he loves me.

twins game :)

my boyfriend...wow. he is seriously the greatest man to ever walk this planet. i hope that every girl one day gets the chance to be loved the way i'm being loved right now. for the first time in my life, i'm in a relationship that is truly what God has created relationships to look like. and now that i'm here, i totally believe that waiting for this was completely worth it.

after getting out of a seriously deranged relationship last year, i read the book captivating by john & stasi elderedge. i learned all about what a God-centered relationship should really look like. i learned about how if my heart is after God, the right guy will be so captivated by me that he won't be able to help but pursue me. i learned that i'm not supposed to pursue, that i've been created to be doted on and treated like i'm something special. learning these things messed me up. in a wonderful way, of course. at the moment i found out all of this information, i did two things:

1. i made a pact w/myself & God that i would wait for the one He's created for me, for the one who would pursue me the way i deserved.
2. i vowed to share this information with the lovely ladies in my life who struggle from relationship to relationship, guy to guy, prospect to prospect.

and oh my...God is faithful! just a few short months after i honestly 'quit looking,' chad came out of nowhere and blew me off my feet. he pursues me. he dotes over me. he tells me i'm beautiful- every day. he points out the good in me. he makes me laugh. he treats me like i am worth the world to him. he is my best friend. he even prays with me. that is quality, my friends! i am blessed. i know my lovely girlfriends will be blessed, too, when the time is right. it's all in God's timing, which is hard for us to understand and to be patient with...but He is good and true, and He wants to bless us. He will!
