You all knew this was coming... This is a teen girl's blog after all.
My grandmother has taken up teasing me greatly about a boy. She thinks we'd do well together. We have talked about how God's will applies. My part is trying to not think about it, and focusing on God, and waiting on Him. She has (we have) been having great fun in comments here and there.
I have a list of must haves for any future relationship, being good friendship, or husband.
the 8 things on this list are:
-Relationship with God(not just "saved", but a relationship with Jesus Christ)
-Honest.(To himself, and others)
-Respectful(to everyone!)
-Control of temper.
-Willing to hear and listen.
-Hard worker.(Without prodding)
-Nice/kind.(Tenderhearted, meek, humbled)
-Forgiving.
I also have a bonus list for a future husband which has 3 things on it:
-Handsome.
-Have a (good) job.
-Good humor.
I also have a mental list of things I need to work on to be the friend and wife God would have me to be.
While I still have so very far to go (doesn't everyone?), I have come so very far.
Some things I am working on are:
-Taking things at face value.
-Thinking more on things of God, and less on me.
-Willingness to serve all others, not just those I like.
-Learning more of Christ to be able to share when the opportunity arises.
-Letting my heart break over the right things, and forgetting the other things.
-Not passing blame.
-Not holding someone else's actions against other people.
-Not thinking the worst all the time.
-Letting God lead.
...and others.
1 cor1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Excellent list! It is a blessing to watch you blossom <3 I love you :)
