To My Future Husband (From 10 Years Ago)

I found this letter in one of my old journals awhile ago. It's something I wrote to my "future husband" from 10 years ago. It's pretty adorable. And Hilarious. And more than slightly heartbreaking.


Dear Husband,
I wish that I knew who you were so much. I pray for you every day. It's wonderful to know that you love me. I love you too. Even though I don't know you. Or, maybe I do. I wish I could just talk to you for a little while. Tell me everything will be OK. Tell me that you'll always love me. I'm only 12 now, but you love that 12 year old who is writing this. Thank you for waiting. Thank you for loving God. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for loving who I am, regardless of what I am not. You won't call me Jenny. You also won't compare me with her. No, I can't sing and dance as well as her, but I am me. And you love me. And I love you. I always have. I know that it might be a long hard wait, but please wait. Please don't keep anything from me. I'll strive to do the same. I know that we will have to go through a lot probably, everyone does, but with God's help, we can do it. I have no clue who you are, but I know you are out there. I guess that is all! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!

Always your wife in life and in Christ,
Lauren


Haha seriously, how ridiculously adorable (and slightly pathetic?) is that all? What a cheesy awesome 12 year old I was. However, I have no idea what I meant by, "always your wife in life and in Christ." I mean, I get the "in life" part. But I'm his wife...in Christ? What?

It's funny, because it also reminds me of when I once believed that there was one certain person I was supposed to marry and everyone else was wrong because they weren't that person. You know, the whole, "God picked that person out for me since the beginning of time" thing. Or something like that. Honestly...I don't really believe that there is only one right person anymore. I think there are a lot of people that could be right. I wish I still believed that there was really one person set aside for me, it would almost make things easier. but I don't know that God/life works like that. And I don't know that I need (or want) it to work that way, anymore.

Say goodbye to the romantic in me.

I guess 10 years does that to a girl. (Oh I know..woe is me!)

About Me

My photo
This blog is basically how I de-stress from 1.) all the awkwardness I encounter and cause on a daily basis and 2.) life in general. You know all of those little situations and bumps in the road that you don't give a second that about? (No, you don't know, because you didn't give them a second thought.) Well, those kinds of situations tend to create existential dilemmas in my soul. So at some point I will probably give you too much in depth information on my emotional, spiritual, and mental health, because some self-absorbed part of me thinks you really want to know.
