Today was THE day! C. came to visit and it was absolutely wonderful! We were able to talk face-to-face and reassure each other about our situations. One thing that stood out to me was her still very warm love toward me. I know that she loves me and that is an amazing feeling.
Upon that love as a foundation, I brought up the question of engagement, relating again to Kenneth Taylor's (author of The Living Bible)) story - an engagement that could've lasted for years. How crazy is that? It's kind of scary to think about but I really do feel that God is with us. He has been a great Guide during the past few months and I feel like He has given His thumbs up.
Today was simply awesome, a true delight.

Hope and Joy - Henri Nouwen
"While optimism makes us live as if someday soon things will be better for us, hope frees us from the need to predict the future and allows us to live in the present, with the deep trust that God will never leave us alone, but will fulfill the deepest desires of our hearts.
"Often we have come to the discovery that what we have considered to be hope and joy were little more than selfish desires for success and rewards. Painful as this discovery may be, it can throw us right into the arms of the One who is the true source of hope and joy."
