How are you? Me…doing great now that you’ve been sent to me.

You see, I didn’t know you existed. I prayed for you. I prayed for your well being, your blessings, your strength, your continued commitment to Him, your…everything.

I’m glad you exist. I thought I’d become one of those crazy single chicks who’d lost their mind in the time of desperation.

But you do exist, even if I don’t know your name, age, or ethnicity.

You know I love you right? Ummm hmmm, lil ole me. The one who never wanted to put her heart out there…well ever since R, but that’s neither here nor there. Who’s R, you ask? Just a situation that further prepared me for you. God is good like that. You think those experiences are there to hurt you but in the end they cause you to learn and grow.

You know I didn’t recognize you at first. You came in a package that was unfamiliar. One that I hadn’t pre-fabricated. But you are a pleasant suprise. You make dig deeper and think broader. Thank you.

But with most things, I had to learn to get out of my own way. I had to learn to become self loving and self sufficient. Although you shouldn’t ‘technically’ complete me…you have what I lack and vice versa. It’s a beautiful occurence.

I hope that I am all that you asked for and if I have a weakness, let me know. Growth is necessary and I don’t want to be the same person as the day I met you. The same goes for you. In our old age, I still want to discover new layers of you.

We both know this journey won’t be easy. Nothing worth it, ever is. You know who we have to keep in the center of this right? Of course. You’ve never been hesitant to profess the goodness of God. I pray we both have the wisdom to consult Him in all things. It really does work. Remember me telling you about my grandparents? Now that’s a God centered relationship. It’ll be 57yrs as of the 29th of January. That’s a miracle these days.

Well I feel myself beginning to ramble :-) This won’t be my last letter by a long shot. I thank God for creating me and you…one day we’ll become we.

Sincerely,
Your future friend, wife, and lover
