a letter to you

Dear __________,

I'm not sure if we've met yet, but I am completely in love with you (or someday I will be at least). I look for you everyday, but I'm not sure if I see you. I'll pick up my phone to dial your number just to chat, but I never know what it is. You are very elusive, but I can only imagine how wonderful it will be when I meet you. I pray for you everyday because I know you do the same, and our wonderful God knows your name. He has graciously and lovingly placed us together to start a wonderful life, but maybe it just hasn't hit us both yet.

I want you to know that I am thinking of you everyday. I cannot wait to hold your hand, if I haven't yet. I cannot wait to tell everyone about you, unless they already know. Somewhere out there, you're looking for me too. I'll find you someday, and I am being so patient until then (or trying).

I wonder what you do with your every single day. Are you a student or are you already out of school? Or are you a free spirit just wandering around wherever the day takes you? Do you like to watch movies or just sit and listen to the radio? I do hope that you love the sound and beauty of a storm like I do...

Know that I love you and cannot wait to meet you, unless we already have. In God's time, this will be wonderful and the most perfect gift that has ever been given to the both of us. I warn you, I'm terrible at relationships and they scare me to death. I am not afraid of loving because I do so without question. I am trusting and a hopeless romantic (exactly why I am writing this letter). God will lead me to you, in his time...

I love you,
your future wife

Just a thought...if you want to talk to someone...never hesitate...you never know how good it could be. Don't worry about it. They will listen, good or bad. DO NOT be afraid. Do it.

So, a couple things Ladies...

1. You are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

2. On that note, you do not NEED anyone to tell you that fact.

3. God made us beautiful and strong women. Yes, we worry, but there is no need to.

4. HE has a plan, whether or not we want to acknowledge it yet.

5. This plan may not be yours. It sure as well wasn't mine. ;)

6. Don't let yourself block Him out. (I really need to work on this myself. I should be putting all of my burdens on him with no question.)

Just try and remember all of this. I mostly did this for myself, but hey, that's ok!

"I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."
Jeremiah 29: 11

I may not have all that I want right now, but HE HAS A PLAN! I have no doubt and I need to claim that everyday. Even when things aren't exactly how I want them, I need to realize this more and more everyday. He has NEVER let me down and he NEVER will.
