To "you"

Dear One,
The one my heart longs for. The one I long to love with love that is overflowing from me. The one I want to share life with, even when life sucks. To the one that will hold me and wipe my tears even if you don't say anything at all. You, the one I want to hold my hand and tell the world that you belong to me and that I love you. I have been striving with all that I have to honor you ALL the days of my life, even if I don't know you. I pray for you everyday. I pray that you know my king the way that I know Him. So that one day we can serve Him together. I pray that somehow in the mess of my life and this world, I will find you and that my heart will be pure so that I can give you the best. I want to give you only the best. I have days that I just cry because I want to know you so bad. I want to love. I want to walk next to you through whatever you are going through. I want to be a part of another family and I want so much for you to know mine. They are amazing. And I know they will love you. My sisters, my mom and close friends have been praying for you too! People often tell me you're almost here. Do I know you? I want to know the end of the story, probably as much as you do.
I can't wait until the day that you get on your knee and ask me to be your wife. And the day when I get to walk down the aisle in white to be your bride. I can't wait to see the look on your face when the doors open and my Dad walks me down the aisle to give me away to you. He will trust you because I will love and trust you. I can't wait to have kids with you one day. And face all the challenges that might bring. The joy and the tears. I want to raise them to love and know the Lord just like my parents have raised me. I want us to look at them and remember that they are a gift from God and he has blessed us with eachother and them.
I am excited to support you in all you do and for you to do the same for me. I can't wait for all my dance girls to know you. If you want to make me smile, you can act like you are interested in dance even if you are not. I can't wait for the simple things in life :Like watching a movie together on a friday night. And telling you that I love you before I go to sleep at night. I can't wait to cook dinner for you and clean up after you. I want to take you to Nicaragua. I can't wait to see where and how God works in our lives. I can't wait to wake up every morning and CHOOSE to love you.
Today, like many days few and far between my heart longs to be with you. I have tears streaming down my face. I have to trust that our God only wants what is best for us and He is still working. I don't know how long or far you are from me...but I am ready to be with you.

Well put sis. The waiting is so hard at times but He is still good in these times. Here and now is what will give us the desire to keep loving on the hard days and through the tough years. Isaiah says "strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord." Let's wait and see what the Lord does.... :)
