What To Expect From Your Future Wife Who Is Chasing Hard After The Lord.

Dear Future Husband,

I am unsure if the Lord has brought you across my path or not, but I know His timing for us will be perfect. Although, there are a few things I want you to know. One thing I have noticed is that social media and the internet is filled with all these expectations us women have for you as men, but very rarely do we express what you can expect from us as women pursuing Christ. Therefore, I want you to know a few of the many things you can expect from me.

You need to expect that you will not be the first and most important man in my life. And honestly, I don't want to be the most important person in your life because in order to have a healthy, godly relationship, God needs to be the person we put first in our lives. By putting God first I will be able to love and respect you as I am called to do. When we adequately pursue God together we will grow closer together as one.

You need to expect respect. Know that as a woman after God's heart I am called to respect you and your decisions.

You will be appreciated. A lot of times women like to have these expectations for ways that they can feel appreciated by their man, but know that as much as I want to be appreciated, you will be appreciated as well.

You can expect grace. None of us are perfect and I am far from it, but because of God’s grace in my life I can give grace to those I love. So days you feel like you’ve failed, just know there is grace.

You will be prayed for. I am praying for you now and never will stop.

You can expect a best friend. I will want to be there for the good days and the bad. I will be your best friend. You can expect encouragement and support from me on a daily basis.

Lastly, I want you to know that I am already thanking God for you daily and will continue to do so until the Lord calls us home someday! I want to thank you ahead of time for being a man after God’s heart.

Love,

Your Future Wife

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
