The List

 

 

Philippians 4:6- Be anxious about nothing, instead, pray in everything. Let God know what you need and thank Him for all He has done for you.

 

Being a teenage Christian girl seeking the one man of my dreams was never really an easy task. As all of my friends were out there dating and trying to figure out what kind of person they even wanted I was sitting around waiting for "The One". Now there's nothing wrong with dating around... I see the benefits of that, but for me it was pointless. Why spend my time, money, and effort on someone who I wouldn't even be with forever, or even be friends with if things ended badly. I've known since I was 12 that when God sent me my prince charming that he would be my one and only prince charming... I just didn't know at the time that I had already met him. So... In order to prepare myself for that man of my dreams and figure out how I would find that man... I made a list. It consisted of things like:

 

Tall but not too too tall

Sarcastic

Independent

Plays an instrument

Loves God before me

And about 50 or 60 other things.

 

So the next step was to begin praying for this so called "Perfect guy" and to start asking and telling God specifically what I wanted and needed. As I grew up my list had a few changes made to it and I began to feel like God was changing my heart from what I wanted into what I really needed. I started writing letters to my future husband and the more I prayed the more God reveled to me about myself, what I needed to change, and what I really needed to look for in a man. Finally on May 5th 2013 (cinco de mayo) me and that amazing prince charming were brought together from being best friends for two years into having an amazing, Godly, and healthy relationship. It's been a little over a year and we are both positive that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together.

 

Now I'm not saying that it's mandatory for you to make a list to find this amazing partner and I'm not saying that you just have to date one person... All I know is that it worked for me and God wants us to tell Him what we need... So I asked and I received.
