My Love Language

In my premarital sessions, we've been going through the book The Five Love Languages.  The book focuses on five different areas of love, that everyone can identify with at least one major category.  Out of the five (words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch), I would definitely consider myself a words of affirmation girl, no doubt.

I love to complement.
I love to express myself through words.

For the longest time, I've considered myself an extrovert.  But, in this last year, I've realized that naturally, I am not that.  I really dislike large groups of people.  I really dislike face-value conversation.  I like honest and deep conversation...and I like being alone.

I think this mixture has been my downfall.  I've struggled with loneliness a lot since getting engaged.  I don't have many friends in serious relationships, and I've felt distanced from a lot of single ones.  Maybe it's all in my head.  But I don't think it truly is. I've entered a new stage in my life...one that 95% of 19 and 20 year olds haven't experienced the blessing of, yet.  My biggest fear with that is that it would make me seem unapproachable.  I don't want that, at all.  I just want honest communication and love.

I am so grateful for the things that God has blessed me with these last few months.  My relationship with my fiancé is incredible, and just continues to leave me in awe.  Five months from TODAY, I will be his wife.  I know that the markers in my life that I will pass through on my journey as a fiance', wife, mother, sister, friend, will be cake with Caleb by my side.

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.

Deuteronomy 14:2

Soon and Very Soon...

Time certainly flies by, doesn't it?  I am thrilled knowing that in 154 days, I will no longer be called Miss Meyer, but Mrs. Sueverkruepp.  (See-ver-croop, for those who can't pronounce it...hah)...

Honestly, I truly cannot express into words my excitement for this time in my life right now.  I love school, but just earning my degree seems almost a little obsolete...while still living on campus seems way obsolete.  I'm thankful that I have a place to stay while I'm here in Lincoln...but it's a struggle for me right now.  Last night in particular, I woke up at 3am, due to people yelling literally 15 feet from my room.  This year, I've truly realized how different I am from many other members of the UNL class of 2013.

I've never tasted alcohol.
I'm saving myself for my husband.
I value my faith in Jesus...my belief is not "Sunday only"...

But it's okay.  Because Christ is in control of my life.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart 
and lean not on your own understanding; 
in all your ways submit to him, 
and he will make your paths straight.
