Romance me.

As I write this, I am listening to the beautiful music of Michael Buble.. If ever you are in a romantic mood, or want to create a romantic mood, Mr. Buble knows how to get it done!

Over the years I've experienced that bubbly feeling that goes with a new crush, a new love interest. I've had the satisfaction of being pursued. I've been heartbroken. I've laughed. I've cried. Laughed some more. Thought a lot. Cried some more. Thought a lot more. I've prayed. I've read. I've prayed.
I've always had a 'picture' of my perfect guy (as most girls do..) Over the years, and a lot over the past year, I've thought a lot about the kind of guy I want to be with, who I want to marry, spend the rest of my life with, the qualities I want, the qualities I NEED.

We all (or at least the majority of us) like being liked. We love being loved. We want that special someone who thinks the world of us, that someone who gives us goosebumps and butterflies. Someone who will care for us, love us unconditionally. Someone we can be real with, have fun with, cry with. More than a 'significant other', someone who is also a companion, a best friend. The one we can connect with, the one who knows everything about us.

Women. We like being pursued. We like being told we're beautiful. Women, you know what I mean... whether you show it or not, when someone earnestly tells you that you look beautiful today, how does it make you feel? (especially on one of those woke up late, didn't shower, no makeup, haven't done laundry in a week so i'm gonna have to wear sweats days.) This is how we are, how we were made to be.

I'm excited to announce with the blogging world that... I have found my True Love. my Prince. He's perfect. He's compassionate. He's wild. He's gorgeous. He loves me for me. He loves me when I'm in a bad mood. He loves me when I'm angry. He holds me when I'm sad. He helps me when I'm sick. He tells me I'm beautiful when I look my worst. He's an artist. He's honest. He's encouraging. He makes me confident. He loves children. He always has time for me. He lets me talk to Him all the time. He's completely giving and unselfish. He's not controlling. We even dance together! He's absolutely perfect....

He's planning our wedding.

He's preparing a home for us.



He's God.



That's right.... I'm in love.

I'm being romanced. My Bridegroom is romancing me. Our kisses: sunsets, beautiful landscapes. Our romantic music: the ocean breeze, the birds chirping.

And I'm not scared. I don't fear rejection. I know that this One is gonna love me forever. I know He isn't going to leave me for something more exciting. He LOVES me!! He is deeply passionate for me. It's the real deal. I'm captivated in love.

"The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete."
John 3:29

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."
Jeremiah 31:3

"How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves."
"You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes..."
Song of Songs 1:15, 4:9

"He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

"Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her."
"In that day," declares the LORD, "you will call me 'my husband'; you will no longer call me 'my master'."
"I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion."
Hosea 2:14,16,19

¹"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. ²Five of them were foolish and five were wise. ³The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. ⁴The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. ⁵The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. ⁶"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' ⁷"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. ⁸The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' ⁹" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' ¹⁰"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
Matthew 25:1-10
