I felt like writing, but most anything I write wouldn't make sense to you right now. The title of this message stumps me even now and so, I'm just gonna write whatever comes off the tip of my fingers...

Still, I don't know what to say :D Okay! I'm debt free! I give ALL my praises to GOD! Hallelujah. He provided for all my needs. And he provided in spite of my bad decisions. I don't have a credit card debt now thanks to him.
I'll pay for my apprenticeship in cash (more probable than paying cash monthly) and I'll soon be all set in a new apartment yet to be named. There. I'm doing wonderful thanks to my Lord. He is my provider.
God blesses!

Think on these things
What haven't I been thinking about? Well, now that it is official, I'll let anyone know who reads this: I'm getting married! She is a wonderful person. She is so honest, and full of truth, her value is far above rubies to me. A virtuous woman. She is the most lovely person in the world. I can't stop thinking about her!
So, you wanna know her name, right? So do I. I don't know my future wife's name! But I do know who she is. I know her character. I know because the bible tells me.
Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
I lay claim on this verse as a marriage scripture. I don't believe that was Paul's original intentions but I think I make a good point. I'm going to be waking up next to her for the rest of our lives, I'll be eating most of my meals with her, we'll be together a lot of the time. It makes sense that she would be on my thoughts quite often throughout the day.
Why would I want to think on her if she wasn't true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, and having virtue? I want the word of God to apply in EVERY part of my life. Not just Pre-marriage.
My wife will be beautiful. She will be a gift from God. The love I have with Jesus Christ will be shared with her in a way I cannot express to any other human being! We will be incalculably special to each other. United by God as an image of Christ's love for the church.
I can't stop thinking about her! It will be amazing!
Don't take my words incorrectly, though. I'm not looking FOR my wife. I'm looking FORward to my wife. I am only worried about caring for the things of the Lord and pleasing him. My job isn't to go out dating and searching for my right someone. I don't want to date women. I want to date my wife. I don't want to find a bunch of different girls. I'm only looking for one.
God will let me know. When I know, I will pursue. When I pursue, I will succeed. I will leave the chutes sprinting straight towards what God has ordained. But until then, I'm staying in the dugout with God. I don't want to sprint out towards a girl and slam into someone else along the way :)
My God CARES about ME. He LOVES me. I am elated by his presence. I want to share that joy. I want those experiences to be expressed in a love I have for my wife. I don't know what she looks like, the color of her beautiful eyes, the way her voice bursts into laughter, but I'm in love with her. I may not know her name, but I know who she is. And I know she feels the same way.
