An Open Prayer To My Future Wife

These are the things I pray for my bride to be.

I know that we are both clueless as to who the other is, but I believe that is what makes the prayers I pray for you on a daily basis that much more heart-felt. I am not trying to toot my own horn, I am just humbly bowing my head to seek God’s face on your behalf. It may seem strange, but I know that it will all be worth it one day.

I pray that no matter where you are or what you are doing that God’s grace and favor stay by your side. This world is a dangerous place, and I cannot be there to protect you. That is why I pray that our loving Father places His hands of protection on you and leads you safely to me. I pray that God not only protects you physically but also mentally and spiritually. It is my prayer that He will keep your soul and heart from harm; while simultaneously preparing the both of us for each other. I rebuke all acts of evil against you, and that no plans of Satan’s shall prosper. I know that God is able to keep you safe. I haven’t forgotten that you were His before you were ever mine.

I pray that God grows your ministry. I know that the Good Lord will place a calling on both of our lives to be completed together. With that being said, I know that there is a ministry that you are doing now by yourself. I pray that it brings glory to God. Find yourself in who he wants you to be and serve Him with everything you have in you. Let Him work through you and show you the path he requests you to take. I pray that you stay in his will, and become a great woman of God.

I pray that you are not lonely and that you have surrounded yourself with Godly friends and role models. Finding a good friend these days is near about impossible, but I have prayed that God will give you the types of friends that will pick you up when you are down and will also strengthen your relationship with God instead of hinder it.

I pray for your happiness. You see, when the Lord shows me who you are, I will promise to make you happy as long as we both shall live, but I do not want your happiness to be completely dependent on me. If that was the case, then you would be living a life of misery now, and I certainly do not want that. I pray that you find joy in the things that you do, and that your happiness is rooted in God. I want you to be happy with me, don’t get me wrong, but truthfully, I want to add to your happiness not be the sole reason for how you feel.

This part of my prayer could be considered selfish, but I do pray that you are on your way. I will continue to pray for you every day regardless of when you may enter my life, yet the anxiousness that is built up on the inside of me grows stronger and stronger as each day passes. I know that everything will happen in God’s timing, and that I should not rush His plan. Just know that when we meet, my arms and heart will be open, and most importantly, I cannot wait to live the life God has planned for us. That is my prayer for you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
