The Sweetest Thing

Its a little after 1 am, Friday morning and I just finished watching "Spanglish" with my cousin Cyrus (interesting movie) and I absolutely had to put something on my blog that happened earlier this week.

Last weekend my girlfriend went on a retreat where she got to meet the people who she would be working with over the summer (a choir ministry team). It just so happens that at the retreat she met a girl who to go to The Master's College. She asked her if she knew me, but of course...she did not. haha. Anyways, the girl knows Annie (a friend of Rebecca's who also goes to Point Loma), and Annie happens to have the exact same type of car that I have, color and all. So Rebecca asked her if she could look for my car on Tuesday and place it on my car before my class ended at 1235. This wouldn't be a problem because I park in front of the biblical studies center and it is a small parking lot.

So Rebecca tells me to be anticipating a note from her once I get out of my class on Tuesday. So I leave my class and look out across the parking lot and notice a white piece of paper on the windshield of my car....along with a couple of roses. I got the biggest smile on my face and walked quickly to the car to retrieve the goodies. I placed the roses in the car and as I was about to open the letter I noticed Rebecca walking towards me. That's right! She actually drove three hours to visit me for the day! When I saw her...I didn't believe it was her. I couldn't believe it! It was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. And it gets even better. She packed a picnic! So we ended up having a picnic in this nice residential area (hehehe) right next to a beautiful pond with ducks swimming in it. It was sooo amazing. She did this...all for me.

Now I know me saying this would be considered the classic "mushy", "sappy" stuff that everyone says when they are dating someone, but I am going to say it and I am not going to spend time defending it! First off...I don't deserve her. I really REALLY, don't (what can I say? She's great!). But that doesn't change the fact of how much I treasure her heart and cherish the bond that we are sharing.

She is so wonderful and so amazing and I am really frustrated that for the past two weeks my vocabulary is restricted by those two words. They don't express what I know about her and what I feel for her. How can I make the reader of this blog understand what kind of woman she is? Does it matter? Yes it does! In everyones life, there are people so sweet, so special, so genuine, that we are severely and deeply changed by them. It is because of those individuals that we are molded into the people we are. Therefore, we can't help but share to others about these beloved people in our lives.

So much of the good that is in me is there because of her influence in my life. She has taught me many things and has been a faithful example when I needed one. And now God has blessed me by allowing me to be in a unique part of her life that I have desired for so long. I am so excited to see where our journey together brings us too.

I do miss her constantly, but whenever I am lonely, I just think of her special smile and I can't help but simply.....smile back.

yes yes, its all sappy. But you know what? Its all golden.

Peace!
