God is writing my love story ♥

As I'm growing near to the end of my dating fast I've realized how blessed of life God has given me. I have so much inside of me that was never there before. God has allowed me to push through many trials and obstacles over this last year of my life that I never thought I could. Over these last few months of my fast I’ve asked God for a complete change in me and completely new level of love to rise up from within me for His people. God has put a passion in me to look at someone and love them more than I ever could before.

I asked God to help me see the type of woman I want to be to my future husband someday and these are just a few we came up with…

 I want to be the type of woman that is lost in God that I don’t ever want to get out instead my husband would have to come in just as deep to ever fall in love with me.

 I want to be a woman that can always look for a deeper way to show love to each person I’m in contact with each day.

 I want to be a woman who isn’t afraid to chase her dreams of wanting a family.

 I want to be a woman who raises a Godly family and sets the example of that family with each step she takes.

 I want to be a woman who is humble and can accept change.

I want to be a woman who can support my husband no matter what.

God has been working on all these things in my heart over these last few months of my fast. I believe God has some big things in store for my future and the man I am going to be with down the road. I haven’t only been talking to God about what I want to be in a future relationship, but I have been talking to him about what type of man I hope to one day marry as well…

I want a man who has God first no matter what.

I want a man who isn’t afraid to tell me what he feels and doesn’t hide things from me.

I want a man who supports me and respects me.

I want a man I would be proud to have a family with one day.

I want a man who loves me for all my imperfections.

I want a man who is loving and gentle.

I want a man who isn’t afraid to admit he has problems, but also isn’t afraid to ask for help to get through them.

I want a man to search more for what God has in the future than dwell on what happened in his past.

I believe God had me start this fast at exactly the right timing. It was hard at times I won’t lie, but as I look back over these last 11 months I couldn’t be happier for what God helped me overcome. I cannot wait to see what the future holds. I know God has s beautiful love story coming my way and I can’t wait. I’m in no rush right now because I’m enjoying my Daddy and me time. Getting to know God and falling more in love with him each day is the best thing ever to me. (:

‎"When God knows you’re ready for the responsibility of commitment He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances. Wait patiently, don't waste your time searching and wishing. Grow and be ready, you'll see, God will give you a love story far better than you could ever dream of."

-this was a quote I read recently that I have learned to love. I can’t wait until God brings that person I’m supposed to marry into my life. I’m just like every other girl who wants to fall in love with the perfect guy. (: I can’t wait until God reveals that person to me, but as for now I’m just happy to sit back and watch as He is still slowly writing out my love story.

God knows the desires of my heart & I know he would never let me settle for less than I deserve. So, as I only have a little less than 2 months left with this fast my goal is hold closer to God than ever before because I can definitely feel where the devil is trying to guide me astray. I am loving the ride so far on this journey.

Jesus, You are my strength.
