April showers bring May flowers

Literally and figuratively. Although, I don't think Michigan realizes that it's May, and I feel like the rain isn't stopping and the weather is deciding to remain cold....blah. However, on a figurative note, I predict May to be an AMAZING month.

April was tough; there is no doubt about it. I shed many tears. I became extremely frustrated. I realized how scared I am of the future. However, all of these experiences and realizations were worth it because I grew so much in my relationship with Jesus.

Yesterday, I was surprised with beautiful flowers - gorgeous irises and white lilies, an absolutely delicious dinner at a place I've never been to, awesome frozen yogurt, and of course quality time with my special man. I love him, or at least am highly infatuated with him. ;-) He is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. He is the man I want to be there when I experience all the highs of life and all the lows of life. Most importantly, he is the man I want to always challenge me in my relationship with Jesus.

I hope he never stops dating me. I hope he never stops chasing after my heart. I hope he always surprises me. I hope he loves me more every passing day.

However, I've also realized that what I hope for in my relationship is how I should be with my relationship with God. I never want to stop chasing after His heart. I want to love Him more every passing day. My love relationship with God should be reflected in my love towards people, not just my family or the wonderful man in my life.

I am reminded of Jeremiah 29:13 - "You will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart."

I hope to earnestly seek after God for the rest of my days. I want to know His heart.
