So much so that sometimes you end up questioning the decision to break up in the first place.
One September day, I decided to join my friends for a Saturday tailgate at the very last minute.
They called for me again.

I gave it up, grabbed my things, and ran out the door.
The day was absolutely perfect.
By mid afternoon, I found myself wishing I had someone special to share such a sweet memory with.
Frustrated, I left the game before halftime.
I fought back tears and picked up my phone to dial my mom.
Surely, she would know what to do.

Perhaps he toyed with your heart but says hes changed or has begged for you to take him back.
I dont know the specifics of your situation.
Every television in the gym was broadcasting the game and the Hoosiers had just made a big play.
He would be the one Id walk down the aisle to a few years after that.
Not so ironic, huh?
Maybe mom was onto something.
But that space is >broken.
It isnt something that needs to be filled or patched.
Its something that needs to be healed and mended.
Again, every situation, break up, and relationship is different and Im not saying Mr.
Perfect is going to sweep you off your feet tomorrow if you hold on a little bit longer.
Thats not the point.
It caused me to seek God on a personal level, not just a churchy level.
If theres not a deep-seated peace in your heart about it, theres a reason for that.
Dont overlook it or ignore that reality when your emotions or feelings of loneliness become overwhelming.
Its not worth the cost.
He not only heals the hole but also make the heart WHOLE through that healing.
Healing isnt the easy way, though.
Its the hard way.
But that doesnt mean its not working.
That doesnt mean Gods not there.
That doesnt mean youre not getting stronger.
So go ahead pedal harder, cry it out, wipe your tears, and look up.
