So I have been posting prayer requests for my relationship over the past month or so and we have definitely had ups and downs and more tears that I can imagine. However I do have to say that after splitting up we have both relied on each other because we have both felt so sad, lonely and depressed. I 100% want this relationship to wrok but he felt unhappy and left the relationship. While we are still apart he let me take him and his daughters to dinner tonight and I couldn't have had a better time. We both smiled so much and laughed and had such a wonderful time I thought. I think I probably read too much into it but it was like when we were first dating. I had a wonderful time. I thank you all for all your prayers and thank God for giving me the peace and strength to make it through dinner. The dinner ended with hugs galore from the girls and even a couple hugs from him. I don't want to make something out of nothing but I am still so in love with him and I would like to think that my prayers that his heart will be softened and he can start to find his love for me again. I ask for continued prayers that in his time away he will continue to think of me, to miss me and to find his love for me again. I pray for continued prayers that I can stall calm and find patience. I pray and pray everyday about this and while I rejoice that we had a nice time and seem to be connecting again, I am fearful that I am making something out of nothing. I thank you all for the prayers and advice I have received thus far and appreciate that you all have been here for me. I just pray that I'm not getting my hopes up unecessarily. While we seem to take two steps forward I am still so nervous that I am making more out of everything and I am afraid to build things up and then get hurt again. I believe God is answering all my prayers and helping set us up to rebuild what we had. I pray that this doubt that I have and fear that I am making something out of nothing will pass. I continue to pray in your name Lord that Ben will fine his love for me and want to work on reconciling our relationship. I pray that he will be receptive to dating each other and rebuilding our friendship and love. I just continue to pray in your name Lord that you will continue to help Ben and I have those happy moments with each other. In your name I pray that he will continue to contact me and to reach out to me and build our love up again. Thank you for any continued prayers for us and for all the prayers thus far.
