Every now and again I read such an encouraging thing about “Every Day”’ stuff that I just want to post it on Christianity Every Day. This testimony is from my dear friend Elena. She and her husband are fellow believers and my heart is always warmed by their relationship. Elena gave me permission to share this with you.
13 years ago today, it was Easter Sunday, I spent the day in the ER with the worst allergy attack I’d ever had. I left there and headed to my parents. I was miserable, tired and looked like a hot mess.That same evening this guy who’d I hung out with on a couple double “almost blind” dates called and asked if I wanted to hang out. I insisted I wasn’t good company, but he said he didn’t mind he just wanted to hang out anyway. That night, and many more to follow, we sat face to face on my couch and talked for well into 8 hours. We talked about everything and anything. Just talked. But I knew, that very first night, this man was my soul mate. He had a kind face, spontaneous nature, hard working mentality, was shy but bold enough to ask ME out and he had this sexiness about him that I couldn’t kick.I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend, eww, no! I was done with relationships and commitment failures. I was tired of the games and time investment…BUT this guy, he was making me rethink my entire life. And the life of my daughter.Fast forward 13 years and he still makes me laugh, his face is my favorite in the entire world, and his touch, kisses and hugs heal my entire life of baggage and damage. I’m not broken with him. I’m not under a microscope. I’m not too fat, too ugly or too imperfect. But instead, I’m exactly who this man loves. And I love him. Wholeheartedly from the day I sat across from him on the couch in complete awe that there was a such thing as a knight in shining armor.Every – Single – Day I thank God for this man. He makes me a better person, he makes me want to be a better wife, a better mother. He doesn’t insist on calming the raging energy that flows into my passions and he doesn’t try to stifle my creative nature. He lets me be me, but encourages the best out of me.I’m absolutely & undoubtedly confident in saying I’m in love with the one man God made just for me. And me for him. Happiest 13 years of my life. And I pray we have many more lucky 13s under our belts!! I love youTimothy! With my whole being
