<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Distance has a way of exposing the quiet fears we try to ignore.
When the person we love isn\u2019t near, the silence between messages becomes a mirror \u2014 reflecting to us all the places we still don\u2019t feel safe or worthy of love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Boy oh boy, long-distance relationships aren\u2019t for the faint of heart \u2014 I\u2019ll tell ya that! It\u2019s been over a year now, and a few weeks before my recent trip, I was this close<\/em> to calling it quits. Because I already had a flight booked, I figured it would be a good time to grab my belongings from his place and have an honest, in-person talk about how we just weren\u2019t compatible long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know he could feel me pulling away. Our communication had slowly dwindled down to the occasional \u201cgood morning\u201d<\/em> and \u201cgood night\u201d<\/em> \u2014 the bare minimum to stay connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I landed in Denver, I wasn\u2019t expecting much. The first time we spoke in weeks was him calling to say he was pulling up to my pickup gate. I got in his car, fully prepared for there to be zero connection \u2014 just the familiar friendship we\u2019ve always shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to my surprise, even as I tried to keep my heart closed, that wall didn\u2019t last long. By the time we arrived at his apartment, it was game over. The moment we laid down on the bed, all my doubts melted away. Suddenly, I was back in the love I thought had died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few days, I found myself questioning everything<\/em> I had convinced myself of before this trip. Why had I created so many false reasons why we weren\u2019t compatible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had convinced myself we weren\u2019t on the same spiritual path \u2014 that I was constantly growing while he was content just \u201ccoasting\u201d through life. I told myself our conversations would always stay surface-level, that he\u2019d never meet me in the depths where I crave emotional intimacy. I even believed his video games came before me, and that I was just another dopamine hit that had worn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that trip, we stayed up late talking about God, our fears, and the parts of ourselves we don\u2019t usually share. We laughed \u2014 a lot. He barely played any games and seemed completely present with me. Everything felt easy again. I could talk about anything, be completely myself, and feel entirely seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every one of my doubts dissolved. It became clear that my mind had been trying to protect me \u2014 not destroy what was good. After years of toxic and abusive relationships, I understand why it works overtime to keep me \u201csafe.\u201d You can\u2019t get hurt if you never get close, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s what I realized:
My mind wasn\u2019t protecting me from him \u2014 it was preparing me for loss<\/em>.
And in doing so, it was creating the very distance I was afraid of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Distance Between Fear & Faith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now that I\u2019d gained awareness that my mind wasn\u2019t actually trying to sabotage<\/em> me \u2014 but rather protect<\/em> me from emotional pain \u2014 I knew I had to find a new way to rewire my beliefs. I didn\u2019t want to keep repeating the same fear-based patterns every time love felt uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One constant in my life, the anchor beneath all my storms, is my relationship with God.
Whenever I feel unsure \u2014 especially in love \u2014 I turn back to Him. I fall into His arms and remember where real safety lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in seasons when I can\u2019t clearly see, feel, or hear Him, I know<\/em> He\u2019s near. That quiet inner knowing is what faith truly is \u2014 believing in the unseen, trusting what cannot yet be proven, and finding peace in what doesn\u2019t yet make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This long-distance season has become a divine classroom for me \u2014 one where God is teaching me how to strengthen my faith and loosen my grip on control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if I\u2019m being honest, control<\/em> has been one of my lifelong struggles. I\u2019d probably classify myself as a full-blown control freak (got it from my momma, what can I say). Living with Type 1 diabetes certainly plays a part too \u2014 when every number and decision can affect your body, control becomes a necessary survival skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what I\u2019m learning now is that the same control that keeps me \u201csafe\u201d also keeps me separate<\/em> \u2014 from love, flow, and the deeper intimacy I crave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is using this relationship to gently reveal how fear disguises itself as control.

My mind says,<\/strong>
\u201cIf I manage every variable, I won\u2019t get hurt.\u201d<\/em>

But my soul whispers,<\/strong>
\u201cIf you surrender, you\u2019ll be free.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s the real distance between fear and faith \u2014
Fear says hold on tighter.
<\/em>Faith says let go and trust Me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

💫 Closing Reflection: Choosing Faith Over Fear<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how things unfold, I\u2019ve come to realize that I always hold the power of choice.
<\/em>Every moment invites me to choose \u2014 will I trust, or will I control?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For anyone else walking through a long-distance season right now, I see you. I know how heavy it can feel, and how it\u2019s not always easy (or even fun) to love someone from afar. But please remember \u2014 as I too remind myself \u2014 that this season was specifically designed for you<\/em> by the Creator Himself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a punishment. It\u2019s preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God isn\u2019t withholding love from us \u2014 He\u2019s refining us for<\/em> love.
He\u2019s guiding us through this distance to build deeper resilience, unshakable faith, and a love rooted not in fear of loss, but in trust of His divine timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s using these moments to write a greater testimony within us \u2014 one that reflects His unwavering devotion, even when we struggle to trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is my number one. <\/strong>If I have Him, I have everything. <\/strong>Therefore, nothing and no one can ever truly harm me again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may not know what my future holds \u2014 but I do<\/em> know who holds my future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you,\u201d declares the Lord,
\u201cplans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you a future and a hope.\u201d
\u2014 <\/strong>Jeremiah 29:11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Final Reminder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So wherever you are in your own \u201cdistance\u201d \u2014 whether it\u2019s physical miles, emotional walls, or a spiritual in-between \u2014 take a moment to ask yourself: What is this space teaching me about faith?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let this be your reminder that distance doesn\u2019t weaken what\u2019s real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faith bridges every gap that fear tries to widen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this season isn\u2019t about waiting for love to return, but allowing God to return you<\/em> to love \u2014 within yourself first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s not about holding on tighter, but learning to let go<\/em> and trust that what\u2019s meant for you will always find its way. 💝🙏<\/p>\n\n\n\n
