Task 6.... "The List" Qualities I want in a husband.... different wording, same routine
"For some reason, we've made indecision noble when it comes to dating." I really enjoyed this quote from one of the articles and find that it is so true.
Besides this quote though I must be honest in saying I am tired of the typical christian list making, dreaming of life in marriage week. I'm not needing more focus given to this very thing I want, but don't yet have. SO what I was thinking would be more beneficial for me to do is to list what qualities I really want in myself.
I really do want to love and trust the Lord specifically when things are awful, when nothing is turning out as planned, when I don't see another way out. I want to have scripture so hidden in my heart that I might not sin, but remember His wonders of old. I want to be an encouragement to all around me. I want my life to be characterized by loving the Lord through loving those He cares for; the widow, the orphan, the alien, the poor. I want to joyfully invest in lives around me, even when it is not appreciated. I want to be a dedicated teacher that strives for individual success and continues to challenge myself. I want to be counted on in intimate community within the church. I want to be a supportive wife who allows opportunities for her husband to truly lead. I want to be a godly mother that leads her children in God's truth and leaves them in God's hands.
Thank God that this is a process and at my ripe young age of 27 He still has time to work on me because oh how I am so not even there!
