I have fallen more in love with Daddy God.<\/p>\n

Since I arrived here in Spain, back in March, Daddy God has truly been at work in my heart.\u00a0 Just this past week, He took me through a “walk of realization” of just how much He really loves me, how much of a gentleman He is, and how He has been everything that I have wanted, or even needed, in a husband.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We have gone on many dates together; whether it be on walks in the park, walks around the city, or hikes.\u00a0 We have had a cup of coffee together and just listened to music.\u00a0 We have danced and sang together.\u00a0 He has allowed me to just sit in His lap, cry in His arms, and even just lay my head in His lap.\u00a0 He has told me bedtime stories, and played in my hair.\u00a0 And that small gentle kiss on the cheek, yep He’s even given me one of those here and there.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He has been very subtle with various ways He has loved on me; out of respect for my feelings – almost to not overwhelm me.\u00a0 Before March, I didn’t like flowers – not at all!\u00a0 I felt like flowers were too girlie and I never wanted to feel too girlie, because I never wanted people to think of me as being a “weak” – I always had to seem strong.\u00a0 I hate how I have allowed the world to distort my view of the women, in the sense that if I like “girlie” things, that I am weak – I know that’s not true.\u00a0 This dislike for flowers has come to an end, but it was all because of Daddy\u00a0God.<\/p>\n

You know, when Adam and Eve walked the garden, before the fall, they saw things from the point of view of God.\u00a0 Once they listened to the lies of the enemy, they handed over their authority to him – they began to see the world from the perspective of the enemy, which is where their fear of God came.\u00a0 It’s beautiful to think about how Daddy God has given me His perspective on flowers, instead of me walking in my own perspective.\u00a0 I have almost had an endless supply of bouquets of flowers, and the most beautiful flowers that anyone could ever imagine, every week.\u00a0 The best part, I never have to ask for them, He just brings them to me with some of the most amazing smells that anyone could ever imagine.\u00a0 I love how He brings them to me; with a sweet notes that say things like, “I’m thinking of you”, “you hold so much beauty in my eyes, as these flowers are to you”, “just because I love you”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He walks around the park with me, holding my hand, and showing me the beauty of His nature and tells me that it’s mine.\u00a0 He shows me the beauty that He has created just for me, and tells me that He sees me as one of His most beautiful creations.\u00a0 He tells me He is pleased with me and so proud of me; that He is so proud to call me His own.\u00a0 He treasures me.\u00a0 He wants to spend time with me, and talk to me, and never gets tired of time with me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His sense of humor is one that is unmatched.\u00a0 We have laughed so much together, and I love it.\u00a0 We have traveled together, and in these moments of traveling, He continues to show me His beauty.<\/p>\n

Recently, we traveled to North Africa together.\u00a0 It was there in North Africa, that He\u00a0 showed me His beauty in the mist of a dark place.\u00a0 It was also there, where I did not speak the language, that He taught me the importance of loving through my actions, and not just through my words.\u00a0 It truly gave me an understanding of the saying, “actions speak louder than words”.<\/p>\n

What we called, “Caca Bread”. Yes, that would be donkey poo that was used for fire, to cook the bread. The bread was delicious, I must admit \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n
