I’m going to talk about marriage. Something I feel like I, as a single Christian, love so much that it’s almost taboo. I get so distracted by it that I have to put a “do not touch this topic” sign on it lest I “fall into temptation”. But it’s on my mind, and God cares about what’s on my mind so here I go…
While I was on the World Race, God and I had a good and long chat about commitment. About what it means to commit my life to what I need to do now so that I can commit my life to the things I need to do later. Right now that commitment is school. And the Lord and I have decided that there isn’t quite enough room for someone else to fit in this equation…yet.
However I think about it. And I think about him.
I think about what I’m attracted to and what characteristics and qualities would work well with my characteristics and qualities. I think about these things knowing, from prior experience, that the real thing is going to be nothing like I’ve imagined. And I’m saying that in the best way possible. God has always done that; I think Snickers bar while He’s preparing to give me a one-pound box of Godiva.
But just the other day, God and I mulled it over and decided that I am to marry a world changer. Someone who is committed to changing the world as much as he is to God and to me. Because I am willing to be the same for that person. I am willing to change this world. And with Jesus I am able; it’s only fitting that my future husband is too.
So while listening to "I was here" (sung by Beyonce) at work today it came to no surprise that God reminded me of my future husband.
She sings:
I just want them to know
that I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone to happiness
Left this world a little better just because
I was here
