My Lord,
deep breath... each time i begin a letter to you, i always feel humble. not only because you love me and your letters sustain me, but because i am still here. in your presence, under your protection and submerged in your love.
in this extended season of singleness, i have truly learned to wait on you. i have surrendered those "things" from my past and i have opened my heart completely to your will for me. i feel like a new creature, again. our wedding day still lingers in my heart. journeying with you during the winter months, truly changed something in me. hearing you make promises to me in this season of my life, touched the core of me. it solidified and sealed my heart to you.
yes, we've known one another for quite sometime, but in the flesh, humans oftentimes gain a new perspective on the "things" that are occurring in there lives. you gave me that god, and i will not lose sight of what you and i have promised one another. i am your bride and nothing can take me away from your love.
i want to share two things that you revealed to me today. things that i already know but never want to forget. i just love when i'm having private moments with you in public and silent tears fall. i often wonder if people feel sorry for me, thinking that something bad must have happened. having no idea that the holy spirit just spoke to me.
* today's motivational quote: whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to past! - paul j. meyer
* today's devotional: god, could you please hurry up? don't give up hope that god is faithful, and you can rely on his perfect timing. fix your eyes on him and enjoy the journey to your destination. there are things to be learned along the way that will enhance the joy of a promise fulfilled.
* her prayer in closing: dear lord, sometimes i don't understand your timing. it's often very hard to wait, but i trust you. i want to rely on your ways and your timing. help me to learn what i need to learn as i wait. in jesus' name, amen.
my lord, i just want to say that his quote resonates with me because i've experienced it. surrendering my house and finances to you bought me to a place unimaginable. peace and pure joy. completely priceless. there are no regrets. not one. in a matter of 2 months, you fulfilled two dreams of mine. praises go up!
regarding her devotional. i know that to be true because i trust you. i know that waiting is difficult and i've come to learn way before reading this that you want the best for me. i "wanted" things that were not good for me and i wanted situations and circumstances to hurry along because i was uncomfortable and i was not happy... work, relationships, etc.
knowing that you are in control, surely adds to my beauty sleep and knowing that this life is surely not about me brings laughter to my spirit. because when i'm in my fleshly moments, you snap me right back to my roots. completely grounded in your word. a place that will always, always be home to me.
eternally yours
