So, something incredibly exciting has recently happened in my life! I recently started dating a wonderful woman! Things just have fallen together so flawlessly in this past month or so that we've been talking, it's crazy to think about how radically my life has shifted within the past month and a half from where I was.
She and I met, went out on a date, and decided that we're giving this relationship thing a try. I cannot quite express the incredible cocktail of emotions that are bubbling up in my soul over-and-over in a thousand different ways, the best thing that I can express is quite simply this: peace. Every other relationship that I've ever tried to engage, I've found myself worrying, stressing, becoming anxious, wondering when time will "run out" before I'm left with a shattered heart once again. This one is so incredibly different. I don't worry about whether or not I'm attractive enough/ funny enough/ engaging enough with her, I just feel at peace whenever I think about her or am with her. It's ridiculous. This time it's been a complete trust in God, and finally, for once, I can legitimately say that I trust in everything that He is doing between us. We have handed ourselves over to His divine mercy, and we're trusting in Him.
I'm so at peace with her, I'm falling so incredibly hard for her. When I'm with her, I feel like I'm home. Jesus, we trust in You!
