My wonderful family comforted me tonight. They stood around me, holding me, crying with me, praying with me and for me. We praised. We worshipped. I let loose. I'm so grateful to God for lifting up a standard in my time of crisis. He knows what He is doing. I'm so grateful for the people He has placed nearby. He wrapped me in so many loving arms tonight. I will not forget to speak life over myself and my child. I will not allow shame to silence me. You will get the glory. I will continue to pursue you and with more zeal than ever before. Forgive me for doubting even in the least. You are bigger than I've made you. Thank you. Lord. I love you.

To My Dear Future Husband, You are someone who values me. I see you as someone who is particular for good reason. I see you as someone who says what he means and I feel like you are stable minded and consistent. You have no idea how I’ve prayed for someone with your characteristics to come in to my life. I am drawn to you and you to me. You’re intuitive. We're alike in that way. At times that makes me feel vulnerable because I want to be strong in your eyes but you ensure I'm not weak and you praise me for all the good. Even when I’m smiling on the outside you can read right through me. You know exactly when I need a special touch of comfort. You prove to me beyond surface level flattery that you’re near, that your love is intentional and reaches further than I imagine. You pray for me. We pray together. We worship together. We serve together. You know the perfect amount of space to give and take.  I feel like I’m looking in the mirror and I see you and we are perfect for
