Hi all,And thank you all for your love, support, and prayers surrounding my earlier post. Steve, my boyfriend, came to visit this weekend and as a result, a lot of my concerns from my previous post have been relieved. Well, not totally erased, but I realize now what is important. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the man that God wants me to marry. So things won't be perfect, but if I expected perfection, I'd never get married! Steve is the best thing that has ever happened to me, truly a gift from God. I talked to him about my concerns, and he surprised me by having the same fears about his job and financial future. But he is trying. He really is! He got an apartment right around the corner from mine, and will be officially moving in in about 10 days. (Yes, I have the countdown going already! lol) He made great effort to find a job this weekend, and made a list of places he'd like to check out after he's officially moved in. He feels really good about one place, and I won't say more about it because I don't want to jinx it! God is providing. We believe that, and we will trust that. This is a scary time for both of us, but if we can stand being in a long distance relationship for 3 1/2 years (at one point going 7 months without seeing each other. not fun, let me tell you), then we should be able to handle most of the trials that are thrown our way.
The only problem is, is that I want to be married to him now! I feel like we've already been engaged for awhile, because we have been talking about it for awhile. We would be engaged already, too, except for the fact that both of our parents don't think we know each other well enough yet. And they may be right, but that doesn't change how we feel. I cannot wait to be his wife and spend the rest of my life with him! Thank you again for all of your advice and prayers!
