I cant wait for the day I can be there...

Im so sorry that I am so late posting this week..I dont know whats come over me! haha! I have just not felt like doing much this week, and havent really been online much, mainly because my new job is keeping me very busy!
I love this video I posted...Ruco spoke last Sunday night at a youth revival at Gonzalez Methodist Church (the church I grew up in and still has my heart.) He spoke about missions, what his parents do in France, and where we feel called. I spoke a little about my heart for Africa and passion for working with AIDS orphans. I showed this video as an illustration as to how important HIV/AIDS awareness and education is in Africa. I explained that I have felt called to do this since I was in high school. I also talked a little about Ruco, and I could see some of the girls immediately perk up and start listening when I talked about marriage (that was definately me 5 plus years ago.) I loved to think about what my future husband would be like, and pray about him ALL the time. I even kept a journal to give to my husband on our wedding night which explained why I decided to wait for him and pray just for him. I then talked about how AWESOME it is that God really does create, shape and mold us for his glory and then for eachother. I shared a little about how God has created in Ruco and I similar passions and goals, and that I do know that we will accomplish more as a married couple than we would as individuals. I know that through our marriage and future ministry in Africa, we will glorify God together, hand in hand. I love the way Ruco enriches my life, the way I can count on waking up to a fresh cup of coffee and Andrea Bocelli in the morning. I love the way I can count on listening to him playing his guitar on our front porch at night. Most importantly, I love the fact that being with Ruco, I have the courage to dream and the peace in knowing that God WILL give us the desires of our heart as long as we surrender everything to him. Ruco reminds me of this daily. I love the assurance and loving affirmation that I receive from Ruco. I know that God has this in store for those orphans in Africa. He wants them to know that they are precious and so loved. I love what the little girl says on this video, it made me cry the first and second time that I saw it...she says, "Its important to keep yourself for that special person, so you can give your whole self to him...because you have to keep yourself for that special person to give him the whole of you, sexually and spiritually." I love that she says that, because it is not the belief in Swaziland. They believe there that if you have HIV/AIDS, you should sleep with a virgin to get rid of the disease. This little girl knows Gods truth and is now desiring to save herself for her future husband, so she can give all of herself to him. I love this, and cant wait for the day that I can be there, with little girls like this, and reassure them that they are more precious to Jesus than they could ever even imagine. I cant wait to look into their eyes and tell them that He romantically and wrecklessly chases after their hearts, and wants us to have a very special relationship with the one person that He has shaped and molded especially for them. I cant wait for that day to come.
