going back to the archives for this post. I originally wrote this in my last journal. it is dated September 19, 2016. two years ago, I decided to write a letter, to some guy, that I don't even know, that only God knows about. I rarely post anything from my personal journal, unless I really think I should share it. and when I started this blogging journey when I was in my early 20s ... now in my early 30s, my aim has always been the same ... bring hope and encouragement to those that choose to read. to let them know, you're not alone on this journey. maybe this will encourage someone. I don't know. it's one of my shortest posts, enjoy .... "Dear Future Husband ..."
I have waited my whole life for you. I haven't always waited patiently, but here I am. I've re-examined my life many times, thinking I must be the ONLY girl on the planet who didn't know what a first kiss felt like. The way I would imagine my stomach fill with butterflies at the sound of my name from a significant other. Or the warm happiness that I'd feel when you would hold my hand and hug me tight. I was always so sad when I realized none of those things happened for me. But now, as I am moving into the decade of 30! I can see, that God wasn't withholding any good thing from me. He was keeping me in hiding for when you would come along. At just the right time. The only man to know every area of my heart. The only man I'd ever fall madly in love with. The only man to have ALL of who I am. I'm so glad God had me wait for you. I can't wait to share my story with others and have the great opportunity to say "There was only one." I've loved you and prayed for you ... sometimes with tears, sometimes with great joy. I can't wait to meet you. And let you have ALL of my firsts.
Love,
Dear Future Wife
