My life has changed so beautifully after God crushed the walls of fear I built up around my heart. During the summer of this year I battled so greatly with God about so many things. I felt my days were as water just slipping by with so much confusion and fear. This was truly a time of refining from God because He alone knew what was to come.
I met Rigoberto Morales in March and nothing became of our conversations but God had a plan. A beautiful plan. We began talking again on July 9th and since than a purpose filled relationship began to grow in Christ, with Him as our foundation. Rigo is a God-fearing man who loves the Lord, has convictions and is what I had always prayed a man would be in my life. Through my cynicism of relationships and love, God restored me this summer refining a lot of ideas and beliefs that were still remains of heartache. God brought me a man that would love me as a woman. I know the love God has poured out on me through Christ and NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON could take that place. But I know God has given me my hearts desire fulfilling it in every way from things that would seem insignificant like his laugh, his eyes, the tone of his voice, his sense of humor to the significant things like his beliefs in Christ, his faithfulness to tithe, his convictions on relationships and respecting my dads wishes. I was worth it to him, Rigo, to pursue everyday. I felt more blessed than these words can say the day he asked me to marry him. I cried at how this wonderful man loved me, me, little insignificant Theresa. The one that wants to be invisible was seen. I trust God in the things concerning my heart and see now that all things have a purpose. There were nights I prayed and cried out to God for a man just like Rigo. So consistent, so thoughtful, so patient, someone who loved the convictions I had and did not think it a bother to deal with the things I believed. God has always given me grace for the day and I pray He will use this relationship to glorify HImself. I have much to learn about being a wife and a woman of Christ in such a way as this. I am just going to enjoy this season and be in awe and the goodness of God!
