I just want you to know that I pray for you daily. Even though I don’t know who or where you are, or if our paths have already crossed, I thank God for creating you for me. I also pray that I can be the wife, friend and support that you need. I hope our love will be one that inspires & that lasts a lifetime. While I’m excited for our future together, there is something else I think you should know.

When I fall in love, I’m all the way in. That may sound good to you, but the problem for me is that I lose myself. What this means for you is that I’ll need you not only to love me, but to remind me to love myself. Because of my past hurts, sometimes I expect to be disappointed, I’ve self-sabotaged to avoid being let down & it may feel like I’m not letting you in. I’m working hard to change that so I’ll need you to be patient with me. I really do believe you’re out there & I can’t wait to look into your eyes. But until then, I’ll be waiting patiently until God sends you my way.

If you haven’t already done this, I’d encourage any woman to write a letter to the man of your dreams. I actually wrote one that I plan to read on my wedding day. In it, I thanked God for the qualities of the person that I wanted and I asked God for strength, discernment & patience to be able to recognize him once he entered my life. It was almost like a “bucket list” of what I wanted in a partner. It’s dated, sealed & (while I didn’t have it notarized, I probably should have, lol) I vowed not to open it until the day of my wedding.

God used words to bring creation into being so that speaks to the power of our words. I believe in manifesting anything you want in life. Write it down & watch it manifest.
