God's grace is more than your needs

Dear hon,

So we just finished our 1 hr call! Wow! I believe it has been at least 1 full week since i) you called me first and ii) we chatted so relaxingly.

I must confess that the past few days I had my moments of doubts, that I may lose you. We had very limited communication lately and while I know how you are feeling, I do not know exactly what you are thinking. I didn't dare to think what would happen in that case, as I have never been so much in love before and you are so special to me. But I know that the Lord is sustaining me. He reinforces me again and again that everything is under His control. I trust Him.

This morning when I reread my spiritual journal, like I told you over the phone, I saw again how I was led on the path one step at a time, and the amazing things that God has planned so that I can be with you. This gave me yet another assurance.

It was so great to hear about your Sunday experience, and I was so excited as I know I will enter it in this blog (and thus why I am doing this now before I go to work).

So you were touched by the spirit to make an offering at a foreign church the past Sunday (Aug 26th). Despite that you had little money in your purse you answered the call and offered what you had!! (I am so proud of you!!)
After that you thought you didn't need to use money because your family want to have buffet, but because the meal ended late you offered your sister to pay for the taxi ride which should cost $60-$70, and turned out that it cost only $48 while you only had $50 left!!
And God's grace continued. On your way home you and a stranger both missed the last ride (while it should not have been the case -- the last one must have left early). Knowing that you need to ask your mom to come down to pay for you, the stranger treated you for the ride!!
How amazing!! The Lord's plan is flawless. Your submission was responded by great blessings.

Now I am getting ready to head out.
Love,
Andrew

As you have assumed correctly, many many thoughts have gone through my mind, including the idea that we were not meant to be. Like you, I didn't want to think what would happen in that case for over the past 2 years, you have gradually become a part of me. But even sometimes, I find that there are days that I don't like myself / something about myself and want to flee. But of course, that is immature. Your song to me reminded me of our roots, of our initial appreciation for each other and God's work in our lives. It reminded me of our promise to each other that together we walk towards God. Upon thinking about our song, I feel a renewed commitment.
