My mind was on overload- it was like every emotion and thought and feeling wanted to be a part of this moment. I was overcome with a joy that I never felt before on account of an earthly circumstance- but then again this wasn’t earthly, this was heavenly appointed, I know that moment in time was divinely set into my destiny to be the moment I found my future in those eyes. Those deep, piercing, eyes that with one glance gave me hope for renewal and softly comforted me.

After the joy swept through me there came sadness- mourning for the days gone by without him. The past now seemed forgettable. Soon though reassurance took its course and reminded me that every past day, past hurt, past tears, past smiles and laughs, past joys, and past woes in actuality now had a purpose: they created the path that led me to him. Every past regret and painful experience suddenly became bearable even treasured if they led to him.
