My Best Friend

Last night I had the opportunity of thinking back to where I was a year ago. As I thought about it I realized how much things have dramatically changed for me. I was sitting by David Durrant and we reflected on where we were a year ago. It made me think of all the things that had happened within one year. Just one year, three hundred and sixty-five days later I have completely changed my outlook on life. Not to say a year ago was bad but I never really realized how much of a difference this year has caused me. One of the biggest changes was through meeting that man I was sitting by last night. I'll try not to make this sappy or even to make David blush but I think if I am going to blog about my life, I have to write about my life. I will attempt to avoid any cliches that relationships carry but if one slips out one things you must realize is I mean it. I really do mean it.

Early on David made me realize who I was and my potential. That after all was what initially drove me to him. Shortly after our first date David and I went on a walk. During this time he said, "You know Kezi I want to tell you something about yourself." I thought Oh great here it comes something totally cheesy or something really random but instead he surprised me. He then said "Kezi you are good." I had no clue what he meant by that but he went on to tell me that I was a good person. It was a really simple statement but I could tell he really thought that I was a good person. I have always been impressed by his ability to know where I am at. Mentally or physically he understands where I am at and what I need, almost as if he was reading my mind. Needless to say that was something that I needed to hear, something simple, something kind but definitely something genuine.

Later on while dating him he taught me another important lesson; that I can make it through anything. Once he shared a thought with me that starts by reading Romans 8: 35-39. I wont read the whole thing but the thought he shared with me starts in verse thirty-seven "in all these things we are more than conquers through him that loved us." David has highlighted the love that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for me. He has strengthen my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ through his simple example. I do hope that someday everyone will find someone who provides that strength for them because I cannot seem to imagine life without it. He is my best friend.

Try not to be too jealous that I am marrying the most handsome man alive!
