The beginning of a new journey

It all began the 21st of September 2006, the beginning of spring in our beloved land, Bolivia. A day in which the birds renew their song, bumblebees buzz over the flower fields in search of nectar, and the waterfalls begin to bring new life to the blossom of new flowers. However, that day is not only characterized by the beginning of spring, but is this day also considered the day of love in Bolivia. The day in which the friendship of my dearest friend and I had a whole new begin. It all started with a yellow flower at one hand and a Bible a the other. On a mountain top, when the sun, at the fall of the night was glowing the radiance of it's yellowish-orange rays reflected on dashling clouds above, filled up with a majestic colour display of the sun's last rays.

That journey, which began as a friendship, led us to this day, where things were about to change...

Together, my darling and I had taken a step of faith and had decided to go upon a journey where the end was uncertain, with a troublesome and treacherous way, though regardless the way, the step had been taken; we were moving forward toward our goal... today.

Taking moments of rest along the way, and enjoying every momemt we were together, did our hearts begin to enfold each other more and more. Despite of the distance which was beyond the reach of any bird who'd dare to fly so high or far away, had we learned to know that love would find a way... this way, for the sake of love... in which neither time nor distance had been able to separate us, such valuable frienship which was enhanced more and more, eventually turned out to be a love so pure, that as when gold comes out purified out of the furnace, our love through difficulties and tumbleness had learned to survive and emerge as the most valuable possession we both had. It was a possession not to be lost...

The time has come to decide, a decision which had been mentioned 2 years ago: we'd be together once again, within the schemed time of two years. During that period of patience and hardship had I learned to value what I have and I learned that what God has set aside for you, remains only for you. It's no one else's possession than yours. Learn to value it. I had almost lost my most precious possession due to my lack of faith and had fallen along the way; however, God taught me to stand up, fight the good fight, and believe for what's been given unto me. He's the one who brought us so far, that here we are, together once again.

Hidden, far away from the reach of men's red tape, had we decided to journey into a beautiful isolated area where nature overwhelmed with peace, which solely God's creation knows to give. In that place, at that moment had the most important decisiont of our lives been made. The unfolding of years of patiënce and faith on each other but above all, God had led to this turning point: the beginning of a whole new life... our pact of sacred love.
Under God's eyes and the protection of His realm, have we chosen to be one...

Despite any storm which may have been found along the way, can we finally declare that regardless of it all, with God's blessing and protection above our heads, we are now one. May the Lord our God be altogether glorified!

He is our Father, He is our King, and we shall live as one whole for Him! :-D
