I understand a little more now. For some reason, I think that God likes helping people that get angry at each other to love each other in the end. I mean, I’ve never fought so much with ANYone (maybe besides my parents) like I have with Drew & this is probably my 2nd shortest relationship? Something like that. But it will be my longest in the end. It’s amaaazing though, because I know that if I hated him, I wouldn’t be able to fight with him at all & because I’m able to be angry with him at times & even fight & everything be okay in the end, it’s because I feel safe & I trust he’ll keep loving me. Love is always a continual growing process. Sometimes it’s EXTREMELY hard (you & I probably know that just about as much as anyone…believe me, if you heard how much Drew & I have gone through……for real)…but it’s always rewarding & what doesn’t kill us can only make us stronger when we go to Jesus through it all…or even completely broken by trying to take things into our own hands. Thank God for being so forgiving! Now, I just need to learn to be more like Him! & learning, I am! Being teachable is probably the greatest quality a person can have, especially in a relationship…& Rachel, I think you are & I honestly don’t know how you could get any more wonderful, but if it’s possible, I know that’s the direction you’re heading! I love you more than you know! & sorry I don’t normally ask you 1st when I ask Anna to hang out & then just say that you can…I really want to hang out with you too! I promise. I’m just used to asking for Anna 1st. So please, if you’re ever not busy & I’m not busy & Anna & I are doing something…feel free to join in & even invite yourself cuz I know I want you with & I know Anna loves you & probably wants you with us too! God bless you & your boyfriend! hehe. It is pretty exciting, eh? I love my MANfriend a LOT! haha…i think we’ve always said manfriend & ladyfriend instead of boyfriend & girlfriend cuz we’re silly like that! LOVE YOU, other Rachel!
