Dear Future Wife. It's been a while since I last penned something for you; something straight from the heart but filtered through the lens of my mind and idiosyncrasies. I was thinking today about the kind of person I want to be. Reflecting on the journey I have been on and the lessons I am still learning. Life is pretty interesting. It's in phases and seasons, it would appear. And every season is supposed to qualify and prepare me for the subsequent one. But it seems like I am never fully getting the hang of this thing called life. For instance: By the time I learnt how to be a teenager, my teenage years were already in my review mirror; and by the time I was wrapping my mind around the reality of navigating life in my twenties, I was already nearing the threshold of my thirties. It would appear that I am never arriving; I am always in pursuit of what's next. Perhaps I need to learn the art of being present in the moment without losing sight of my goals and aspirations. Maybe I need to ask the Lord to help me qualify what counts as a worthy goal and/or aspirations. Perhaps I need to learn to contextualize progress to the definition of my life and the unfolding seasons that it encompasses. If only I can reclaim the promise of my youth and make the most of my life! If only I can be willing to embrace the gift of disillusionment. The present gift that shows us that sometimes, to reclaim the original intent and promise of our lives, we have to be willing to let go of the way we assumed they would go. That we have to be ruined for the ordinary and open to better; even if that doesn't exactly resemble what we may have initially had in mind. Oh, how time flies; how it soars! I have to make this moment count, for life is but the sum of countless moments. As I look forward to the time that we will get to share and the life we will build together, I pray that the same Jesus that is hard at work on my character continues to shape you into the kind of woman that your future requires. That my presence in the picture of your life will be a beautiful addition to the tapestry of your existence and reecho what God has been saying to you all along. That you are loved!                   Yours in waiting....
