a letter written by an awesome guy that i would like the name of.
"Dear future wife,
It's almost 3 in the morning and I can't stop thinking about you.
I'm not exactly sure who you are or where you live…
but there are some things you should know...
I love Jesus with all my heart; I know you will too…
When I say I love Him, I mean… I REALLY LOVE HIM.
And His church.
I plan on loving you like I love His church.
I've made a lot of mistakes and I'm not perfect
(ha, I guess that's obvious).
But I will choose to pursue righteousness and holiness in all I do.
I will be man of integrity. A trustworthy man. A strong leader.
I promise to be the best husband you could ever ask for in every way.
I look forward to raising little sons and daughters for the kingdom of heaven.
And you can rest assured that I will treat you like a princess.
My name means blessed guardian. I plan on living up to my name and being the blessed guardian and protector of your heart and emotions.
I will never cheapen your value by calling other women names reserved for you. Never.
I will not so much think a thought about another woman in a way reserved for you.
I will tell you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world and mean it.
I will tell you that there is no one like you and mean it.
I will never ever cheapen what we have by giving it to others.
I honor you too much for that. You will know it.
I never plan on making you submit to me. I only plan to be a good enough leader to earn your honor and respect so that you can trust me even when things are unclear.
I will never abuse you.
I plan on being open and honest about everything in my life. I know I can trust you.
I know that we will probably have arguments, but no fighting.
I plan on being civil and controlled when speaking, I trust you will do the same.
And if things get a little heated… our love will be too great to let the sun go down on it.
Making up will be wonderful.
I will wait as long as required to find you. I really mean, until the Lord brings you to me.
I am asking for a whole lot. I'm not even going try to lie to you.
I've known for a long time that my life would never be "normal".
I know that will excite you.
I feel that we are going to travel together. A lot.
In fact, you are key and essential to what will be our ministry.
I will sing to you. If you want.
I will open your door for you.
I will pray with you.
I will worship God with you.
I will read to our kids and pray with them.
I will do what I say I'm going to do.
I will admit when I'm wrong.
I will do everything I can to help your dreams come true.
I will study the word and share my revelation with you often.
I will be patient with you.
I will ask for directions.
I've had these dreams, I'll tell you about them later, but they make me smile.
Songs, poems… I just want to explode.
There is so much going through my mind… I can't type it all.
It would take me all night.
Hopefully we'll talk soon, then it will be easier.
I may not be the best looking guy.
I may not be the richest man.
I may not be the perfect guy.
But no one, I promise, no one will ever love you like I can. Not on earth anyway.
Well… I suppose I'll stop here for tonight.
I have church tomorrow morning and I want to be alert for Jesus.
I wish you could be there with me.
Maybe you will be…
Maybe you don't even speak English. Ha. Who knows.
Oh yeah, God knows… we'll just wait on Him, ok?
I want you to know…
I'm praying for you.
You are beautiful.
Let's change the world together.
Forever yours,"

He said his name means "blessed guardian." That's for the Irish name Eadbhard or Edward. :) So just gotta find an Ed. :)
