Holley’s Challenge #19 – Who’s Ready To Share Some Love?
This isn’t what you think. It’s not about mushy, pie-in-the-sky, singing-in-the-rain romance. (Although there is a little rain as you’ll soon see. And there’s a big surprise for you!)
Nope, this is about a different kind of love, a different kind of story…yours.
But let’s start with the rain first.
One day as I gathered books and stepped into the hall I saw a familiar face wearing a smile and holding an umbrella. My future husband came to walk me through the rain. And my love story came to life.
Years later, during a difficult storm in my life God used that memory to show me that He, too, wanted to walk me through the rain. And my love story came to life.
Almost half a decade of hurt and hope went by. I shared what God had done with other women. It helped heal their hearts too. And my love story came to life.
We’re made for love. And it comes whenever the divine shows up in the ordinary, whether that’s through family, friends, a cause that captures our hearts, or totally unexpected moments.
Lean in and I’ll whisper a secret…
It’s not about happily-ever-after.
It’s about eternity.
God is the Author and He is love. (Hebrews 12:2, 1 John 4:16)
That means we’re all living a love story.
And not just on Valentine’s Day but forever.
Now that’s worth celebrating!

Share a love story from your life.

I AM SO LOVED… by my family. Especially my dad, who just helps me know the love of the Father in such tangible ways. I cherish every moment!(February 15, 2010 at 12:16AM)
