His Love

I’ve been thinking quite frequently how blessed I am to have Jordans love. I have so many names for him: Best friend, tender mercy, lovey-love… All I know is that I am happy and that I feel more love for him than I have for any other person. Everything in my life has a silver lining now as I think of him in it.

What a great journey we are on which is only just beginning. The future is my friend that brings sweet anticipation, and the past is my wise teacher. Jordan is the one holding my hand through it all.

It’s funny to me that I ever doubted that I could find someone like him. I didn’t even recognize him for who he was until I let down my wall. And, in classic Jordan Kendall style, he was ever faithful, patient and loving through it all. I don’t know how he did it. What I do know, though, is that I will spend my life and beyond showing him the kind of love he effortlessly has given me from the beginning.

I found the following quote once-upon-a-time:

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her."


I have no clue who first said/wrote this, but I’ve come to the conclusion that they must have known my Jordan.

I have had many people in my life who have shown me through example what true love is. I have watched them and admired their relationships. I’m so grateful to begin my own and I am ever more grateful to know that God loves us enough to create a plan that centers around a man and a woman coming together, discovering love, nurturing their love through sacrifice, creating life, nurturing the lives given them, and increasingly entwining their hearts as one. One flesh.

Such a plan is mind-blowing in its beauty.

Perfect in its construction.

Moral of the story: I love Jordan Patrick Kendall

Forever.
