Letter from Kevin

Shi, embrace the moments. I am easily distracted; if I am not careful I will miss the blessing and joy of a happy moment worrying about other stuff. I have struggled most of my life with incorrect focus. Now, I fight to be in the moment.

You don't know the heart of the "T-Rex," only God does, so praise God for the present break up. Listen, trust the Love of Jesus enough to know that your Husband will not only be hand picked by God, but will not be allowed to marry you before the right time. As a child of God you must embrace the process that God takes you through as much as the end result. If you follow God exactly to this point then praise God and celebrate the breakup.

God will either bring the two of you back together or begin a deeper process of preparation for marriage for both of you to someone else. Shi, it’s easier for me to say than for you to hear because I am not emotionally experiencing this process like you are, but it doesn't make this any less true. Remind your flesh daily that your God loves you, and that He will not allow just anyone to marry you because you live each day surrendered to His will.

Shi rejoice in knowing that if God wanted you to be married to the T-Rex, and He believed that the two of you were truly ready for the type of amazing intimacy and respect and passion that your marriage is destined to have, that you would already be married. Knowing God's future plans for you (remember David) is the same thing as waiting patiently for God's timing (remember King Saul).

Here is a simple thing to remember: find the joy in today and embrace it, go beyond that, fight for it. Find the joy and be available to God; in ministering to others, in eating an endless supply of FRUIT :)

The devil wants you saddened by a "possible" future event when God wants you embracing his blessings today.

-Kevin
