My thoughts on L-O-V-E!

Here are my thoughts on L-O-V-E!
It's not about how often you talk on the phone throughout the day, its about what is said. It's not about the hugs and kisses but rather that look that says "You mean the world to me." It's not about the expensive gifts you get but rather the gifts that show his true feelings for you! It's not how much time you spend together but rather how you feel when you're apart. It's not about how often you say "I love you" or "I miss you", but about the butterflies in your stomach when you hear the words spoken.
It's not about how much he has to offer you but about the fact that you know he would give you the world if he could.
It's about the chills that he sends down your spine with just the thought of him.

I have been on an unexpected journey for quite some time now...but in the last few months I have learned something special about L-O-V-E! I love the lessons God gives...
The funny thing is that years ago I was adamant that I would never marry and I meant it. But God...intervened and changed that! Now I can say I am happily married....THANK YOU LORD!
In the last few months...I have fallen more in Love with my husband--more than I could have ever expected.. Everyone told me that our new journey would bring us closer. But I didn't realize how right they were. It's beautiful how God takes a marriage and blesses it, shows His own love through it, and teaches us to be self-less. I understand marriage a little more everyday...and I would not change a moment of it! Love is a wonderful thing...it gives us fearless strength and endless hope to continue to reach new levels and heights in this life. I couldn't ever imagine my life without my husband. I don't believe that there is only one person out there for everyone, but I do believe that my husband is perfect for me! I needed him to encourage me, to push me, to give me confidence to accomplish my dreams and most of all to love me.
