Movie Moment

The boyfriend has been gone from this city for a week now. And for me it's been a week of adjusting back to having my evenings mostly free. I miss having him around for the day to day, but I believe wholeheartedly in God's sovereignty in His working out many details for him to get the job he moved away for.

J is a friendly guy and left behind a string of restaurant workers and shop clerks that knew he wouldn't be frequenting their establishments any more.

Earlier this week I went out to nearby Chinese restaurant over my lunch break. I walked in and sat down at the table the boyfriend and I always sat at together (granted this was maybe once a month we'd go in together). I left his chair vacant and sat in my customary seat. I pulled a book from my bag and settled in. One of the woman walked over with the menu. She held two in her hand. Motioning to J's empty seat, she asked with a smile through her accent, "Is he coming?"
