relationships

The question: "What are you praying about your future husband?"

The answer: I'm not praying for specifics.

Time for reflection: "Why not?"

Thoughts on the subject: Up to this point in my life I have been basically content with my singleness. I have never wanted to be a whiny single girl just waiting around for a man. There is too much living to do! And I truly believe there is much to be done while I am single. But, there seems to be something happening. Could it be that He's preparing me? I don't think I'm ready - but I've always prayed that I would depend more upon God than any other person. Maybe it is the fact that there are some great people in my life who really make marriage appealing and God honoring.

Conclusion: I should be praying specifically about the man God has planned for me and I should be praying that I am willing to do something it. A little scary but mostly exciting to think that God has great plans for me!
