Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sorry about the wall of text, but this is SO important to me.
Please take your time to read this.

I've come to a happy epiphany out of sadness.
You see, I'm moving to Ohio for college. Right now, I live in Louisiana.
For the summer, I'm visiting California for about two months. I'll be back in Louisiana after California for about two weeks just to pack and move to Ohio. (Now that we've got all of the confusing stuff out of the way, I can continue to make a point xD)

I've got this friend named Cody and we have been friends since about two months after I got saved. So, in about October, we became really good friends. We met through one of my friends who had asked my sister and I to sing for his band. We didn't really talk at his first band practice, but for his birthday party, we talked and continued to. We had SO much in common and became WONDERFUL friends... as we are now. He invited me to his church and I've been established there since October. I got asked to join worship team where Cody and I were the lead singers... and it was wonderful. Cody and I sing together, play music together, write together, hang out, confide in each other, grow in the Lord together, and... I mean... I'm leaving this Monday so Wednesday was my last youth group.

I didn't realize I would, but I'd cried my eyes out Wednesday during worship. (I no longer sing for the worship team because I couldn't make the 6 month commitment because I'm moving, which is understandable). When I looked at Cody, I couldn't help but cry my eyes out. After youth group, I continued to hang out with him, but I kept crying. It wasn't until that day that I realized how much I loved him. (As a friend, of course). I've never cared that much about any person besides family before. I mean, I could handle leaving any of my other friends to move... but, I realized that I will have MUCH trouble handling leaving him. Then, I came upon a little trend about all of the people who are good friends, but I can handle leaving. None of them have an intimate relationship with God.
I realized that God put that love in our friendship. We both loved God, so God blessed that friendship. God IS love and that is why we love each other so much. Amidst being sad, I am so thankful for this love. I feel we are bound by God and that our friendship will be until we die no matter how far apart we are. It's sad, though, because we made original music together and I have to leave while we have an unfinished song.

He's going to, at least that's the plan, bring me and my sister to the airport. He also is in process of writing a song about me and my leaving. I don't know if I can handle hearing that... but I will listen >_>

Basically, I'm very sad right now and I can't stop crying. But, I can't stop thanking God for the overwhelming love He has blessed us with. But... what do I do? I continue to pray. But, right now, I can't stop feeling like my heart is hurting for leaving him. Note, I'm also leaving my sister... whom I love with my whole heart.

I came to a wonderful realization amidst this sadness. While I am in awe, I'm still sad. >_<
I wanted to share the greatness with you... and I wanted to know what you had to say about this sadness.

thtas tpuching but it could be worse-he couldve died.
good luck and stuff
