When i found the picture above, I immediately thought of love as in two people in a relationship. Then, after having thought about it, I realized that this applied with any form of love. God has done so many amazing things in my life, but when I saw this, I thought of the relationship between me and my father. Like most relationships, there were ups and downs. 

             Unlike a movie, my father and I were not always outside playing ball or going for ice cream. Unlike a movie, there wasn't just one obstacle for us to face. We were in reality. No scriptwriters to add boundaries to our troubles. God wrote our relationship into our life stories and only He knew how it would all end up. I thank God now for every obstacle that was thrown at us because despite of it all, love prevails.

              The love between my father and I is better than any movie I have seen now. We've slayed our demons and have overcome our troubles. Now, in this big world, I am supposed to be independent. At 19 years old, it's expected that I want to break away from my parents and put up a barrier. In my case, it's in my 19th year that I've felt closest to him. 

                God made it clear to me that the obstacles thrown at us were only to make us stronger and to make us come together in the end. He wrote in something much better than any movie, he wrote in raw and eternal love; something God knows all about. God is love, so only He can be trusted in giving us amazing love stories.

               So, tonight I dedicate this blog to those that I know God wrote into my life in order for me to show them my devoted love; My mother, My aunt Sue, My father, step father, step mother and my "brothers". They make my life better than the movies.

"Don't compare your love story to those you watch in movies. They're written by screenwriters. Yours is written by God."
