Hidden truth is worth seeking....seventeen

A continuation from day 8 of 31 days of reflecting on truth.

Girl seventeen.....She said yes and accepted the ring he offered her.  He was sweet.  He listen to her, even when she talked about Jesus.  He said he loved her and wanted no one else but her by his side.
     He had dreams, lots of them, and plans to go with them of course after his time in the military.  He had it all figured out and this was exactly what she thought she needed.  It appealed to the girl that was lost with no real direction for the future.  It just had to be. 
     She remembered seeing him off and how she collapsed into her daddy's lap and cried like a baby.  This had to be love, this feeling of connection and finally belonging.  She quickly became a part of his family and they, a part of her heart.  She wrote and she prayed and she prayed and she wrote and in a sense she was finding her wings.  The desire to consider and serve someone else, the act of loving began to awaken her heart to some of her dreams that no longer felt so out of reach.

Girl eighteen......to be continued.
