Alatariel  has been telling me that I need to post more on topics than just The Maker’s Diet  post, and my daily life.
So, in light of her post: “Yes, even a Childless Woman is supposed to be home. The Bible says so.”

Here is something on the same strand that I have been waiting to post til the right time!! NOW!!

    As of late I have been worrying about how will I know my husband and when will I meet him. We don’t spend time with other people very often and we don’t go to a church or youth group, and I have found myself worrying about meeting my husband.
    If I keep thinking about it, the worry turns into impatience. But then I remember that God already has him picked out. He already knows when we will meet. He is already mine. Then the Peace of God comes over me and I forgot about it for a couple of days. Then it strikes again. I know it’s the Devil. He knows how much I want to be married, and he plays on it. But praises be. I have Almighty God on my side. I know that God is helping me fight off these attacks when they come and I come out more patience.

    God is watching out for my husband and me. Honestly I don’t even worry about my husband’s purity. I know and believe that God is watching over us both and helping us fight those temptations. I pray my husband doesn’t worry about my purity either. I believe that we both know and trust each other to save the sacred part of us for each other.
    I know that the man that God has for me has the same ideals and beliefs as me, so we will agree and not have contention and strife between us,

    Oh, to have to wait to be a wife!! I long to have my husband confide in me the secrets of his heart and tell me his deepest feelings. To be the only one that can comfort him, besides God.
    I want to be a wife who makes a safe refuge for my husband, so that when he walks through the door of our home all his cares are dropped there at the door. He will have no cares at his safe haven. He will rest easy, knowing that I have taken care of the things that he works so hard for.
    I want to be the helpmeet that is a perfect match to his needs. I want to be able to reduce the stress that life will lay on him.

    I am excited that I will have the man of my dreams soon. I have dreams of him, but I can’t see his face. All though I know when I see him I will know that he is the one.
    I have so much love for this man; I can’t wait to give it to him with my heart. I can’t wait till we are one. It will be the best thing in the world to spend my life with him and have God lead us.
    It is hard to remember that I have to pray for him daily. I also have to pray for me daily. I have a controlling spirit. I am afraid that I will be a controlling wife. I do not want that. I pray that God will help me to get this spirit of control under His control before I get married.
    I’m preparing myself to become what my husband will need. It’s hard to go through these trials. But I know these trials that I go through now, as a young adult will help me be that wife. The only way I can do this is with God’s help, and I pray it comes soon!!
    I know my wifely journey is just beginning. I pray I can fulfill my task the way I am supposed too.
GOD HELP ME!!

    I wrote poem about my husband that I would share with you, but I am skeptical about putting it on here, because I don’t want someone to steal it.
    If you would like to see it please email me and I will send it to you!! It’s a little better than my Life Insurance one!! Sorry!!

    Just the other day I looked at CUTIE Ca-bug and just a big gush of Love shot over me and I then realized how much I want to be a mother!!

    I plan to stay home with them. I can’t wait till I am able to teach them how to be Biblically sound men and women and know that God is Lord, to teach them at home how to be homekeepers and men of integrity, to make them feel safe, secure and fulfilled. I hope to be the kind of mother my Mom is.  

    I know that some of you probably don’t agree with staying home NO MATTER what, but I believe that is what the God breathed Bible says. He also says that He will provide all my needs, so I won’t worry about scenarios that might arise. Because there is a magic word there: Might. Those scenarios that I might worry about might not even happen, so why waste time worrying about them??

    I hope that this post has encouraged all those single young women out there that might be feeling the same to just let God handle it and to keep those feelings inside you.

Thanks for stopping by "Daily" at the "Planet"

Wow Amanda! You certainly have it together. How I wish at your age I had half the wisdom, patience and grace you do. I know God has a wonderful plan for you as He does for all of us.
I feel very blessed to call such a wonderful young lady my friend!

being in your shoes. I remember having the same desires. I grew up with a daddy that wasn't Christian and how I knew I didn't want to marry anybody but a Christian Man. When I had had it with the guys I knew and just put my totoal heart for Him( God ) that is when I met my sweetheart little did I know that he would be from Cananda. I could have never asked for a better husband. God provided in a way I could have never dreamed of. You to will have your own beautiful story. Keep with the same heart that you have and God will honor it and provide just the right godly man....in His time. God Bless my SSiC.
In Him,

I very much agree with you, it's hard to wait, but I have a feeling it's very worth it. God knows what our story is and we just have to wait for it to unfold. I hope your waiting goes well!

