I am so blessed

It's been about a month since Titus and I have officially been dating. And it has been an absolutely amazing month. Every day, I am more impressed with him than I was the day before. Every conversation confirms what others saw long before I did. This man loves God with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength; and he loves others as he loves himself.

We met through E-Harmony last August. By mid-september we were communicating regularly and talking on the phone several times a week. Then in mid-october Titus made his first trip to Colorado. I knew immediately that we would get along. But I wasn't interested in anything other than friendship at first. Titus had a very difficult 2008. His wife of 10 years left him and his world was turned upside down as he realized that the divorce was a reality and he would only be able to see his children five days a month. I was cautious, but after five months prayer, friendship and faithful pursuing on his part, I realized this man really was ready to move on. He is the most impressive man I have ever met. His heart is humbled before God in a way I have rarely seen before. God has brought him through a most difficult experience and he is a better man for it.

Our future together excites me. I cannot wait to meet his children and see him interact with them as only a father can. There are very big logisitcal issues that have to be resolved as we work to discover where our future is going to lead us, but we know the God we serve is bigger than any of out obstacles.

As part of our Rebuilding series at church, Ryan spoke a few weeks ago. He talked about overcoming obstacles in our lives. Titus and I can both relate to that in our lives the past couple of years. And God has brought us through. Ryan asked the question, "Which is bigger? Your God or your obstacle? Your faith or the situation?" Titus and I both believe in a God who is bigger than any obstacle we may face. He has brought us this far together and we are confident He will work out all the details that are yet to come.

I am so blessed. I have a God who loves me beyond comprehension and a man He gave me to care for me on this earth. I have a family who supports me in every thing, every day. A church full of people who care for me. And a group of girlfriends who are my biggest cheerleaders in my life. What more could I ask for?
