Of course, I would much rather talk to you over some ice-cream as we watch a sunset on the beach, or at the peak of a mountain that we hiked, or over coffee at our local coffee shop, but for now it will have to be through a computer screen...
You know that song 15? By Taylor swift, well that's where I'm at right now. (That is such a jam, anyway...)
I'm not sure who you are or what is going on in your life right now but there is one thing I am certain of: you are one prayed for man.
I pray that right now you are being moulded into a man of character and integrity. Into a man who will leave, not only memories, but a legacy behind. A man who in the face of trial, when babies get sick, when our son really has done it this time, when we struggle, will be on his knees fighting for his family. I pray that whatever season you are in, you are taking notes, allowing the Lord to grow you and reveal himself to you.
There have been boys I've only thought to be as good as you, and may be more. For every lie or cheat they have told to my face, for every other girl they have turned their heads too, and for every text that was sent to another girl that should have been sent to me, there was a time when I'd lie in my bed looking up at my glow in the dark stars and I just: prayed for your family, your friends, your grades, heart, relationship with God, life, adventures, confidence, health, and happiness.
I pray there is a smile on your face for every tear that has rolled down the edge of mine, For my heart is beginning to look like a newlly paved path, cracks in the cement of scarred times. I need you to know that I've hurt, and I've been hurt. My tulip of innocence has wilted with the drought of love in this world and the poor soil that society has raised me on. But God's grace is more than enough, and I pray that we can grow together, planting seeds of hope and joy in the hearts of others. I pray that I can be all who you need me to be and what you deserve, You deserve my best, but I need you to be able to love me when I'm not. I pray that I can be an endless amount of sunshine on your cloudy days, someone to make you smile when your tears fall down. Some days I may fail, but I pray continuously that I can be all that you need and more, that we can work through our problems, and fix what is broken instead of tossing it out and getting a new one.
As I write this, we are not married yet, we are each currently writing the unique chapters of our lives, that will soon come together as a story. One day I hope to hear about the awesome things you're doing, the laughs, the adventures, the highs, the cries, the sights, the lessons and all that comes with that. Our love can be one to remember, as beautiful as a sunset and as captivating as the deep blue ocean, like learning to fly, exciting, scary all at the same time...
Until then I'll be living my adventures and you'll live yours and I'll wait until the day we can live them together...
Love from

P.S. To say I'm excited to meet you would be an understatement
