Apr. 29, 2009 - Now is the Time to Prepare
"You know what?" a fifteen-year-old friend told Sarah, the authoress of Before you met Prince Charming. "It's really true. God's plans are so much better than we could ever imagine. My older brother is planning to be a pastor. He had such a long list of specific requirements for his future wife that our family used to tease him. We insisted that he'd never get married - that such a girl didn't exist. But then he met Lori! She is so perfect for him. She not only fits every one of his qualifications - she far surpasses them! It's incredible how God has brought exactly the wife he needed. He wasn't willing to lower his standards, and God blessed his faith."
Stories like this are exciting! They remind me that our God is powerful, faithful, and concerned about every detail of our lives. Now obviously, if we truly desire God's best in our lives, then we need to be willing to marry God's choice. It's equally important to recognize that a happy marriage takes two people. If we desire a godly, loving husband, we need to do our part by preparing to be the best marriage partner that we can be. This starts today. Right now.

Hi Mandy,
Great job on this! I really agree. It seems sometimes as if there's NEVER going to be someone who will meet your (in general) qualifications and standards, but God loves surprising us, I've found out! I am sure that if it is the LORD'S will for me to be married, He has the perfect plan for me. I am ready for surprises--and even miricales--to happen!
Love in Christ,
