It has been almost a year since we lived in the same city
Even then I awaited the heaviest of goodbyes.
My heart is more thankful for what has been and more excited about what will be, all because of what had to be despite what I would’ve chosen.
Yahweh Maccaddeshcem knew what He was doing and still does. Who am I to doubt Him? Better yet, what on earth makes me think I would be better off if I did?
Because she deserves it…
Because I don’t know how to thank you for your sweet friendship.
You have been a friend to me when it cost you more than your time.
You have been one of the most faithful people in my life, ever.
Because you fear the Lord and trust Him in your ways,
Because strength and dignity are your clothing and you laugh at the time to come,
Thank you, Amanda (@althompson)

“I know I’m in love with you. I can’t deny it. Even when I don’t feel it, I long for you. When you don’t make me happy I still want more of you. When you surprise me and romance me, I think, “This is who you are. This is how you got me. You are perfect.” When you’re quiet and so far away I can get so frustrated.. Even in my frustration I find myself looking for you, being still for your quiet words and sensitive to your movement. I want, more than anything, to hear your voice. I desire your touch- my heart aches for it! I just want to be with you. I would give my life away for you; I would give my favorite things away for just one moment with the real you. You’re so sweet to me- making me smile in ways that nothing else can.
It’s a love story, really. A story of the perfect You loving a frail, not-so-perfect me. It’s a romance- the way you wink at me when no one else sees. How you’re so close to me and nothing can move us. I want the things you want and I love the things you love.”
This is how I know I am really yours… Because even when I don’t want you, I still want you more than anything in the world.
“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Psalm 91.
He is so good and so worth it.
