Discovered in Friendship: He Is

Written a few days after the last entry, this piece speaks of the excitement I felt in developing a promising and wholesome friendship with a really nice guy. Though my approach may have been faulty back then as someone meant to be pursing friendship, I am so grateful to be validated today. These words remind me of what I appreciate about my husband, things that I had really forgotten about…

Thank God for memoirs. Try creating yours. Just write or type out your feelings and thoughts on a day to day. You'll never know when your own words will minister to you.

Today as I gazed at DrAW!'s picture, I imagined being face to face with him...

We're still just friends, right? 'Cause it doesn't feel that way...It feels like something is happening here. I've handled it…without a care, [smiling] at the thought of him and enjoying our conversations…

He shares his understanding of the Word of God so passionately, so appealingly. I feel like i'm being taught brand new, like i've never heard these truths before. I feel spoken to as he addresses my own personal issues and I recognize areas of my life that need to be changed. Compelled to read the Word for a better application of what he's shared,...it's like he's pastoring me...

The way he speaks is refreshing. His voice is like an eloquent medley. It excites me when I have the privilege of hearing it. His chuckle is sooo cute!...He is pretty on-point. I think his smile is grand and it appears that he shows it alot. He seems to know how to appreciate the simple things. He can have a good time and be serious too...and his serous look is almost irresistible...

He seems to be enjoying the friendship just as much as I. Our daily interaction has been rewarding. And in a simple, non-threatening way, he said he wants me to visit home so that we can get to know each other better. He recognized his own fallacies and wants us to meet so that we can view each other realistically. That is responsible...but it brings me to wonder. What will it be like meeting for the first time? Will time stand still as our eyes lock from the distance, straight-faced and in awe, forgetting our surroundings? Haha! Don't I wish! Or will there be all care-free smiles and hugs, excitement in the air especially at the comfort and peace. That would be so much better. I'm smiling just thinking of it. Maybe we'll keep the wonder, awe, and eye locking for a time when we can spend real time together.

I hope i'm not faulty in my approach, though I know i've faltered in this way in the past. But I thought I should make note of how I feel now in the event that they are validated one day.
