The past couple of weeks have been weird.
Why?
I have fallen in love.
(Yeah really.)
Deeply.
Passionately.
Worry-free.
Unexplainable.
Pure.
Captivating.
REAL.
Ele, Oh, Vee, Eee ( sound it out )
It keeps me up at night. I toss and turn just thinking about it. I lay awake smiling and patient. Waiting for the time when love comes full circle. It is a love sent from the heavens. Deep and true. Both simple and demanding of awe. It is more more beautiful than any words; this love.
Yet I keep it quiet.
Tucked away.
Because this love.
It’s the shhh… kind of love
The whisper in your ear kind of love.
Wanna know about my love?
I never thought It would happen to me.
For some reason the past couple of nights I cant sleep thinking about Africa.
It is like the first time I fell in love.
Fresh.
New.
Innocent.
I know deep in my heart now is not the time to go back.
(Something I was unsure I would ever feel the need to do.)
It took a LONG TIME for my heart to feel like this about Africa.
To be appreciative of every single detail of my previous trip.
I know deep in my heart of hearts I will go back.
I have to go back.
But for now I am going to tuck that love away.
Let it grow.
My heart is overflowing with love.
The Lord has been good in protecting me, saving me from compromise.
Starting over fresh feels good.
Psalms 26:3
for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
Psalms 31:16
Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

You are one of my best friends, and like a brother to me. I’m excited we get to serve together in the future, because I know it is imminent. You’ve got a huge heart, and I’m glad God is growing it my friend.

i hope i get to go one day.
i’m glad you’ve finally reached the point where you understand why you went last time, and why you were made to go back.
