Ode to Love

Today is Valentines Day. On this day we celebrate the ones who love us and the ones we love. I remember being single and hating Valentines Day because I always felt like I would never find someone to celebrate it with. Truth is, I was jealous of everyone else. Looking back on those times, I find that I was very selfish. I hated when people got flowers at work and when someone would tell me about the romance that was in store for them. I couldn't be happy for anyone else while I was feeling completely sorry for myself. Now I know that all I had to do was wait(which is something I am not very good at). True love for me was right around the corner. I had to get my heart right first in order to find that love. I had to realize I was worth more. I had to realize what my passions were and more importantly who I really was on the inside. I had to face hard times in order to appreciate what I was given. I was looking for that unconditional love but the truth is I had unconditional love from God all along. I had to just open my eyes. When I truly began to trust in Him, he brought a new chapter to my life. Everything I had asked for was in Mike. I love him for all that he is and all that he can be. I love how his life was completely changed and he just rolled with it. I love how he looks at me like I mean everything to him and it makes me feel good to know that someone adores me like that. He encourages me in ways no one has ever done before. I love this love we have for each other. I love that the strength of it can't simply be broken. I love to be a part of this journey with him. I know that we will be together for a very long time and I am thankful that I am loved beyond measure. God is oh so good. I love you bunny!!
