Dear Future Husband, I've Been Praying For You

I pray that you are earnestly seeking and searching for God's ultimate plan over your life.

To my future husband,

I've been praying for you.

I pray for your well-being, your work, your schooling, your family. I pray that you are earnestly seeking and searching for God's ultimate plan over your life. I pray that, wherever you are, God is constantly shaping and molding you into the godly, kind, genuine, and passionate world-changer that you are intended to be. I pray that you are so hidden behind the cross that you are blind to the inconsistencies of this world. I pray that your love for Christ, His Word, and His work far exceeds the love you have for me.

I'm not gonna lie, when I was very young I made a list of the qualities I wanted in a future husband. While you may or may not be the tall, athletic guy with dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes that I desired when I was seven, I wholeheartedly believe that you are far greater than what I could ever imagine for myself.

Of course, I have envisioned (and even somewhat planned, thank you Pinterest) how our lives will be and how God is going to use us to radically change the world. How He will use your strengths to strengthen my weaknesses and use my strengths to strengthen yours. How He will use us to be each other's perfect compliment, relentless motivator, and biggest fan.

So, I have a few promises that I have made to God, to myself, and to you.

I am waiting for you. In every aspect of the word, I am waiting for you as a fulfillment of God's promises to us. However, in this time of singleness, I am continuing to focus on progress, to be better each day than I was the day before. And when we meet, I promise to always listen to, encourage, and support you. I promise to love you unconditionally just as Christ loves His church, even on our worst days. But above all, I promise to always seek Christ first and you second, making every decision based on God's will and purpose for our lives.

And although I am unsure of who or where you are, I am certain that God's timing is absolutely perfect and that He will fulfill His promises to us. I cannot wait to share every laugh, adventure, and memory with you, all for His glory.

"... for a cord of three strands is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12

With 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?

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.
