dating. its not for the faint of heart.

"An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life." Proverbs 31:10-12

I feel like this semester more than any I have had to defend my view on dating to everyone and their mom! Not many have agreed with the way I feel the Lord calling me to live it out- but I'm ok with that.
I'm choosing to fully live out Proverbs 31 to the best of my ability, which states a women of noble character "honors her husband ALL the days of her life." The Spirit has helped me to understand this to mean that I need to honor him right now. Before I have even met him. I feel called do this in how I talk, how I dress and how I act around boys...it all matters not only to my future husband but also with my reputation as a women of character. Who's heart belongs to the Lord first. I realize that most don't agree and that's fine. While I pray that some boy out there is guarding his heart for me in the same way, I'm realistic in realizing that may not be the case. However I know there is grace and forgiveness. But I can't worry about or even control what he is doing, I CAN control how I act. That's simply what I'm doing, living out my end of the bargain. If the Lord decides to bless me with a husband I want him to be proud and feel honored that I loved him (and the Lord) enough before I even knew him to guard my heart for him in that way. That's just my small rant for now.

Life is just tooooo good right now! I'm so blessed, the Lord continues to prove himself faithful and I fall more in love with His unfailing love everyday. That's all that I need. :) Merry Christmas friends!!
