Prayers

Last night, I had an interesting experience. Aimee finds out today if she gets her dream job! We are both on edge and excited but nervous.... We have our fingers crossed! We understand that if it doesn't happen, that it is the Lords will. He is watching over us, and will do what is best! One thing that I loved was Aimee said something that melted my heart. She said "we need this." Now, I will say I have come close to marriage before, yet, I never felt a sense of 'us' in the relationship. A sense that the actions of one effect the other. I mean, obviously if one cheated on the other, it would! However, I mean more along the lines of fiscally, and planning, and things like that. I have never felt that a relationship with another was really a unit of one. I never realized this had occurred. Sometimes you don't realize things till you have the contrast. I thought I was connected before, yet with Aimee, I have a strong sense of connection I have never felt before. And she makes me feel that way. And it blows me away.

I came to this full realization last night while praying. I was saying my prayers as usual, and I was putting thought into it... but I was kinda just saying what I usually say, then this came out: "Please bless that Aimee and I will get the rest we need..." I was like woa! I suddenly realized that I had always prayed for someone ELSE. But I had never prayed for US. Even with my family. This is difficult for me to explain! Sorry! Normally, I would say: "Bless Aimee that she will get her rest" or "Bless Aimee that she will do well in school" or "Bless Aimee..." But I have never prayed for another person as a function of US. Bless US that WE will do well in school.... Bless US that WE will get our rest... I guess I have done that for groups of people, but never quite like this. It amazed me. I realized that I view Aimee and I as one unit. As US. And it made me so happy.

I know that what happens with Aimee and I is meant to be. The Lord is watching over us. And I know Aimee and I ARE one unit. We have a connection that I have been longing for my entire life. I louvre her so!

And let me end with this funny pick up line I should have used on Aimee: "Are you from Africa? Cuz' African love you!"
