A True Blessing From Above

Last Friday my best friend asked my daddy for permission to court me. After a long conversation discussing convictions and such my daddy said "yes"! I could never ask for a better boyfriend. God has truly blessed me by sending such a wonderful man into my life.

Let me back up just a little. Wednesday, the 17th of June, Phillip told me he had something important to tell me. So we made time to be able to talk after the evening service at church. To help out with his nerves, right before he could say anything a little boy came up to us and said "She's your girlfriend, huh?" We just dismissed it by saying we were only friends. Poor Phillip, now his train of thought was messed up and he was a bit more nervous. Well, he told me how he felt about me in hope that I felt the same way. So, I showed him a poem I wrote for him to express to him how I felt and assured him that I felt the same way about him. This is the poem I wrote:

I feel my heart race
Every time I see your sweet face.
When I close my eyes
You're right there before me-
Smiling...
Letting me know how much you care.
My heart is full with you in my life-
I forget all my pain and strife.
You are a blessing to my heart...
Forever, I wish never to part.

We decided then that he should talk to my daddy as soon as possible. He said he would the following Sunday but my parents suggested that he do it that Friday, the 19th. He comes to my family's house every Friday and we thought it might be a little weird my parents knowing how we felt about each other and not saying anything about it when he came over. He agreed. So he came over a little after 9:00 pm. and we got right to talking with my parents. So needless to say, we are now in a courtship trying to find out if we are compatible to be married.
