Falling in love...

     Okay so you saw the title above and are probably thinking okay let's see how cheesy this can get. But I'm not going for cheesy here, I'm going for real life no sugarcoating needed. For most of my life I was single, okay who am I kidding I was single for 19 years. Now being single for 19 years came with yes some loneliness but it also came with time for God to prepare my heart for the next guy to enter my life that was going to be more than just a friend. So after high school and entering into college I told myself that I was done with boys for a long time and that I was just going to focus on me. So for my freshman year of college I saw boys here and there that I thought were cute but I didn't act on it because remember I said I was done with boys:) So my freshman year was okay. Then flash forward into my sophomore year it was like my whole life took a 360. Into the start of my sophmore year I decided to try out this campus ministry for UCF called Wesley that I had heard about from my pastor. Now keep in mind I had in my head while I was attending this ministry and still am that I was done with boys. But women we all know God and we all know that he has an extraordinary plan for our lives that is different than our own plans. So after going to Wesley for a few weeks I had become friends with this guy named Thomas and I thought he was a little on the nerdy side but he had an amazing sense of humor. As I kept going to Wesley and kept hanging out with Thomas I had realized that I had developed a crush on him and I'm not talking little crush, I'm talking think about them 24/7 and feel your heart skip a beat when your with them that's the crush I'm talking about. So, now before I just rushed into everything and telling him how I felt I prayed. I prayed for days and weeks asking God what I should do and what was my purpose for Thomas, was it to just be his friend or was it to be something more? So after I prayed and prayed God told me to just be there for Thomas and that he would take care of the rest. After being friends for a few months I decided to tell him how I felt and trust God in the moment because I knew that he put Thomas in my life for a reason. So it was in December 2013 that I told him I liked him and he told me he liked me back. Now I'm really trying not to be cheesy here but it was basically the best day of my life!!! Now it's 4 months and 19 days later and it has been amazing. I thought I knew what falling in love felt like but I had no idea and now I do. Falling in love isn't just rainbows and unicorns and the best days of your life. Falling in love is having someone there by your side whether you are having the best day ever or your bawling your eyes out. Falling in love is doing stupid and weird things together. Falling in love is being open and honest and never giving up on each other no matter what. But most of all falling in love is letting someone see the deepest parts of you and knowing that no matter what they are not going anywhere.<3
