DEDICATION
This is dedicated to the One I love. He chased me for a long time before I realized I needed Him. We have only been close for twenty-one years but I have known about Him all of my life. I didn’t think I was good enough to be close to Him; surely not in a relationship with Him, but my, my, was I wrong. I wasted a lot of time trying to ignore Him but He was so patient and waited for me to get over myself. One day I don’t know what hit me but I fell so in love with Him and there are no words to explain it. My whole life has changed and I have indescribable joy.
This is dedicated to the One I love. He is always with me and I don’t mind. If I feel like He is not near I get uneasy. He is a great listener and His wisdom is the best in this world. He is the only one who can always tell me what to do. No, I don’t always listen but I quickly recognize when I should have listened, so I stop to ask Him for forgiveness and clear direction.
This is dedicated to the One I love. Just when I think I know Him; He keeps on surprising me. The way He answers me when I ask a question; sometimes His answer makes me wish I had not asked! You see His answers always require me to make a change and the change is always right. He loved me even when
