The perfect date

Many of us start of the with the norm...." I want to walk on the beach, holding hands, as the sun sets and we are looking into eachother's eyes." 

But truthfully, the perfect date has nothing to do with where you go and everything to do with who you are with. I have been taken to amazing places, shown unforgettable things, but it all only has that special value when you are with the person you love. 

I have taken trips alone to Texas, Florida, Philadelphia, etc and they have been exhilarating, eye opening, and fantastic. But there is just something about being in the presence with the person who holds the key to your heart. Through all of the ups and downs life has thrown at me I am overwhelmed with how thankful I am to have such an amazing best friend, partner in crime, and love like Ben. He makes me feel beautiful on the inside and out.

Before even focusing on anything romantic, he just sees me unlike anyone else does.  It is amazing to see how God has truly melted both of our hearts through the past few years shaping into a love that I have never known was real.  All from God, so pure, I feel so blessed. My heart still beats out of my chest when I am with him.

In Christ, love starts with the spirit, enters into the mind, and the physical is just an extra means and blessing of outward expression in the language of love.  This is just the beginning, through prayer and time, I am excited to see what God has in store for us, what purpose being together holds, and all that has, is, and is to come!
