While I Wait For You: A Letter To My Future Husband

Dear future husband/lover/best friend/father of my children,

First of all, I can't wait to meet you. Or, if I have already met you, I can't wait to know your place in my life. I am so excited for our future together. I think of it very often. I think of how fun marriage is going to be and how adorable our kids will be. As for now, I am waiting for you. I know that our Father's timing is perfect and I do not want to awaken love before its time. During this time, I will better myself for your good, and I will pray for you endlessly.

While I wait for you, I am praying and trusting God to prepare my heart for you. I am learning to put God before everything else and rely on Him. I will put my hope, joy, and security in Him alone. I am learning to trust Him when my days are filled with worries. None of this will change when we get married. I will love Jesus first, then you. Jesus is the reason I am here, and I love Him more than anything. I want to live my life for His glory and I want my life to be full of His love, both from Him and radiating from me. I long for my Savior's heart. I hope you do, too.

While I wait for you, I will learn to cook and clean well. I want to do this because I want to serve you for the rest of our lives. I hope you learn to serve me as well. I will learn to communicate well, not just by social media or technology. Communication is very important in a relationship. I will learn to be honest even when it is hard because I want you to always be honest with me. I will learn true trust, so that I do not have to be afraid to trust you.

While I wait for you, I will pray for you. I'm praying that you are a Christian. If not, I pray that you will become one. I pray that God will prepare your heart to hear and respond to God's call. I pray that you will love God with a deep, unswerving love. I pray that you will trust Him always, because His plan for your life is greater than anything you could ever think of. I pray that above all else, you will seek our heavenly Father with all of your heart, and that you will find him everywhere you look. I pray that when times are tough and when times are good, that you will praise Him, and put your faith and trust in Him. I pray that God will teach you to pursue my heart and love me even when I am a brat. I pray that you will learn patience, because you have me for better or for worse. I wish you good luck on my worst days. I pray that you stay humble and have a servant's heart. I pray that you will never stop growing in your relationship with Jesus.

While I wait for you, I will pray for our marriage. I'm praying that first and foremost our marriage will glorify God. I pray that we will trust Him in all circumstances and follow His calling. I pray that if it is God's will to bless us with children that we will be Godly parents.

I don't know what our life together will look like, but I am so excited about it. I can't wait to watch endless hours of Netflix with you, eat with you everyday, be your best friend, and most of all love you forever.

I love you so,

Your future wife

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
