A letter entry to my future love.

"Let me get to myself first, so I can get to you." - Avy Silva

I don't want my heart to be crushed several times before it reaches you. So, for the time being, let me bloom first in my own season until the day of your arrival. Then, perhaps, in front of a crowd of witnesses, I'll be able to proudly declare, "I have faithfully waited for you, my gracey."

As we enter the new year of 2022, I'd want to dedicate a series of letters to someone I haven't met, yet.

I used to write letters to my future love when God introduced this desire in my heart to have a God-centered family someday -- this is basically when I began my journey with the Lord in 2015. Every year, I also keep a journal for him. However, they were no where to be found, if I didn't lose, it was because I unintentionally quit -- the world we live in had fooled me twice, making me believe that I had finally found "the one". That brokenness snatched my heart and dragged me to the field of hopelessness. Yes, I have become a hopeless romantic, which causes me to look for love in the wrong places.

But this year, I'd like to return to the very heart of Jesus. Instead of looking for love in every person I meet, I'd merely pray for my heart and, unspecifically, for my future husband. For whoever and whatever position we are in at the moment God chooses to cross our paths, we would be happy that we placed our complete trust in the Maker of the best love stories ever written.

#lettersforyou are letters I wrote for God's best for me so that when we meet, we can look back and see that throughout my season of waiting, God never left my side and patiently intervining on my behalf while I go through my singleness. I don't want this to be just my narrative, or mine and my person's story, but a story about the three of us, about how a God who is very mindful brought grace and mercy into my life in a human form. 🙂
