I've fallen....

I've fallen in love.  Yep, you heard it.  I'm in love.  No, not with a guy but with THE guy.  God has shown me tonight what it feels like to love and be loved for the first time.  Once again, I'm not in love with someone, I'm in love with Him.  This may sound strange, but after watching The Bachelorette and secretly wishing that I had what Ali and Roberto have, I realized I already did.  God has swept me off of my feet.  He has shown me that I can be loved with my flaws.  He has shown me true passion and oh goodness, so many other things in ways I cannot describe.  In truth, I cried tonight just listening to how much God loves me.  Luckily, I had a friend introduce me to some songs that have shown me why I chose the path that I did in following what God wants for me and I cannot be happier.  Why did I not do this before?  Was I crazy?  I honestly just didn't know what true love was.  I cannot believe I waited 24 years to have the kind of love I always wanted when it was sitting right beyond the walls of my heart waiting for me to embrace it.  I've waited too long for this and I am so not letting it go.  I feel Him holding my heart in the palm of His strong, gentle hands.  I feel His arms wrapped around me so tightly as to never let me go.  I feel His love filling me up like an overflowing cup.  He is my husband, my father, my savior, my lover, my friend.  He is my protector.  He is my heart.
