After lunch we went to the beach,we met Paula, Rafaela, Lucas and Beatriz as soon as we arrived, played volleyball, walked hand in hand, took several pictures and lay in a row on the sand waiting for the sunset. If we have a chance to live life intensely, we have to do that , and enjoy every second as if it were the last.

The dinner table was perfect, when the cake came with my name on it to wrap up the night
I had to get up and thank God, my heart was full of gratitude, I looked around ,I had the most important people in my life around me , my parents, my three best friends, Nicolas, aunt Luh, and God certainly was and is and will always be among us.
Isabella: today was one of the happiest days of my life, and all I had was a day with you my beloved ones, and you are the most important people in my life, the people I love the most in this world. I need to pray and thank God for all of this.
"My beloved God, thank you for this incredible and perfect day, thank you for another year of life, only you can look inside me and see how happy I am, thank you for these amazing people that you put in my way and today as a part of my life. , my heart has only gratitude to you for that, thank you, you are perfect Lord, perfect in everything you do, my life, my ways and everything I feel is delivered into your hands, I know I can trust you , I know you have the best for me today and always, my we can end this day with a blessed night. Amen "
Nicolas: amen!
Lorenzo: I also want to say something ,he got up from his chair with a glass of champagne in his right hand. I really mean it when I say that your mother and I love you very much, today you are a beautiful and wonderful woman, and we are proud of you my precious daughter, I am proud of you he declared he hugged me and give a real parental kiss
Isabella: thank you dad. I love you all! now let's eat!
They sang happy birthday to me, they gave me gifts, we ate, we smiled, we celebrated. A wonderful night to end such a perfect day.
I woke up around 9:30 in the morning, good thoughts through my head telling me that it would to be another wonderful day. I took a deep breath as I looked at the light curtains on the window swayed by the wind, I got myself up, knelt there by the bed, and prayed to God.
"Beloved God, my king, how I love you, how good it has been to meet you, I have never felt so good in my entire life, and may I remain feeling this way until the end of my days. When I look at the sky, I know that you are watching me, the gratitude in my heart for so much love and care is immense, thank you for another morning, another new day, another chance! may your angels will always be around me to get rid of all evil, may your hands will always be extended over my life, filling my days with peace, blessing me, edifying me, molding me. Teach me to please you, teach me to thank you in the rightest way, teach me to pray, to talk to you and ask for the right things, because you are better than me and you know everything I need. My beloved lord, I want to introduce you to my courtship with Nicolas that started yesterday, bless us with a lot of love, confidence, friendship, respect and everything else that a couple needs to last together forever, be the basis of our relationship, make us learn and grow together, may the love and affection for each other grow more and more, thank you for everything God, amen! "
After breakfast I sat on the porch pondering, I put on my headphones and started reading a book while charging my phone to be able to talk to Nicolas, after a long time there, I went back to my favorite place in the house, my shelter, my room. I lay on the bed and there I was. waiting for a message from my beloved one
"Nicolas: Good morning, girlfriend, I miss you already"
The smile was automatic, the way I was happy, even a blind man would've notice
"Isabella: Good morning to the most beautiful boyfriend, I miss you too"
I stared at the ceiling waiting for answers, while on the nightstand next to the bed there were some flowers from yesterday, I passed my finger on them them delicately remembering the day before, every detail of the happiest day, God was certainly blessing me with an incredible person.
Nicolas: do you want to do something this afternoon?
Isabella: I do, do you have anything in mind?
Nicolas: not exactly but we will figure something out together, can I come and see you at 3 pm?
(Together) sounds really sweet in my ears
Isabella: yes, this time is great for me
Nicolas: great my princess, see you at 3 pm then, kiss.
Isabella: ok, a kiss my prince
I couldn't wait to see him, just talking to him made my day, who would have said months ago that today I would be in love even dating a perfect guy, Nicolas can't imagine how good he makes me , how much his presence counts around me. calms me down, it's like a kiss on the soul, but it couldn't be any more different, what comes from God brings me peace, transmits calamity and all those motley feelings, everything God does, he does it in a complete and perfect way and that made me even more certain that Nickolas was my chosen person of God, and now I do believe that me and him are made for each other.
