Speechless

A quick update about my Friday:

This morning was pretty dull. (I know that makes you want to read more, right???) We found out some news in the office but other than that, things were pretty much on the same monotony level as they usually are-BORING! While at lunch, I ran an errand and then went home to gather my stuff for my trip to Grandma's. Z & I texted while I was gone and as usual, he had me beaming from ear to ear. I'm telling ya, when you decide to wait on the Lord to send you the right one, you better get ready because when He does it, He does it RIGHT. So I get my things together and, running about 10 minutes late, make a quick tomato sandwich (which I've had every day for lunch this week and I LOVE) and head back to the office. As I'm coming in, a co-worker who's leaving for lunch says "I know something you don't know" and that scares me to death. I'm one of those people who imagines the worst possible thing that could happen so I'm anxious to get back in the office. When I walk through the door, I look at my desk and there they sit:

A dozen red roses.
My heart is pounding and I'm glistening (as we Southern girls do) and I read the card as everyone ooo's and ahhh's over them and it is the sweetest card with the perfect note from Z. I can't believe he sent me flowers-roses at that! I don't know what I did to deserve them but appreciate them so much. More importantly, I appreciate him-the way he treats me like a lady, respects me, wants to do for me, accepts me just as I am. Those of you who know me know I've never known a man like him who treats me the way I feel I should be but Z is definitely that man. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for having him in my life and though we took a huge risk even meeting each other, it's a risk I would gladly take again and again. Knowing him is worth it.

So I just wanted to share how blessed I am to have such a wonderful man in my life. Z proves that it's so worth it to wait for what God has destined for you. Sometimes He has to use incomprehensible ways to get it to you, but He will. And when He does, be ready to be overwhelmed!

Blessings to you all,

The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
