My Best Friend :)

As I talked about in the last post, the people that God has placed in my life and the things that God has begun to do in the last months have truly blown me away.

One of them is my Best Friend Tyler. He is absolutely amazing inside and out. When I think of Tyler and our relationship I am blown away at how faithful God is. When you truly seek him and wait on his best, he will give you every desire of your heart and more. The things that God has blessed me with and trusted me with has surpassed every hope, every dream, every prayer and every tear I have cried!

Tyler brings out the absolute best in me and more! I have watched in amazement at his love and passion for God and his heart of compassion for people and children. I don't think I have ever met a young man who truly has a heart that beats and chases after the very heart of God!

Not only did I just spend the last 21 days fasting with my home church but me and Tyler were also fasting together for our relationship and future. Can I just say that it was the most amazing thing ever. To know that you have found someone that is willing to seek the very face of God with you and lay aside everything else is absolutely incredible. We have started our relationship on an amazing and Godly foundation. A foundation that will never be broken. Isaiah 28:16 is one of our scriptures that speaks about our relationship. It says " So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "See I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed." A cornerstone is the strongest pillar in a foundation, when I think of me and Tyler I think of a cornerstone, for we have a foundation that will never be broken but will be continually built up and strengthened in truth, purity, holiness and righteousness.

We have this connection that you can't always explain or understand but when you see us and you watch us you know that we have something different and something beautiful. Our friends watch us and see our relationship daily, they see that we are different they see the reflection of Christ in our actions, our heart and our daily lives. They see holiness, purity and righteousness in our relationship. I know and feel that me and Tyler will break the mold for what relationships are and should be! He has captured my heart in every way. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life, more than I can even contain at times. He is my better half and completes me. He is the greatest and best friend I could ever ask for or receive. Our dreams, hopes, prayers and desires go hand and hand with each other. I know that God has incredible and amazing things in store for us and our future. He is going to blow us out of the water. I am excited to know that my best friend will be walking hand and hand and side by side with me for the rest of our journeys through life! God you are truly forever faithful, thank you :)

There have been many moments... many long nights.... many long talks with my mama... many tears shed over my future husband. Not a day has gone by that I have not prayed for my future husband and continued to hold on to the promises, the hopes, the prayers and the desires in my heart that I had.... There were times it was hard, and moments I wondered if I would ever see the full desires of my heart come to past.... Well little did I know God's best was just around the corner, but just like with anything in life, God requires us to wait upon him patiently! To seek out his best for our life, to not falter to the left or to the right... to NOT SETTLE. to not give up, but to hold out and press on no matter how great the cost is, because in the end the reward is far greater than you could ever possibly begin to imagine.

When I was 18 years old, my brother gave me a journal, and in the journal he wrote a letter and said to me " Take this journal and use it. Talk to God with it. Write down your dreams, your visions, and your prayers, and watch them grow along with yourself. I am so proud of you and all you have done. Don't forget about God's faithfulness and don't ever settle for 2nd best. GO for God's best, for you..... you deserve it. I'm leaving with you the scripture that has carried me through college and life... I love you sis Jeremiah 29:11-13 and Psalms 139

below the letter he wrote this little song.... "For our times together, and for those far apart. Just remember you are always in my heart. In my thoughts, in my prayers, Hey I will take you any where's But take this book, hold it tight.... Speak to it day or night.... For you are my joy... you are my smile... You are my sister.. Who I love... - Joshua............

I share that to say that I took that journal and I wrote down every dream...every thought... every prayer.. I cried over it.. I prayed over it... and I waited for God's best. As I look back on my life and my journey's that God has placed me on. The places he has brought me through and the places I have been... I pause and I thank God everyday for his incredible and indescribable faithfulness! He truly blows me away. Every journey... every trial.. every hurt... every pain... has been worth it all. For it has shaped me... defined me... challenged me... changed me... and brought me to the place I am and the Godly Woman that I have become today!

I feel as if I am the happiest and most blessed girl alive. I could never ask for anything more. I have found my Best Friend... My Soul Mate.... and My Future.... There is not a day that goes by that I do not have a smile on my face and joy overflowing :) I am amazed and blown away at all that God is doing in and through my life!

These lyrics say it all:
Mama you taught me to do the right things
So now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life
And I know you watch me grow up and always want whats best for me
And I think I found the answer to your prayers

And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me

Mama theres no way you'll ever lose me
And giving me away is not goodbye
As you watch me walk down to my future, I hope tears of joy are in your eyes

Cuz he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me

And when I watch my little baby grow I'll only want whats best for her
And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
And that she'll say

He is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me

Mama dont you worry about me

Dont you worry about me
