2 days till The Day.

My SO's bags are packed and he's just readying his transportation to the airport so he doesn't miss his flight back to Manila. Here I am getting some studying in, so I have less to think about on Monday. Our schedules have the afternoon booked for each other, then dinner with his family.

To be honest I have never been more nervous about the situation. It's more than just the logistics of meeting up in a city so recently plagued by flooding and traffic. It's more than the nervousness of meeting some of his relatives for the first time. Till Monday lunchtime there will be a part of me worrying about the moment that my SO and I meet again. There's always the nagging voice asking, What if it's not all it's cracked up to be? What if he is disappointed with how you look in person? What if the spark disappears in person?

But all I can do is leave this up to faith. Faith that God has brought me and my SO this far and will bring us further. Faith that our friendship and trust stand strong even when romance changes between us. Faith that our closing the distance will be blessed in a new and wonderful way.

Here's to starting this new chapter soon!
