it all up before I told him. Well, one day when it looked like it might not happen, I told him. He then quickly helped me to plan the next three months of my life.It was great. Everything went smoothly for the first couple of weeks. I got to go home and visit, start one of my jobs and hang out with my friends. Then it happened....we broke up. It wasn't a terrible break-up or anything. It was just one of those relationships where it wasn't going to work. However, I now, have pretty much no reason to stay in Omaha, save my job commitments. I've been lonely, and on my recent visit home, I wanted nothing more than to just stay home, where I belonged. Yet, through out this series of unfortunate events, I have been learning. I don't want to say that this is the place God wanted me, because I really don't know that He did. I was hasty in my decisions and did not seek His guidance in the situation. But He is using this time to teach me so much! I could never imagine how lonely or how much I relied on the company of my boyfriend. This is a good thing in most circumstances, but in mine it was not. I was too focused on my future, that I was not investing in my present. I see that now, even though it is too late, I can still continue on. Even though I'd rather be almost anywhere than here, I know that I can still learn from my situation and must continue on in the path I have chosen. But believe me, I'm so thinking twice before I make plans based on a young man again... ;)
