My one true love...is my Master, Savior and Redeemer. As long as I can remember I've had a spot in my heart for Him, a desire to listen, learn, and grow in Him. Through the principles, doctrines, and application of His teachings I have learned to begin this journey in mortality. He has taught me to be a seeker of truth, a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a princess, and now the path of a future queen.
For many years when seeking for my eternal companion I've been impressed to wait and prepare... After years of waiting and doing my best to endure single life well; I've found my other half. He is named after the righteous King Benjamin, in the Book of Mormon. He holds true to this in wisdom, service, and charity. In August a previous engagement was broken off and I was in a place of humility and desire to do whatever it took to find my best friend forever, whom I'd been previously promised. Three weeks later I went to a Relief Society and Elders Quorum game party. He walked me to my car that night and got my number...since that evening my life has changed in ways I know, even now, I don't entirely comprehend. He is literally my other half...if we were two puzzle pieces he would fit every wit, he completes me in every way, the yin to my yang.
This morning as I rolled into my day I thought of how long I've waited for him to come into my life...all the experiences I have taken part of to allow me the appreciation, deep devotion, and unconditional love I feel for him...for us. We are going to make it through anything and everything! He's my hero...I love listening to his views, hearing his hopes and delighted by his dreams. This world fades away as I connect with his gaze and see glimpses into the eternities. All of these emotional extremes help me see His arm...the Lords hand has continually been stretched out still...
All of life's challenges, break-ups, heart-aches, and soul stretching has brought me to this point and ultimately to him, my buddy Benjamin. A few years ago, I had a mentor teach me through a love poem he had written. Once I find my true love: sleep, eating, working, and any time away from my sweetheart would be a burden. He was right...I wake up and want to be with him, I work with children and long to be with our little Bens and Sarahs, I cook for him, I shop for him, I live for me to be in love with him...I always thought love was almost some imaginative fleeting feeling. No-I've never been more Wrong! Real and unconditional love is living to serve your partner and all those that mean anything to each of you: your families, your kids, your duties, you become each other's everything and you will do just that...everything for love...the power of this and all Creation...Love is God and God is Love.
