My Love Letter

Dear You,

I have no idea who you are, where you come from, where you've been, or what you've gone through. I have never seen your face, sat in your presence, heard you speak, enjoyed the sound of your laughter, yet I know that you are the answer to one of my most intimate prayers, a silent missing beat in my heart, the ONE I was designed to walk this journey with. You are a pleasant thought that causes me to smile unexpectedly, a desire so powerful that I know that when we do finally meet my heart will beat rapidly. You are a prayer worth developing for, praying for, and most importantly waiting for. You are imperfectly you on a quest to be a living representation of Him.

You are my King.

When I was lost in the world, dead in my sin, alive in my lust and separated from our Father, Christ found me broken, dirty and afraid. Terrified that I was no longer worthy, worthy to someday be called your wife because I believed the LIE "he" whispered to me that I was no longer Daughter of the Most High, precious, holy, set apart, the apple of his eye.

Ashamed I hid.

For awhile I hid lost in the crevices of my mind, a victim to my pity, a prisoner in an open cage, a slave holding the key to my shackles.

I didn't understand the cost of my freedom, the depth of the sacrifice of Christ, the significance and power that lied in his resurrection. Yet through it all HE was patient with me. He loved me through my brokenness, nurtured me through my weakness, guarded me through my falls. In those moments grace and mercy embraced me, in those moments SURRENDER in its truest form became real to me....

CHRIST is my Savior.

I say all of this to make clear that my heart, soul, spirit and mind are no longer mine. They were bought at a HIGH price that could only be paid by Christ. To discover me you must know Him. I write this to you as a notification that my love for you is fueled by my love for Christ, the love that I continue to learn in this season of singleness. There is no compromise when it comes to the foundation of our love, because there is only one ROCK that I stand on. One that I know that you will push me closer to because....

You are my priest

As I patiently wait for you, guarding my heart because from it flows the springs of life (Proverbs 4:23), protecting my body because from it we'll carry the seed of our legacy, becoming a woman worthy of your trust, innovative, hardworking, resourceful, cloth in strength, grace, wisdom, and dignity, (Proverbs 31) a helpmeet in this partnership for the Kingdom know that I am overjoyed!!! for your life. For I was designed to be ONE flesh with you, to guard your heart as your rib, to share stories with you, to create memories with you, to guide little footprints in the sand. To share highs and lows, to be there in sickness and health. I am excited to discover and walk into this beautiful love story with you created by our Abba. Till then I continue to rest in His hand, picturing occasionally the face I've yet to see, the presence I've yet to feel, the laughter I've yet to hear, from the man I am growing to LOVE.

Prayerfully,
