That's why I made a list. =) It wasn't long. I mean, sometimes you need something on paper that tells you "HELLO!? Remember!!" It was stuff like, he has to love God, praying about courting me(or what we might call "having a special relationship", etc. There are some things that you can’t compromise on… That’s why I made a list. =) It wasn’t long.

I still don't think I deserve him. And yet it seems not too long ago that I had such a long list of imperitives of what a young man ought to be, along with an ego about as tall as my list was long. I never knew I'd be telling God, Lord, I can't possibly deserve him! Or every time I hear those three words, wanting to ask, Why? I think I'll be striving to deserve him, as the blessing from God that he is, for the rest of my life. When I think about how wonderful my man is I often feel a little ashamed.

Our pastor preached on the responsibility of fathers, realizing that any man, whether a father or not should strive to reach certain personal goals and levels of excellence. I wrote these down and then compared them to areas in my own life that need instruction and improvement should I ever wish to be a wife and mother. We really shouldn't lay all responsibility on their shoulders--expecting them to be perfect while accepting much less than that for us! I had a revelation of sorts on Father’s Day.

As a single girl, I am still in that stage of discerning what sort of man I really want to marry someday, and while that is not wrong, I needed that balancing factor. Is my heart so caught up in building ideals and desires that I neglect the preparation I need to do myself? <br/><br/>I have truly come to believe in the last several months that if I set my heart to become the women God wants me to be, the man God brings into my life is going to be exactly what I need and desire. My prayers for my future husband consist of the same. Just that the Lord would draw his heart close to Himself. I can trust the rest in God's hands.<br/><br/>Thank you again! I'm looking forward to the articles! I appreciated that post a lot.

Of course, we all know who she ends marrying, and who she is rejecting the whole time she is spouting off about her ideals. :D I know this isn’t really advice, but it made me chuckle. :o )
