A Love Story By Cynthia..❤

Thank you lovely readers of The Artsy Girl Connections!

I am so excited Marilyn invited me to be part of her LOVE series.

grateful she asked me to be part of this.  I really do hope to meet you someday
 soon Marilyn. I will make sure our paths cross one of these days. 

....................................

On my blog, Adventures of Team Pancakes, I blog about my 
married life with my hubby and always encouraging others to live, love and laugh 
because at the end of the day...that's what it's all about.

I also truly believe those three things sustains my relationship with my husband.

Now onto why i am here today, to share my love story with Mr. Pancakes (my hubby).  

And a perfect month for me to share this story because we met in February...

what a terrific month to meet the potential man that would become my husband.  

This month we will celebrate four years of meeting and finding each other.
I hope you enjoy and a learn take something away in the process.

But before i get to that...i want to take you back a little bit...maybe a few weeks before
we met. And i will be doing this with journal entries from the month we met.

Journal Entry from Feb. 11, 2008 @ 6:05AM (yes i wrote times on my journal entry):

"i don't want to make any more mistakes where i do not listen to 
God's direction to my life.  I need to pray always and ask for 
guidance. I am thankful that God allowed this moment for me to 
come to him with an open heart and ask him to guide me always."

I was very intentional during this period in my life, specifically my r
elationship with God so i was very meditative.  I had no idea it would
help me so much in my meeting and falling in love with Mr. Pancakes.

Journal Entry from Feb. 12, 2008 @ 6:12AM:

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of 
love and of sound mind.  The last few days i have 
been at peace and feel great."

I was completely at peace with myself during this period and i believe 
because my heart was open, i was ready to receive love...
the right kind of love anyway. 

Journal Entry from Feb. 14, 2008 @ 8:04AM

"I am thankful that today is V-Day because more than anything, 

i am understanding that God's love is the most important thing and with 

that i will be loved regardless of what happens."

At this point, i was accepting of all that could potentially happen in my
love life. I was again ALL BY MYSELF for Valentine's Day and
although i was a little down...i definitely learned what was more
important in my life...the love of God.

Journal Entry from Feb. 25, 2008 @ 10:26AM

"i met a guy last week and i must say i am smitten.  Spoke to 
him for about 3.5 hours closer to 4 hours and the whole
entire time we were laughing and just having a good time. 

 More about him later."

 In between the 2/14 and 2/25...i MET my future husband 
and life has not been the same since.  

Journal Entry March 1, 2001 @ 9:10pm

"...i do believe sometimes making 

one decision can change your life 

for the better and i am hoping that this is it...

that meeting of a lifetime."

 As you can see, the month of February is a very special one for the hubby and i because 
reflecting through my journals, i realized that Life has NOT been the same since meeting 
and falling in love with him.  Our love story is definitely one that begins with a Higher 
power and how being in the right frame of mind and heart can and 
did open doors i never thought was possible.

Every one's love story is special but i do believe my love story is the best because it 
is mine and ours alone! For this lovely month...i wish you NOTHING but love and 
happiness always. And don't forget when love presents itself, 
open your heart and mind and accept it!

Thank you Marilyn and your lovely readers for allowing me 

to reflect today on our love story. Wishing everyone a lovely 

and safe Valentine's Day!
