MAY 25, 2003 JOURNAL ENTRY

Sweet, Sweet Girl,                                                                        May 25, 2003

I’ve decided to write you once a week.  I hope there are hundreds (or at least 100) of these letters by the time you get them.

I look forward to our life together.  I pray for your protection.  I’m becoming pure for you.  I don’t want to look at anyone else.  I want to keep my loving eyes only for you.  I love you and God has joined us together.  It doesn’t get much better than that.

I want to see what color your eyes are.  I want to smell your hair.  I know it will be intoxication to me. The aroma of it is like the most refreshing day of rest & relaxation.

I love your heartbeat.  I could listen to it all day and all night.

I love how warm you are.  Maybe your feet get cold at night .  I love that, too.

I love your opinions about things.  You have a different perspective than I do.

I love your hands, they’re strong…and yet so soft.

I love that you love & worship Christ, and put Him way above me.

I love that you love me.  God overwhelms me with your love for me.

I want to be everything that you desire.  I hope you prayed for me, too. I want to be ready to do whatever you want.  I want to give you everything that you want me to give.  Say the words and I will transform myself into a man of action who will fight for you.

I want to protect you.  I don’t ever want you to be sad because of me.  It will happen, but know that I want to wrap my arms around you & hold you & comfort you when that happens.

I love you more everyday.  Each day new parts of your beauty are revealed to me.  Thank you, Jesus!

Yours Forever,

Marc

Here are some of [Julie’s] comments:  Yes, my feet are always cold at night so this is very, very true for me ~ Julie

My hands are very strong, but soft ~ Julie

I do believe this is true that I love & worship Christ & put Him above Marc, but what is funny is that I was not that woman back in 2003 & would not have been true for me when he wrote this entry so I see the power of this prayer in the transformation that took place later on ~ Julie

Yes, I did end up praying for my future husband, but much later than 2003 & not as beautifully or intentionally  in writing a prayer journal as Marc did ~ Julie

Some people might not like this type of expression of love, but God knew that I specifically wanted a hopeless romantic type guy like Marc deep down & would appreciate this type of prayer & poetry…sometimes when I read these letters I think he sounds like a modern-day Shakespeare kind of guy ~ Julie.
