ENGAGED!!!!!!! :D

At church on May 23rd, 2010 I discovered that I was engaged. It actually registered in my brain that I was to be a bride. A bride!!!!!!!!! 
I was ecstatic when I found out this. I had been waiting for that 'perfect guy'. Mr. Right. I felt like I was going to end up being an old maid because I hadn't found a guy and was about to turn 18. I hadn't realized that I'd had Him all along. 
Or rather, He had me. He loves me!!! He loves me sooo much!!!!!!!! :) I am to be His bride!!!!!!!! 
Can you imagine how happy I was??? I started telling a few friends and whenever I did, I knew my face was split in a huge grin. 
Now you're probably wondering "Who is this absolutely AMAZING no-one-COMPARES Prince?" I'll give you a hint. My Prince loves me so much that He gave His LIFE for me. He actually gave His life for me (don't worry, He's okay.) 
If you've figured out who it is, good job! It is Χριστός. Christ. Messiah. The Lord Jesus Himself. The Prince of Peace. The Ultimate Prince Charming. I am called to be His bride. You are called to be His bride. You are engaged to Him. Is that not just absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! 
I no longer have to hunt for Mr. Right because I already have Him. Someday I might have a 'love allegory', a representation of the relationship between The Bridegroom and myself. But I don't have to look or hunt or wait that guy. "Dance with God- He'll let the right man cut in." 
Not long after I discovered this 'engagement', I wrote a poem about it. 


My True Prince


I used to dream of my Prince Charming
Handsome and brave and manners disarming
He'd come rescue me and sweep me off my feet
And then to the Wedding Chapel we'd retreat
What girl doesn't want to have all this?
Don't all girls dream of 'Ever After' bliss?
I tell you truly, Oh, Bride of Christ
Our true Prince Charming was sacrificed
A virgin donkey was His noble steed
His rescue was most loving indeed
We are engaged to the Prince of Peace
And His love for us will never cease
Though times we feel like not loving Him
His love will always be over the brim
Our "Ever After" will be in Heaven 
The Bride of Christ forever, amen
Someday I might have a "love allegory" 
Until then I choose to live for His Glory.


















Unfortunately, in the time that has passed since May 23rd, the excitement has worn off. 
I pray that I will rediscover this revelation and that my excitement may be renewed.