Isabella: you may enter I said when I heard knocking on the door
Marcele: food is ready Isabella, I will serve it , would you like to have lunch already?
Isabella: I nodded , answering my mon and soon after we went down the stairs together towards the dining room
I joined my parents at the table, had lunch, talked and then helped my mother cleaning up the mess from lunch, for Aunt Luh was on vacation. When we finished, I changed and went to the leisure area, the day was perfect for a bath in the pool, and I ended up in the water.
Marcele: are you going out? She Questioned as she saw me in the sitting room waiting for Nicolas
Isabella: no, I'm just waiting for Nicolas to arrive, he said he would be here any minute
Marcele: oh yes, my gorgeous daughter. I'll be in the room if you need me
Isabella: thank you
I was looking at the door anxiously, and minutes later he arrived, as always neat and and smells good
Nicolas: hi smiley said grabbing me by the waist and kissing me
Isabella: hi good looking, I missed you
Nicolas: not the way I did
Isabella: is it?
Nicolas: sure, he said and we kissed again, What do you want to do today?
Isabella: anything with you looks good
Nicolas: what a coincidence, I was think about the same. Just being with you already makes me delighted
Isabella: what do you think about going out, buying something to eat and staying at home enjoying each other and watching some nonsense ?
Nicolas: perfect my love
I couldn't help smiling from ear to ear when I first heard him calling me "my love". We went out to buy things to eat and when we got back I pulled him straight to the room where we would be more willing and free of glances. We chose a new series to watch together, I lay on his lap and he caressed my face and hair over and over, we stayed there enjoying each other's hugs , kissing each other, smelling, and he looked at me and smiled with that look in his eyes as it was saying I don't need anything more , I was hopelessly in love.
Isabella: I hate sad endings
Nicolas: I can see that , I mean look at your gloopy face immediately I looked at myself in the mirror
We stayed there for a while longer talking until Nicolas left, I feel my pocket vibrating with a notification
Conversation on:
Rafaela: hello sister ?
Isabella: Hi friend, what's up ?
Rafaela: I'm not good ,this distance relationship was not a good idea.
Isabella: do you want to breakup
Rafaela: No , I just don't want to this distance. anymore
Isabella: Don't be like that, God never puts someone in our lives by chance, everything has a purpose, just believe
Rafaela: I do want to stay with him, get married, buy a house far from the city and have children, and spend the rest of our lives together
Isabella: ask God for this to happen and everything will be all right, trust me, love supports everything!
Rafaela: it is that sometimes I get tired of this distance you know, I keep asking myself: is it going to work? Will we really be together? will he find someone else and give up on me?
Isabella: There is no reason for him to seek another one if he really likes you, if he wants you and he has already made that clear, stop with those silly fears and negative thoughts, listen ,in spite of the distance he asked you out right . Wait for him a little bit more. And If you see that it is not going anywhere, end it up yourself .
Rafaela: I'm going to do this. I want it so badly. I really do
Isabella: to work things out you can't just give up on first obstacle
Rafaela: Thank you
Isabella: I will always be by yourside whatever you need
Rafaela: me too
Isabella: see you later, kisses
Rafaela: kisses
I walked to the bedroom undressed and showered, chose a flowery dress, black heels, a hairpin and got ready for the devotion where I would go with Nicolas. On Sundays it always starts earlier. When we got there, we prayed side by side, we worshiped the Lord sang in unison, and together we entered the presence of the father. A real gift and a great privilege to feel the love of God taking care of our being, to be able to claim it, to worship it, to seek it and truly feel that it has come to meet us.
I liked it a lot, and on second thought, nothing in this life is more important than denying and totally consecrating our living to this God, everything here is empty and is transitory, so let us seek what is eternal.
I felt renewed after that divine meeting.
When it all finished Nicolas went back with me home.
We spent some time together in the room talking about the message that was delivered at the meeting then, we kissed goodbye and he left.
