My dearest husband,

Today is Valentine’s Day. Quite frankly I had a roller coaster of a morning today. I dropped off my little sister at school today and noticed so many kids with balloons, candy, flowers, bears, etc. I had to go to the grocery store this morning and was bombarded by even more of that as I entered. Then my little sister’s boyfriend ask me to help him do something Valentines related for her. It hurts, too, because someone I thought would constantly be around has stayed distant. I didn’t even get a “happy birthday” last week from them, which honestly made me sad, too. But this is all another story for another day when we’re finally together. Anyway, I felt rather lonely throughout this.

Yet, in the middle of my tears and loneliness, God was there. He still is as I write this. I was about to text my friend Sarina and just cry and rant to her and tell her to pray for me, but I didn’t actually do that. Instead, I felt it on my heart to just encourage other single girls on this day because God knows they might be feeling the same way I did. So I told the girls to rejoice because they are being pursued by Love Himself. I reminded them that God is the biggest romantic and does so much to show them He loves them. I encouraged them to have God and His love on their mind today because He has them on His mind. As I was sending it out, I was crying some more because I realized I had just told the girls what I wanted to hear. Then God does something so wonderful and uses my friend Liz to encourage me. This time I cried happy tears. 

Despite not having your love around, I have the love of my friends, family, and my Heavenly Father. God shows me day in and day out how much He loves me and cares for me. My family loves and takes good care of me, too. Plus I am surrounded by some wonderful girl friends. God is taking really great care until it’s time for us to be together. I don’t know how hard it has been for you being without me. Someday I’ll know, and you’ll also know how hard it’s been for me. I am thrilled to know one day we’ll finally be together on this day. Until then, I am praying God continues to cover and carry you wherever you go. Also, I’m going to continue to enjoy being single while it lasts. I can’t wait to tell you all about my adventures with God and hear yours, too!

See you soon, my love.
