Stay strong, sweetheart

My dear one,

Can it be that you are out there...
praying for me... 
hoping to find me... 
waiting patiently for the Lord's perfect timing?

I am here... 
praying for you... 
hoping to find you... 
striving to wait patiently for the Lord's perfect timing.

You look wistfully at the happy couples flaunting Facebook relationship status updates, engagement announcements, wedding photos, and you whisper a silent prayer for strength.

You are weary of getting your hopes up, only to have them dashed as you turn away in disappointment and frustration.

You are looking for a kind, compassionate woman who will encourage you, cherish you, build you up, speak grace into your life, stand beside you as you face the world.
 
Stay strong, sweetheart. I love you for this. One day all of our longings and tears will be replaced by smiles and kisses and sweet caresses.

All my love,
Me
