To My Beloved

Dear Jennifer,

Sometimes I think that I want to be dramatic and romantic in the way I say I Love you. Other times I want to be so pragmatic in my statements of Love to you that I keep some of my strongest words to myself. I have realized that neither is right or wrong. I am a dramatic person, but I am also pragmatic. I am superstitious and yet very logical. In short...I am human. I am a man. I am God's man and soon to be yours. I am not perfect. I don't have the right thing to say all the time. I forget things, simple things.

You have helped to make Love more real in my life.

I was sharing our story with a friend tonight and I got to the part where we "went for brunch." I paused and remembered the story and realized how much God has done in me through you and through our relationship. Thank you for being such a great conductor of God's Spirit (look at this Baptist go!). Let us make this a regular thing, being conductor's of God's Spirit to each other. I know that some of what I'm "feeling" will go away, but I know that my, I mean our, Love will grow as long as we tend it well, let the Son of God shine, the rain of the Spirit soak us through and God the Father laugh and breathe His breath through us.

Thank you.

I Love you.



Truly Yours,

Lyf Edward Stolte
