I’ve been wanting to link up with Amber for a few months now for her monthly letter link-up, but this month was the first that I was actually able to sit down and schedule a post. Today’s prompt is about safe places, and if you feel inspired…. Come link up.
Dear Kyle,
It’s been over 6 years since you first held me in your arms, but that is still one of my very favorite places to be. Growing up I always dreamed of finding a safe haven, a rock of my own, a place to land, and you’ve given me that. I don’t know how I could ever repay you. You chose my rocky, jagged self and put me on a shelf as one to be admired and loved and cherished.
The fact that I know you will always be here, loving me, holding me, sheltering me — well, I have no words to describe how that makes me feel. You know my past, you know my crazy, and still, you love me. Still, you hold me. Still you make me feel safe and secure and beautiful and loved.
You created a space for this independent girl to come and rest her head. A place where there is no fear, only love, only acceptance. No guard rails, no insecurities. Only us, together. Marriage is supposed to be the safest place, a holy place, and ours is that. So thank you.
Wife to Kyle, and momma to Abe, Eliza and Jonah. I'm a stay-at-home momma by day, and a blogger by naptime. I graduated from BYU with a degree in Human Development, and I love to read more than anything. I love my Savior, and sharing His love for others is my greatest passion.
