"This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other."

1 John 4:10, 11 NLT (via thouartloosed)

E: “Are you going to be at the Baccalaureate?
J: “I don’t know, I want to. I’m gonna try.”
E: “Okay, well you should definitely be there.”
J: “Okay. I have to buy a gun that day.”
E: “Well, bring your gun.”
J: “Then we can take pictures with the gun!”

Basically the definition of our relationship.

“Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend? And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand if you want to. I think this is how love goes, check yes or no ♫ I love my George Strait singing, pro-life, Catholic Republican, America loving best friend.

"You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole."

"See I’m trying to find my place, but it might not be here where I feel safe"

E: “I feel like I’m irreparably broken.”
J: “We all feel that way. I’m broken. Everybody’s broken.”
E: “But I don’t like feeling this way, I just want to be okay.”
J: “Well, that’s what I’m here for. We help put each other back together when we fall apart.”

Friendship is the glue that holds life and faith together.

"The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet."

“I am praying for you. Know that I will be here for you whenever you need…just let me know. Thanks for being a great help in my transition to college and being an awesome mom. You are a joy in life and always make my day brighter…make sure you never lose that happiness. You da man Erica, and I love you.” <3 Kevin

I don’t think your soul mate is necessarily the person you end up marrying and living happily ever after with. I think your soul mate enters your life at a time when you need them, and they just complete you for a while. They give you hope, and they make you a better person, and they see your potential and don’t let you be anything less. They’re your go-to person because they’ll tell you the truth even if it hurts. Because they believe in you and challenge you. For some strange reason you’re connected, and maybe you were always supposed to find each other.

This boy is a saint, and I would not have made it to this point without him. He’s a life changer.
