Fairy Tales Do Exist

Last month, when I returned from my two-week Toronto getaway, one of my very good friends sat me down to talk. With tears in her eyes she told me that she was terrible sorry... but that she was dating the man of her dreams. Normally, people don't apologize for this sort of thing. But in this case, she was sorry that it was her and not me. Exactly a year before, we sat in her car in front of my house as we often do... and talked but this time about how we actually had came face to face with the man of our dreams. Both of us had. They were everything we had dreamed of. And we both felt it in our hearts that God had told us that we would marry them. We were almost embarassed to say these words aloud. Did God really tell people this? Did we hear the Lord right? Or was it just us really wanting it to be that person?! And then if we did hear right... how could it be that we could ever end up with such amazing men of God??? Did we even deserve them?

And now here she was... actually dating the man that I had prayed for her about a year ago.

And of course, as a human, one's first instinct is to think... why you and not me??? And I did ask that question silently to myself as the tears streamed down my face. And my very good friend knew I did. So after a good little cry... the kind that just us girls can have... I was overwhelmed with happiness for her.

As I have watched this relationship unfold... rather quickly too... I am soooooooooooo happy! It literally is a dream come true! They are perfectly perfect for each other... I haven't seen such a fitting couple in awhile! He is everything she could have wanted and that much more. As God has promised!

So maybe I'll get a fairy tale after all ;)
