MIA Explained

I don’t want to flatter myself and assume that my readers have been wondering where I have been, but in case any of you have been wondering, I hope this post satisfies your curiosity.


I have prayed about writing this post.

I have already hit backspace about a million times, trying to come up with a good way to lead into this. I give up. So, here it is: my boyfriend of five and half years and I ended our relationship recently, and I have been dealing with that. I thought it would be best to stay away from blogger while I dealt with the initial changes in my life; emotions are not to be trusted in the drivers seat. I refuse to throw a pity party for myself on my site, nor will I throw a bashing party for him.

I promise you that I’m doing well. I promise you that I have my ugly moments. I promise you that I’m hurt. And I promise you that I truly believe that God has a better, and more beautiful plan for my life now than when I was trying so desperately to control it myself.

I really don’t want Blue-Eyed Blog to turn into "The Break-Up Chronicles", but of course, in order to keep this the honest blog that I strive for it to be, I will share all the hard things I learn along the way with you while writing about all the wonderful things that are still present in my life. If you are still around these days, thank you so much for hanging in there while I have been exceedingly MIA. As always, your readership makes me smile. And smiles are valued more than ever during this time of heartache.

I want to share one more thing with you, Reader-Friends. Watch the video below; this is why I’m truly okay in the midst of this time.

So sorry to hear that! It is definitely hard to deal with after being together so long, but you will get through it!

I have missed you since I certainly do read your musings and love to hear from you. Heartbreak is horrible, but it is the sandpaper that smooths away the rough edges of our lives, changes us and makes us stronger and better. You are so right - God has the PERFECT plan and in your heartache, you are still inspiring other young people with your words. God bless you while you are blessing other people. Keep the faith, Amber Marie, and look forward to seeing what God has in store for you! It's going to be an amazing journey!
