He Waited For Me...

God is so amazing that my words can't possibly express His goodness.  He knows everything about me...my choices, my challenges, and yet He STILL holds me in the palm of His hand.  He has an expected end for me and will complete it to the day of Christ.  I'm in awe every day by His grace and mercy towards me.  He knows all...

I've been in relationship after relationship with people that just don't know how to love me.  I've experienced glimpses of love and affection, but nothing like what that of a man that has adored me since 1986.  We went to high school together and he was enamored with me since then.  Over the years, we've both had our share of failed relationships.  We both have yet to find the kind of love we both deserve.

Mark is incredible.  He's in the Army serving in Iraq right now, he working on his degree in HR management, and most importantly...he LOVES the Lord.  He loves the Lord!  That makes my heart sing just typing those words.  HE knows how to love me because he LOVES the Lord.  THAT'S the kind of man I desire. 

Someone who truly understands my relationship with Jesus Christ because he also has a relationship with Him.  He know how to treat me, how to handle me, and is a willing participant is a God centered relationship.  He makes me smile and now I'm ready for him.
It took 25 years, but God knew that we would be in this position.  Mark might have know too, but I'm here and ready for this kind of love.  He waited for me patiently, and I'm now ready.
