Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever met someone for the first time and thought that you knew them? When you saw them for the first time it was like your soul said "oh. there you are". No matter how much you tried to figure out how you knew them you just couldn't figure it out and soon you realized that you actually didn't know them at all? See, about ten months ago that happened to me. I was working and a customer came up to me and I swore I knew him. I spent the next few minutes trying to figure out how, but wouldn't. I went on break with my best friend and the customer came and sat with us. He said my name and asked how I was doing and I was so sure that I knew him until I realized that I had a name tag on. When my best friend and I went back to work, he asked me to rate the customer on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most attractive. I rated him a 10 and my best friend was surprised. He said, "what? That's my brohter". And i replied, "well he's hot so..". A few minutes later my best friend decided to ask me if I would ever date his brother. I quickly replied saying yes and he decided to crush my hopes by telling me that his brother was in a relationship. However, soon after that incodent the relationship ended. Me and my best friend's brother started hanging out a lot. Of course we always hung out in groups and never really knew each other that well. I always had this feeling that we would end up being together but I figured it was just the devil messing with my head. Then, on April 17, 2015 I get a friend request onn facebook and it's him. It's the brother that I've been hard core crushing on for months. He messages me and we hang out all weekend. Still not knowing each other that well he decides to spend my birthday with me, and yes I mean the whole day. I had so much fun! It was a great birthday. We continued to hang out as friends for the next two months and then things changed by June. We realized we had feelings for each other and that's where our relationship began. I wanted to take things slow and not get serious knowing that the he had just broken up with his girlfriend of 4 years. I prayed about it continuously and had faith that if it was meant to be then things would be okay. Even though we were talking, I made an effort to be there for him when things concerning his ex came up. I had been in a relationship similar to the one he had been in just a year before. I believed that we were put in each others lives so that I could help him get through it, and I did. Once he was okay I realized that his feelings for me still hadn't changed, but I wanted to know if it was real. I prayed that if we weren't meant to be that God would take him out of my life. The next day things did changed. We got closer. He was so different. He suddenly wanted to be with me all the time. He wanted to go places and show me off. I was honestly so relieved. It's been 5 months and we've gotten so close. I want to be with him forever. To say that I love him would be an understatement. I fall for him more and more each day. I still get butterflies just thinking about him. I've never been so happy in my entire life. I know that God has a plan for us. And I'm so happy. It's hard to wait for God's timing. But I know that His timing is perfect. It feels good to be in love, and to feel so much joy. It's amazing being in a relationship centered on seeking God's will and building your relationship with Him together. I'm truly blessed. And I will never stop thanking God for what He has done for me.
