First of all, everyone wish my Daddy a 'Happy Birthday!' because today is his Birthday :)
Second of all, I have some things to share :)
I do not know any guys right now and therefore have no prospects of a future husband but I would like to share my idea of a relationship with a guy.
Personally, I don't want to touch a guy (or him touch me) unless it's my future husband but after we're married. I haven't always felt this way until I read about Josh & Noelle Goforth not holding hands or touching each other until after they were married. I was so inspired by that and decided that's how I want to be.
I've always wanted a pair of pretty, lacy gloves to wear, but especially now for another reason: I once shook hands with a young guy and found it weird to touch him (not that he felt funny, lol) because I'm not used to doing that, so to have those dainty little gloves would be perfect.
I also totally believe in Courtship and praying for God's guidance, waiting for His timing, etc. There is only one man for me and God knows who he is and though it is hard at times, I have to trust Him.
I'm not saying it's easy for me to just say, "Ah, God knows who he is so I won't think about anyone else", because it isn't easy!
I think, as girls, it is quite easy to look at a guy and think "Wow! Is he attractive!" (which I do and Mommy can attest to that!) but extremely difficult to rid oneself of the thought. I've had goofy little crushes on guys before and still struggle with that even though there is only one man for me and I pray for him!
My Mommy and Guitargirl can totally attest to my goofy little crushes (one in particular)!
There is a post I wrote before about a 'certain guy' I liked and he doesn't even know I exist, plus he's in a different Country and I will most likely never meet him. I know nothing important about him anyway and don't think he is a Christian, I do not know for sure. Sometimes, I still struggle with that, too.
Anyway, I want to save EVERYTHING for my future husband...and AFTER we're married.
My single years are supposed to be a time of growth and preparation for being a wife and mommy someday and I don't want to waste this time daydreaming about falling in love, there is no point in it. It will happen in God's time and my daydreaming about it isn't going to rush the process, rather it'll make it feel that time is going so slow and that DEFINITELY doesn't help!
I know it's hard, but as daughters of the One and Only King, we must trust Him and pray.
We must pray for patience, for peace, a greater trust in Him, and pray for our future husband, whether or not we know who he is. We don't have to pray for him by name, God has known since before there was time who he is :) We must rest in that!
It's not easy, but with prayer and talking with our loved ones and asking them for prayer, telling them when we're having a hard time with it, it makes it a bit easier. It's always wonderful knowing that you have someone praying for you....one of the best feelings in the world!
God bless!
Grace be with you!
Alive because of His Blood,

"(not that he felt funny)"
HAHAHA! XD
I don't read many Christian dating books anymore because I got tired of the authors writing down their own personal convictions like it was the gospel truth. I once read a book when I was younger that said girls should only wear black pantyhose all the time under their dresses. No scripture was quoted, of course. And anytime I meet anyone new I shake their hands, regardless of if they're men or women. I guess it's just something that I always did, so I don't feel weird about it at all. In fact, every Sunday at church after the second hymn you're supposed to turn and shake hands with the people next to you and tell them good morning and stuff like that. I kind of like it. Sometimes it's the only time people talk to me at church. And I don't think I could wear lace gloves for very long before I cracked. XD But yeah, that's just me.
"My Mommy and Guitargirl can totally attest to my goofy little crushes (one in particular)!"
Now, who on EARTH could that be?! ;) Ehehe. It's fine with me. After all, you listened to me through my Phil Joel phase...
Anyways, Happy birthday to your dad!!! :-D
That's cool. There were only a couple young guys that went to the Church we did and we never really talked but I didn't shake their hands. We were just kind of introduced to each other and that's it.
Lol, you don't know who I'm talking about??? :p
Yeah, but ya know, Phil's married so I knew you never meant it ;)
