Love

I figured since I referenced Jeremy in my last blog post, I should probably bring you dear readers up to date. I try to focus on ministry not my personal life here, but I feel that this IS a ministry, so I felt comfortable spilling the beans to you ladies!

I am now in a courtship with a wonderful guy. 

Yay for love! :)

Jeremy and I pretty much ignored each other for about 8 months. Kinda funny, actually. 

He is a bit taller than I am. Those of you who know who I am personally will laugh at this. I find it miraculous that we agree about almost everything from a doctrinal and theological standpoint. Plus, the man is romantic, and what girl would pass that up? 

But, I guess the thing that attracted me most to Jeremy, and led me to say "Yes! Absolutely!" to him, was his love for God. I knew he would love God more, and that was something that I felt very strongly that I wanted in a potential husband.

Thank you God, for this new season, and for bringing such a great man after Your heart into my life. May we look to You alone and pursue Your will alone. Give him strength to lead me to Your throne of grace, and grant me the joy to submit and serve him whenever possible. May others see You, and Your love, and Your glory through us. I pray that we would walk in purity and sincerity. You have set us apart, and I pray that we would not take the call of Christ upon our lives for granted. Help us to serve You alone, help us to start a legacy of love founded upon Your Son. Be the center of our lives, and our relationship. Help us to evaluate our hearts and lives in accordance to Your Word, and make changes if we need to. Provide me with a heart of acceptance and humility to respect him in a way that is honoring to him, and encourages him; not only as a brother in Christ, but as a boyfriend. Help me to honor him, not only with the words I speak, but by the condition of my heart towards him. Lord, be near to us.
