I’m a sucker for Love. I have probably watched every wedding proposal video on YouTube, and watch every love movie I can.
Let’s talk about those movies for a minute.
That “perfect” love shown in the movies is so appealing. I want it. I want someone to love me so much they never give up. A love that defies the odds. A love so incredible that we would be willing to sacrifice anything to show our true love. A love that never ends.
This love consumed my life and thoughts for a while, but I never got what I was looking for in the relationships I was in. I started to doubt that this love was for me. That I would not be able to understand what “perfect” love looked like.
The race has happened and the Lord has shown me more about love this year than I could have ever imagined, but I wasn’t grasping something and I had no idea what it was. That was until Project Searchlight.
PSL is a conference for racers that just got off the field. It has been more than I expected in ways I didn’t expect. It’s what I needed.
We were in worship one day and sang this line “I was created for a love story. It’s you and me.” I sat down started to imagine my life with the Lord as one of those loves stories I admire so much.
It was a story full of growth. Passion. Forgiveness. Unity. Hard things. Celebrations. Never giving up. Redemption. Sacrifice. And unconditional love.
He showed me how he wants to give me more than I expected and has been. That the love story I was searching for was already established and It is better than any love story I’ve ever watched. And the best part is it’s mine!
