Have you ever been caught in a tug-o-war between being intrigued and fear? I have. That's exactly how I felt when I met the most beautiful woman that has ever graced my eyes-and I was scared to death to get to know her. How's that for a start? But it was almost as if she knew... So began this journey of getting to know and grow closer to the fascinating, magnificent soul that is Alexis Rivas. Each step of the way, I was met with such a mighty display of something I had never before confronted. I had always wondered what it felt like to be captivated by something or someone so much that it surpasses all reason and understanding (two things that, if you know me, are what have dictated my life). What I have come to realize is that my Heavenly Father has been showing me that He is the Author of what being in love feels like... Full of grace and truth. Reckless. Pure passion. This is what He feels towards us. And we get to encounter what depths the Creator's design brings us into. It seems as though the things that invoke the most wonder are the scariest to traverse... It is SO worth it. And this is only the beginning... -Devan Goforth
