One Question: Who Would've Thought?

This is going to be something to put out but I guess I'll start with this; so much has happened over the past few weeks! I got to visit Liberty U. for a couple of days in April and was very glad when I did. When I got off the train after an hour delay, I was reunited with my dear friend Travis. I couldn't say enough how happy we were to see each other. We drove to my friend Salvy's house from the station and settled there for a few minutes before Travis had to go back to the dorm. The next day was a brand new beginning because something happened that wasn't expected... especially that Tuesday night. I accompanied Travis to a few places that day when I realized I wasn't going to be hanging out with my friend Richie like we said we would. I suppose there's always next time though. Anyway, we went to Walmart to get a birthday present for my youngest brother, Burger King to eat and then we went to Salvy's house so we could chill for a bit. When we got there, the door was locked and everyone was gone. lol At that point, I decided to sit on the porch and not long after that, Travis joined me. We started talking a bit about different things that have happened in the past, mainly what happened between him and Jessica. While he vented out to me, I rested my head on his shoulder as I was listening. As I did that, he put his arm around me. Before we knew it, we were holding hands. It just seemed so natural. Travis later told me that he felt at peace that night instead of feeling pain because of how Jessica broke off her relationship with him. It was so astounding to me when he told me that.

The following day we spent together was unforgettable. We went driving up to the mountains and did some hiking. We hiked down to this pretty waterfall where we took some pictures and stood together on this bridge where the waterfall ran down. We held each other close for a while. All the way there and all the way back, we held hands. Then we went out to dinner and Campus Church. One thing about when we went from the Blue Ridge Parkway to dinner, we didn't stop holding hands til we got out of the car! It was something else. And of course, Campus Church was awesome!! Dr. Caner talked about how we should test the spirit, about how we should find out whether what we're getting into is God's will or not. Travis and I learned a lot that night. When we came back to Salvy's house, the door was open but I wanted to sit outside for a while again. Travis decided to join me again. Oh, how we didn't want the night to end! We sat on the porch and held each other close again. When the time came to say goodnight, we really didn't want to. I walked Travis over to his car and we just stood there hugging each other a few times. Gosh! Ever since that week I came down, things have been happening between us. It looks like we're heading into a relationship. Oops, I take that back.... we are! My visit to North Carolina in the summer will surely confirm it. We've been having a lot of conversations lately about it and it just keeps getting better and better. The dreams I've had about Travis and me are coming true and I just can't believe it. I just want to thank God for sending Travis into my life. He's been such a blessing to me and I can't wait for great things to happen in our lives. As long as we keep giving God all the glory in all we do, everything will fall into place. I just want to put this out: I'm not in it for the moment alone - I'm in it for the rest of my life.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for your faithfulness and your love. You've carried me through rough times and showed me the way to go. I love you forever. I praise and thank you Father for what's been happening between Travis and me. I believe you've brought us together for a reason. It's so evident now. I pray that you'll bless us as we live our lives to give you all the glory. I pray for great things to happen as we keep on seeking after you with our whole hearts. Thank you so much for bringing Travis into my life. Continue to keep watch over him and his family. I thank you for your angels surrounding them and protecting them wherever they go. Thank you so much, Jesus. You truly are my Number One and my Inspiration. I love you so much! In Jesus' Precious Name I pray, amen. (6:33 pm)
