Dear Future Husband,

Please vow to make me a smoothie weekly :) haha, jk you don't have to. I looooooove you! & I can't wait to meet you. I'm sorry I had to kiss all those frogs before I met my prince, haha ♛ If I had my life to do over again... I'd find you sooner so I could love you longer. ❥

Sincerely,
Me/princess ♕


Dear ALMOST future husband,

i can't seem to forgive nor trust you. actually, i haven't trusted you in years since you burned me the first time. but it's okay that you hurt me and left me. it's okay. God still loves you, but i.. i don't trust you.. is that even possible? that i miss you and i love you, but i don't trust you? what happened to my best friend? and how is it that i only miss parts of him? the 'cruel and negligent boyfriend' half was just unbearable!!

Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don’t understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time.Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive him instantly, but you are not expected to trust him immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing him to hurt you. He must prove he has changed over time. The best place to restore trust is within the supportive context of a small group that offers both encouragement and accountability.
