Welcome to Part 20 of the series "Dear Future Spouse." These are real people who are writing to their future King and Queen. They do not personally know each other, but they are getting to know each other through the letters. Each week, you will find a response to the letter before. So, grab some coffee, tea, or tissue, and enjoy! Tell us what you think!
Dear Future Husband,
I am absolutely amazed at how God is using you through your words, letters and questions towards me. They are such confirmation and as you continue to read you will understand why. 2017 has been one of the most beautiful yet challenging years of my life. Business ventures have been birthed in my spirit. I’ve also landed an amazing dream job with a VERY generous compensation plan. This has also been the year that I’ve been healing from a 3 year relationship, and I was rear ended in a 4 car accident that included a fatality. Friends look at all that I have endured in the first five months of the year and ask me how am I managing all these things. One friend even asked what bad thing is karma repaying me for.
Two weeks ago while in church I realized I was in my Job season: car, job, health, and relationship were lost. God told the devil he could take everything but Job’s life, and some days, I felt like that was what I was experiencing. Despite that, I knew I was enduring this not as retribution for some sin but to be a testimony to someone else who might experience even the slightest amount of curveballs life has thrown at me. I’m actually excited to see how my challenges can help someone else and that they might become saved knowing that their Heavenly Father sees all and cares.
I know that was a lot of heavy stuff, but you asked if I could boldly walk and draw others to Christ, and I think I’m just as imperfect as the Apostle Paul. Lord knows I have a shaky past, but I’m so full of love for God and His ministry and want to see it grow to be what He has called it to be.
As for helping me to become a better me, I think the best thing for you to do is just pray for your own patience lol. I laugh, but I’m serious. I have so many big ideas and can be so outgoing, but I have my moments where nothing is wrong; I’m just not my usual self. It’s normal; everyone isn’t happy all of the time, but with you having the necessary patience and understanding, you will know how to greet me and meet me where I am each day. I always say I’m very easy to please, so you can surprise me with a Reese’s, and I’d probably be just as excited as I would be with 3 dozen roses. Now, don’t take the cheap way out and think you can always buy $0.99 candy instead of a slightly larger investment in gifts. The main takeaway is that I’m just a grateful soul who appreciates you thinking of me and taking the effort.
Until next time,
Your Future Wife
