Faithfully yours...

Tonight I saw a shooting star 

Made me wonder where you are 
For years I have been dreaming of you 
And I wonder if you're thinking of me too 
In this world of cheap romance 
And love that only fades after the dance 
They say that I'm a fool to wait for something more 
How can I really love someone I've never seen before 
But I have longed for true love every day that I have lived 
And I know that real love is all about learning how to give 
So I pray that god will bring you to me 
And I pray you'll find me waiting faithfully 

Faithfully, I am yours 
From now until forever 
Faithfully, I will write 
Write you a love song with my life 
Cause this kind of loves worth waiting for 
No matter how long it takes I am yours 
Faithfully 

Tonight I saw two lovers kiss 
Reminded me of my own loneliness 
They say that I'm a fool to keep on praying for you 
How can I give up pleasure for a dream that won't come true 
But I will keep believing that god still has a plan 
And though I can't see you now, 
I know that he can 
And someday I will give you all of me 
Until I find you, I'll be waiting faithfully 

Faithfully, I am yours 
From now until forever 
Faithfully, I will write 
Write you a love song with my life 
Cause this kind of loves worth waiting for 
No matter how long it takes I am yours 
Faithfully

~ This song has been a favorite of mine since I first listened to it. The message that is spoken is true in my life; I do love my husband with all my heart! There is a wedding version (with slight lyric changes of course) that I would love played at my wedding. ~ 

Just some things to read...

A paragraph from "When God Writes Your Love Story"
written by Eric & Leslie Ludy.

I agreed so much with this that I posted it too.

Just seventeen words...

This is exactly the right thing to say when someone thinks you're crazy for being a single young woman..

When they wonder why you don't reach for every boy that walks by...

Gods plan for your future is going to be better than what you imagine...if you just trust him..

I know I do...and I can't wait to find out what he has been planning all along...

Waiting..for how long?

Waiting..it can be so hard for us humans. 

Waiting for the wonderful smelling cookies to be done, waiting to get out of school classes, waiting for the bus to come, waiting for the paint to dry, waiting for the clothes to dry. 

But, waiting sometimes gets hard (and boring), so sometimes we stop waiting.....and things get messy. 

The cookies come out of the oven under-baked or the clothes get easily wrinkled or we miss the end of class and don't get the homework assignment or we get paint all over our fingers. 

When I was 15 years old I made a promise to wait for something. But, this wasn't something that took ten minutes or even an hour...it could take years. The thought of having to wait that long, at that time, seemed impossible. 

I'm sitting here today still waiting. It hasn't been an easy wait at all, but I've gotten used to the idea that God will end the wait when he feels I'm ready. 

Curious about what I'm waiting for? My Knight (in shining armor)! 

I write him letters most nights and I pray for him throughout the day and I still wear the ring I got almost 5 years ago to remind me of what I'm waiting for. The moment I tell him those magical words on the altar and then sucumb to his long-awaited love. What a glorious day that will be!

Sometimes I tell God that it's too hard to wait any longer, but he always gives me the strenght to wait even more. 

So, for all of you. while you are waiting, just remember that God can help you continue in patience. 

Hebrews 6:15 : "And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised."
