second letter

Dear Jacob,

i can't believe my ears... you chose me over Leah? and she's the older one... i wonder why father never disagreed... you're asking my hand in marriage? are you out of your mind? we just met... well, i believe a few days ago... i feel happy already - imagining my life with you for the rest of my days...

sometimes, i watch you as you bring the sheep home... and wonder.. what did i ever do to deserve such a man like you? maybe the Lord your God who has brought you here wants me to know Him, too...

i will try to pray to Him to keep you safe and watch over you... i know He will... He brought you here safe and sound and whole... and so i know that as you go to shepherd the flock every day, He will be with you...

thank you for the wild flowers you gave yesterday... that made me smile and i went to bed happy... the small talk was all i needed to be sure that what i heard was true... thank you...


waiting...
