When you fall in love with a person, you feel an intense urge to consume that person in any way you can.

Scott and I redefined what love truly is. We are two different ideas. We are two different races and raised from two different backgrounds. We merged during a time where we ignorantly had secret thoughts and ideas about the “how’s” and the “why’s” of this white man loving this black girl and this black girl loving this white man. I wasn’t concerned about what others were thinking. All I knew was I loved him; this is no doubt the man for me, and I am going to be with him.

Friends and family members were rallying around the authentic song of us loving each other and laughing together at each other’s jokes. Realizing that we had a lot more in common than we could ever think or imagine. Just like any other family, you’ll see family drama, financial setbacks, doubts, discouragement, struggles, and all of the many things that we all face in relationships.

When you have a soulmate, you can look beyond all of that and see the beauty and the creation that God designed just for the two of you.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“Love is patient; love is kind; it does not envy or boast; it is not proud or rude. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongdoings.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres because love bears all things; it hopes all things and endures all things.

Love never fails.”

The beauty of two families merging because of two people doing what was in their hearts and not listening to the world.

February is an awesome month for me.

My birthday is February 10th and Valentine’s Day is the 14th. I can now add our vow renewal date which took place February 8th, 2020 and the whole month of February, we celebrate Black History.

Scott and I will continue exemplifying the love of Christ as we continue to extend our love story to all. Breast cancer did not control how our story began, and it will not control how it ends.
