Thinking Right Much of Thee

A few days ago I was in Niagara falls with two great friends. It was dark and cold and the lightest rain was coming down. We could barely see the falls. We walked and checked out all the Christmas lights still up. By the time the night was finished and we were back at the car we were soaking wet and freezing cold, but it was the most fun I've had in a long time.

On our walk we found the quietest spot you will ever find so close to the falls. It was serenity in its purest form. The three of us separated and found our own place. Our own serenity. As I was standing there, taking it all in, I thought "Someday I will bring you here."

I've had this thought before. I will bring you here. Who is this you you ask? You is my future husband.

Think about it. If God has planned for you to be married at some point in your life, your future spouse is alive. He's walking. He's sleeping. He's working. He's doing something. Doesn't that just blow your mind? It sure blew mine!

I just finished a book called When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy. Eric just threw it out there. Your future spouse is alive. What are they doing right now? And even more importantly, what are you doing right now? Is it something you would want to tell this person about? Is it extra baggage you'd like to take into your future marriage?

Crazy right? It blew my brains right out of my head. These little thoughts I've been having for years were really brought to life. And I'm not worried in the least about when he comes. Because I know (God willing) he will come.

I don’t believe we’ve met before
But then again, I guess I can’t be so sure
‘Cause maybe I passed you by
A hundred times today

If ever you might think of me
Know that I’ve been thinking right much of thee
And maybe I’m not in your eyes
But one day I, I will come

I count the stars alone each night
And wonder where you’re sleeping at this very time
I stroll the streets in daydreams of where our love might lead

And every February I will think of you
And practice writing valentines
‘Cause maybe I’m not in your eyes
But one day I, I will come

See what's the hurry? What's the point of being hasty?
Why waken love before it's time?
Why would I give my heart away to strangers?
Instead I'll just wait til you're mine.

I will come like a knight in Arthur’s day
I will sweep your heart away
And I’ll mean it when I say
You’re my one and only
And together we will fly
Sometimes through the blackest nights
Holding on tight for now and forever after

If ever you might think of me
Know that I’ve been thinking right much of thee
And maybe I’m not in your eyes
But one day I, I will come

Song of the Moment: I Will Come by Greg Sczebel (as seen above). I fell in love with this song the moment I first heard it. I can't describe what exactly this song means to me, but it has given me comfort and hope. It's beautiful. You should give it a listen.

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
