..LOVE

For the first time ever, I said "I Love You[too]" to the man of my dreams. 

I have no idea how I got to be so lucky [blessed] with him. I honestly and without a doubt, know that God brought Matthew to me after many many many... many prayers. We fit together perfectly like two perfect puzzle pieces.

I've never been so loved and cared for. I feel like I am ALWAY being spoiled and looked after. It is by the far the best feeling I have ever had. I can't share everything that we talk about and the things he says because they are MINE and they are special to me- but goodness, you should hear this guy talk to me. It would make any girl completely melt.

He is my Knight in shining armor 100%

His love is different- It's not just enamored attraction type love- 

It's not puppy love

It's not goofy slap happy love..

It's the Love of Christ beaming from his eyes and from his heart. He understand exactly how Christ wants us to love one another in this way. He loves me like Christ loves His people and His bride. He respects me and appreciates me for ME. He doesn't want to change me but rather embrace me for who God has made me to be. He makes me want to be a better person however. He is one of the godliest men I have ever had the privilege to know. I feel so very special when I am with him- not a "yay I have a boyfriend" type of special- but rather a.. " I finally feel safe and secure and not lonely-loved and appreciated-accepted and adored" type special.

Alongside God, he is helping to heal my heart. God is showing me how to love but Matthew is trustworthy enough to test it out.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.
