It's been almost 3 weeks for me and Jorge together in Colombia, South Americas and we have already gone through so many emotions and adventures my head spins just thinking about it.
Tonight though, flush with love and straight out of a bible study from Songs of Solomon, I have to express my deep love for my husband and my appreciation that God choose us for each other. We were brought together by a miracles and evidence God's hand is in our lives shines bright as the morning sun. First of all we belong to God and that is such a gift to be called son or daughter by the King of Kings. When we marry though, we belong to our spouse, body, soul, mind completely. This can be a scary thought with the wrong person. With the right person, it's one of God's great gifts to us. All these years of struggle on my own, alone, are gone. I now have the most loving man in the world to share every up and every down with. When he wraps me up in his strong arms I feel safe, loved secure. Jorge has shown me such an unconditional, unselfish, giving love I think I now understand how much God loves me through Jorge's example of love. When people think of "one flesh" most think of sex, but it is so much more. It's two people joined to become one mind, one heart, one flesh acting to support one another and only acting in the best interest of each other. For example, I am not pretty sick. I get a horrible stuffy nose I have to blow to keep my head from exploding, I hack and cough like an 80 year old chain smoker, and I am cranky. A week into my arrival and I got the worst cold. Still have it to a less extreme. For most guys, the hacking and coughing all night would mean couch time so he could get some rest. Not Jorge, he stayed up with me, rubbed my back and chest with vicks vapor rub, made me tea, brought me spoonfuls of honey, and stayed with me till I'd finally nod off snoring away with my stuffy nose. Then he'd cuddle up against me to keep me warm, and fall asleep too. That's love.
I love you Jorge, completely. Thank you for showing me such uncompromising and all encompassing love. I can't wait for the next 3 months, 3 years, all my life with you.
