what he is to me.

everyone's wish in life is to be loved, cherished and cared for by someone whom you wish to show the same qualities to. ever since i was a little girl i've dreamed of this man. growing up, i've thought i had found him many times before but it's now that i can honestly say i am with the man who makes all of my dreams come true. he goes far beyond any dream i could ever imagine and is a gift from the Lord. i cannot imagine my days without his sweet heart & smile.

the Lord set this up a long time ago and friendships, relationships, neighborhoods, church services and holidays. really, about 15 years ago.



corey childs is the perfect man for me. he laughs with me, cries with me, prays with me, worships with me.. he cares for me, treats me like his princess and never, ever fails to tell me that he loves me. ((about 45 times a day)).

he has qualities that i mesh with completely. we are so alike in our thoughts and reactions that it's almost scary. when i point out something that he may be doing wrong, he quickly lets me know that i am doing just the same thing as he is. that's what i love, his honesty. he is so honest, almost brutally honest sometimes- but that's what i ask for. it means the world to me to know that i can always depend on honesty from him.

Corey is firm in what he stands upon. he knows what is right & does everything in his power and in the Lord's power to build his life upon what is right.. such as the word of God, Godly morals, trustworthiness, honesty and integrity.

Corey never, ever strives to be just like everybody else. there is a quirkiness to him that i can't begin to explain. he always has someone laughing or saying "corey, where did that come from?" he doesn't want to fit in with the crowd. he wants to be different. he's hilarious, encouraging and knows how to handle every tough/awkward/weird/interesting situation.

Corey never settles or allows things that he does not like to continue in his life. he is always striving to become better; to become more Godly and strong in His word. this quality is so influential to me.. i find myself getting comfortable a lot but Corey always gives me a boost to be better and to remind myself that is's ALL about Jesus and praising Him with each day.

Corey is a big thinker, a big "imaginer" and is thoughtful in everything he does. he thinks ahead about special things and makes every event memorable. whether it were braves games, a fancy dinner in atlanta, fantasy in lights, or just a 'just because' date.. they're all so perfect and sweet.

sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in everyday life with work, school, routines and more routines but there is always that refreshing thought in the mornings that i can live another day with the man that the Lord has given to me for my life.. to be my best friend and my companion.

i pray to be the best girl/best friend/companion that i could ever be- to try and return the love that corey has shown me. he deserves every little bit of it!

so..if you're reading this, i am asking for your prayers in the journey that the Lord has put before corey and i.. we have a big calling on our lives- to save the lost and influence those around us with God's love. we never want to become mediocre and fit in the with the crowd. we know that the Lord has promised us good things and big things- we just have to follow in His will and be IN His will in order to see those things unfold.
