In a time in my life, when I had all but given up hope for finding someone with similar core values, our separate paths merged into one we would forever walk together.

We had met before, due to a potential match-making situation. Haha. But it would be several years after that before the Lord would cross.. 𝘕𝘰, 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘦.. our paths for good.

My husband and I have recently had this conversation and talked about how, if we had tried dating at that time, we most likely wouldn’t have stayed together because we were both very immature and selfish. We were in our early twenties though.. So, is anyone actually shocked here?

We both had some hard life lessons to learn. And I believe, during that time, one of the main things 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝘪𝘴.

This man makes me laugh hard (and roll my eyes equally as hard at him sometimes).. But he has given my heart a soft place to land and a place to call home.

I am beyond thankful that God saw fit to bring us together, when He did, because it was at just the right time in both of our lives!

If you’re in a broken place in your love life, seek to love God first. Love yourself next. And when it is the right time, the Lord will send you the one He created just for you.
