End of the engagement
something changed today. i feel like i have a new sense of who i am, what i'm about and where i'm going.
Thank You, God for opening my eyes, my heart and my mind to the beauty of who You are and where You long for me to be. In Your arms. In Your love.
I love You. You're truer than any (almost) lover. Your love is pure, hopeful and genuine. That's only to name three traits... there are so many more. But those three are three that were difficult for this last man, Marketing Guy (some called him Capt. America).
I didn't see it right away. In fact, I didn't see his stubbornness and cold heart toward You until it was nearly too late. I didn't see how childish he was in relationships and his views on leadership until today, three months into the relationship and two weeks into our engagement. Thank You for godly leadership and council. I am forever thankful.
I feel a stronger pull toward Your way. Lord, I'm all Yours. Every part of me. Make me wholly Yours. I am Yours and no one else's. I belong to You, Lover of my soul. Keeper of my heart's treasures and soul's longings. You are beautiful to me and I'm excited to see where You lead me.
I know You have an incredible man in store for me,
a man who will see the mission we have as a couple,
who won't be offended when he's told there's more potential to his faith, there's so much closer he can be to You
who will be mature in his relationships with other people because he recognizes the importance of keeping solid, deep and strong relationships by being plugged into his church
who knows what it is to love
who knows that in loving a woman, driving four hours is nothing, money is nothing... loving the woman is everything
He's there. He's out there. I'll do everything I can to make sure I'm ready when he comes my way and we embark on the mission you have in place for us, Lord. I'm Yours today and I'll be Yours with him. I'm Yours forever. Lead me. You know me better than even I know myself.
