When reading through most of my social media posts, blogs, writings or discussions, I would say that 90% of my content involves a "my wife and I" statement. Won't you agree? :) And all the more reason to!
When we began our journey of becoming one, our thoughts, experiences, inside jokes and even tears became living expressions that have brought us closer and have helped to define/refine our perspective on life and love.
Music is my passion, and it's often a major way I express myself when I can't find the right words to say. I've been working on my first LP "The Real Love Project" for the past four years, and it has been one of the most challenging processes, emotionally and mentally. I knew that I wanted to write a love album but I didn't want it to be "cookie cutter." I wanted it to be real, authentic and relatable. All I can say is be careful what you ask for...you just might get it!
During this time frame, I've witnessed many (not all) of the experiences I'm writing and recording. And as of this date, I know now, more than ever, what it means to love someone and to experience the power of real love.
I love my wife not only because she's beautiful, HOT, attractive, smart, funny, exotic, creative, loves God, music, me, is having my baby! lol! I could go on and on. But I also love her because she is my living example of what real love looks like, feels like. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...
Love... never... fails....
Another really cool way to experience love is to give love. And I want to do that by blessing a special couple with a unique Valentine's Day Basket filled with dinner tickets, a candle, sweets for your sweetheart and more!

In 2008, I asked God to help my dad beat cancer in exchange I would get back in church. He made it through and I agreed to listen to his word. I met Aretha Perry in 8/28/10 and talked to her every day ever since. I love her because she bends but will never break. I love her because when my Dad passed away 1/31/12 she prayed for me, as I cried on the phone. I love her because she makes me want to write love poems instead of I miss you poems. I love her because she is the best mix of everyone I know; my mother's attitude, my father's humor, my brother sarcasm, and my Grandmother's beauty! I love her because I know she is sent by God and I love and want whatever God has for me.

ReplyDeleteWhy I Love Her So Much
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and learning that love was earned, not given, I said a prayer. It went like this:
“Dear God, I pray that you would present to me a woman of You, because if she loves You, then she knows how to love.”
On a sunny Saturday afternoon in May, I met my future wife, Rachel, at church while attending a worship practice. She was wearing a bright blue sundress and all I could think about when I first saw her was, “Wow!” She was stunning.
We became engaged on October 3rd, 2012 and married shortly after on April 14th, 2013. To this day, I thank God for listening to me when I thought no one else was.
In her wisdom, I learn. By her beauty, I am in awe. As I walk in God’s grace, I’m by her side for eternity.
Thank you Will for sharing your story! You are our second entry! YeeHaw! We'll announce the winner on Wednesday evening!
