he just knows how to love me!

My husband amazes me. Living with another amazing married couple has made me think about my relationship with my husband. All I can really say is I am blessed to have a husband like mine. Each day I wake up knowing that he is next to me and this gives me so much peace. He has really been my rock through this huge change. I was talking with Adams mom the other day and we where marvelling at the fact  that Adam is one of the most unique persons we both know. I told her I felt so honored that the Lord choose me to marry her son. We had a moment of tears at that fact. You see Adam and her prayed for me when he was a little boy. She taught him and he continued to pray for me, even to this day, but now he knows me :)
When I was about 13 years old I heard the song "Wait for me" by Rebecka St. James and began praying for my husband, that he would stay pure for me. I dated boys and began to believe the lie satin was telling me that there is no man out there that is "completely"pure. So I would give my self little by little to each boy I dated. Little did I know my husband would wait, would save even his lips for mine. On Adam and my first date we put EVERYTHING out on that dinner table at the Elephant Bar, our favorite color, our relationship with our families, our relationship with the Lord, etc. The last question he had for me was, how far have you gone sexually? I was stunned that he would ask this so quickly, but I chose to be honest and told him all that I had done. I finished with " I regret all that I have chosen that is not pleasing to the Lord, BUT I know that I am forgiven and it is not apart of me any longer. I am pure in His eyes, so I am pure." Then I asked him.... "Dirty dancing and spooning" he said.               "Wait....... what?...?... You have never even kissed a girl???" He told me how he chose to wait for his wife, and that he would kiss the girl he said I love you to. I just couldn't even believe it. I thought to myself well I probably won't see him after this date. But then he called me again a few days later. He told me about how it was really hard for him at first knowing that I had made some mistakes that would effect him now, "but" he said "after praying about it. The Lord really gave me His eyes for you and like you said your 'pure in His eyes, so your pure.' About a week later he asked me to be his girl friend and of course I said yes. It was so hard for me to believe that the Lord would actually answer my small prayers when I was 13 and give me a "completely" pure man. This is how it is meant to be! Adam waited for me the same way the Lord is waiting for us, so patient! Adam loved me before he even knew me.
Adam not only did that to express his love to me then and now but now in our married life he shows me his love all the time without even knowing it. He just knows how to love me. He speaks to my love language DAILY, speaking words of affirmation to me. Telling me I am beautiful, wonderful, so good to him, that I work so hard, etc.  He is working so hard in school to someday be able to provide for our family. He tries his very best to please me all the time. He is sensitive to me and my feelings. He loves to hold me. He watches me dance my heart out. (Any of you that know me, know that I need this :)) My heart beams when he looks at me. He knows just how to make me laugh. He can speak straight to my heart. He knows just what to say and when to say it. He pushes me to be more, do more, and be better than even I think I can. He believes in me more than I believe in myself. He is so honest, so honest. He treats me like a daughter of God, a princess of the King. He really knows me better than I know me most of the time. I could go forever. He will someday be an amazing father to our children and an amazing grandfather to our grandchildren. I just know he will the the type of father and grandfather that they will want to be just like, and that they will look to with respect. And best of all he loves the Lord oh so much more than he loves me. I know that's why he can love me so well. And that is why I give thanks to You oh Lord. I marvel at your creation that you chose to give to me to enjoy and spend my life with. I'm lucky.... blessed!
So girls and boys, don't you settle because the world and satin are telling you that there are no more pure people left in the world, that there are no more good people. Save yourself and pray for your husbands and husbands for your wives. If you have given yourself, chose to love your beloved even now. The Lord will bring you exactly what you need all wrapped up in human skin. You have the choice for yourself and the Lord will chose someone perfect for you!
