Kevin and I have been enjoying a beautiful vacation so far, funny things have come up, lots of rany days, roars of laughter, long tearful hugs, songs in bed, songs before a birthday-party crowd, and a song in our hearts that draws a great big smile on our faces. But before he came, as I was busying myself with finishing my second year of college, I heared His words clearly:
"All this waiting, isn't waiting, it's training so that you can look into each other's eyes and say 'I love you' in even the hardest of times."
I thought what I've thought many times, but what I had temporarily forgotten: "It IS strengthening our love for each other!" There was silence, the silence of yes, a loving Person's nodding silence. I ran upstairs to write these words while I repeated them in my head as to not forget.
I don't want to forget. I want to embrace it. Every moment! Right now when I'm with him and when I'm not. Because when we're apart, we're both taking care of what God wants us to do at the time, in different places, different things and with different people. And when we're together, nothing is more right and I know that he's the man I want (and will) spend the rest of my life and eternity with.
