For the single men and women, do you ever sit and just wonder who your future spouse will be? What they will look like, what their career choice is, where they live, if you have met them before, or if they even exist? All of these questions are relevant in my everyday life. In December of 2015 I was just browsing through Pinterest and several pins I was scrolling by all included something about future husband, or future spouse. It really caught my attention because, I constantly wonder who I will be marrying one of these days. Some of the pins were: how to prepare to be a Godly woman, prayers for my Future husband, and also letters for my future husband. I really looked in to the prayer and letter writing. Since I have started writing and praying for my future husband, my outlook on the whole situation has been getting better. Going about life everyday as a single, young adult is kind of not fun. I wish I could have that special man that I can go and talk to about my day and to hear about his day. Also share where we feel that God is working in our lives.
In April of 2016, I was listening to a radio station and a song came on that was talking about 6’2, so i proceeded to look up the artist and her name is Marie Miller. In this song “6’2” she is talking about her “somebody” a couple of the verses go like this
Lord I’ve been Prayin’
For somebody I’ve never seen
And I don’t care what he looks like
As long as he loves me.
I’ve been gettin’ so lonesome
Waiting for him to come around
But if you're teaching me patience
I’m willing to wait this one out.
But Lord Take your sweet sweet time.
This song just really makes me have a whole new out look on the whole situation, because God knows when the perfect time for us to meet is and “I’m willing to wait this one out.” The very last thing that I want is a rushed relationship that is not glorifying God.
Writing to My Future Husband
I do not write to my future husband every day but I write him about once a month. This one time a month is one of my favorite times because I feel as if I am sitting with him and just talking about what has been happening in my life and things that I think he might want to know. Within the letters, I explain what I “hope” our relationship will look like and what activities we could do together to reach out to the needy while also growing in our relationship with Christ together as one. Often time when writing him I find myself getting very emotional. The emotions just really include multiple reasons, the over abundance of joy, and just thinking about how God is working in both of our lives at the same time to prepare for when we are both ready in our relationship with Christ, to then pursue a relationship with one another.
Prayers for My Future Husband
Praying for my future husband is very important to me, because not only do I want to pray for him I want to pray for those that he interacts with and his mentors; that they are able to give him guidance and support to further his relationship with Christ! Also, I include prayers about how God will prepare him to support me through all of the struggles I come across with my ADHD. I pray that he has a heart and passion for kids like I do, and just that he has a servant heart. The time that I sit anxiously waiting to just know will all be worth it someday! :)
