Today was the day. The first day, of a month with absolutely no school. Hallelujah. Today was also the day that I left on a three hour drive to get home (Bismarck but technically Mandan, which is where I am at now!). For those three hours I thought about one thing...
Love.
More specifically, I thought about the love I will share with my future husband. My parents just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversery. I am so very blessed and thankful that they have stayed together and faithful after all these years. Each night, I pray for the man that Jesus will lead me too one day.
I am expecting the feelings of butterflies and the loss of words and all that good stuff... which is great because Jesus meant for us to feel those things! But I don't believe they will last forever. Yes, they will be there at different moments, but what about when times get hard?
Another thing I pray for each night, is that Jesus will love others through me. Because without Him, I really have no idea how to love at all. But I especially ask that he will love my future husband through me.
I believe marriage, if through Jesus, is an advancment of the gospel! I believe that if marriage is 100% focused on the Lord and spreading the Good news of salvation, it will out-last anything!.. So that is another thing I am going to be praying for.. that the Lord will use my marriage as an advancement for his kingdom.
Just thought you would like to know. (...And I only have like.. 3 followers? maybe 4.. so yeah, this is for you lucky people :)..)