I'm sure your words will bless other teens your age as they wait patiently upon the Lord and his perfect timing. You have much more spiritual insight on marriage then I did at your age~ keep growing in Gods grace!

YOu remind me SOOO much of ME at your age! :)
Except I was into Remington Steele rather than SuperMan.

But I specifically meant the longing for my adult life! (God blessed me with marriage at age20 and my oldest daughter 2 years later. Then, the babies came one right after another for the next 8 years. Now I long for MORE babies!!! :)

Oh, what a great post! That's a re-reader! lol. Isn't it so exicting to think about what God might have in store for us regarding our future spouse?
I would love to read your poem, you can email it to me.
I answered your tag. :)

Amanda, your post really touched me. I almost cried reading it!! I feel much like you do. I desire so badly to get married to a great, godly man and to be his helpmeet. And I can't to have my own child!! Just holding a new-born baby makes me full of joy and excitement when one day that day will come!!

I wish girls could look at things the way you can. Why can't girls look and dream about the future? I think that's a part of where their mistakes and bad decisions come in, because they cannot see the future. They don't think about how their decision is going to affect not only them and their relationship with God, but their future husband too. It's so wonderful when girls do consider that....

Your post was so encouraging, and yes, we just have to trust in the Lord, and pray for patience.
I would love to read your poem! I can't give you my e-mail address on this, but I can give it to you on the forum.

Have a great day, and God bless you!!!

I agree with you, but I think we as young girls should work to be content in the situation God has placed us in. Don' t get me wrong - I want to get married and birth children too - I just think we should try and be patient and content.

I read a book called "So Much More" by Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin. In reading it I was impressed with the great responsibility we as young girls at home have. We have the responsibility to help our siblings grow up to be godly Christian people and we have the responsibility of helping our Fathers and Mothers.

The book I mentioned talks a lot about helping your Father and being under your Father's protection. You can be a tremendous help to your Father in just the small things.

I really enjoy reading your blog! We sound a lot alike in many ways.

Love in Christ,

I am glad you did not read that post then. The book is very sad in the beginning, but hang in there. I think that when Mr. Murdstone married Clara he would have gotten her money and her house, so I think technically the house is now his. But I could be wrong. In any case, it's very sad at first, but it does get better!

Sorry I'm not logged in; it says my password is wrong, even though it's the same one I've always had. :-) Guess the whole maintenance thing may have messed stuff up! LOL

I completely agree with you; like I said on Jocelyn's blog. There are three babies in the homeschool group that I see pretty often - Gordon, Anna and Gabriel. I love them all; I love babies in general!! I can't wait to be a wife and mother, to keep house and educate my children. I want to be my husband's best friend, and as you said, a safe refuge.

But, I don't think staying at home can be set as absolute. :-) That's just my opinion; in my lifetime, (Which I know hasn't been very long, but long enough to see certain things), I've seen that some things have been made absolute by God. Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not lie, etc. I know you know the the Ten Commandments, so there's no need to list them all. :-) And yes, if the only reason you're working is to suit your richer lifestyle, or to "fufill" a void that has been made by society's standards, then you need to quit your job, watch your babies and re-evaluate your priorities. However, life "has a way" of making changes, and suddenly your perfect plan is destroyed and you're not in the place you thought you'd be.

In one place, the Bible says not to worry about the future, yet in another place it says to think of how your actions will affect the future. (Not the exact words, I know.) What we have to remember is that God speaks to us through His Word. So while the verse about not worrying speaks to one person, the verse about thinking about the future speaks to another.

I try very hard not to judge people, as I have no place or authority to judge them; I may not have the same sins, but I have plenty of sins in other areas. And it is my feeling that by saying women need to be at home no matter what, you are indirectly judging the woman who doesn't. I'm not saying this is what your purpose for writing this post is; in fact, I'm completely sure that the reason you posted was not to judge someone, but to share your feelings with others. Yet, there are so many different people, in different situations, where an absolute for you cannot be absolute for them.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I completely agree with you, as I agree with Jocelyn. I'm just not going to use the same approach, and state my absolutes, as it could cause lots of controversy and conflict.

Don't misunderstand me, I think your post was very well written, and although I'm not at that point in life yet, it gives me a better understanding of how I want to handle it when I do reach that time. So thank you!

On a different note: Did you get POTC 2? Are you going to? I know that's completely different from what I was saying before, but I just wondered. LOL
