Yes, Lord
Conviction. Goodness it hits hard.
Yesterday it harder than I have ever felt it in my entire life, and today I responded faster than I ever have in my life.
I don’t know how many of you know about my relationship status, but I was dating a boy I met this summer. It wasn’t anything too serious since I moved away just recently, but I definitely liked him. At the beginning of our relationship though, I didn’t exactly make it as clear as I should have how strong I was in my faith and that I wanted our relationship to be centered around that. My fault. What was I thinking? That is SO not Haley it isn’t even funny. Never-the-less, I am at House Church last night in complete worship with God, and there it was. Loud and clear. Break up. "This isn’t about Me at all," I heard. And that was true. Our relationship wasn’t about Him. At all. So House Church ends and I head back to the dorm. As soon as I got home I opened my Bible and started reading 2 Corinthians. I never do that, is the weird thing. So I keep reading and I get here…
"Do not mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light and darkness have?"
Got me. He got me.
So today, I approached the situation. No change. Therefore….
No Boyfriend.
You are so definitely growing up - in more ways than one! What you did is one of the hardest things to do. Following God & not what you want to do! I am proud of you & support you in prayer. I love you!

It sounds like you made the right choice to listen to what God was telling you. I know its hard sometimes when that fear of the unknown creeps up on you, but you seem to feel better about everything now.
