A Thought in the Life of a Pastor's Kid

I cannot even being to describe how much I have enjoyed writing this little series! Not only to encourage other young ladies out there, but also to help me remember to pray for my future guy. But......this will be my last post in the series. I hope y'all have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it! I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic or if this has helped you in any way ;) Or if you have some more ideas on what to pray for, I would love to hear it and add it to my prayer list! Let's do a quick review ~ 1 - Salvation 2 - Walk with God 3 - No Hidden Sin 4 - A Settled Love Question 5 - A Surrendered Will 6 - Past Relationships As I was praying about which points to do next, there were so many that I thought of (honestly, this series could go on for a while...but I do not want to bore any of you) ;). When I am reading my Bible or even just listening to a message, it seems like God shows me more things that I should pray for. It would be

Does anybody else feel like time is flying? I realized that it has already been a week since I did my last post in the series. When I was younger, I thought it was crazy when I heard an adult say, "Time goes by faster as you grow older." Now...I realize how true that is! When I started this series, I wasn't sure how long it would go on for or how many posts it would include. I wasn't even sure if anybody would be interested in reading it. But I know that God has put this blog topic on my heart for a reason, and that He will guide the right people to read it. I am definitely not writing this to boost my pride or followers, but I am doing it because God wants me to be a help and an encouragement to other young ladies like myself. Do I know everything about relationships? Definitely not ;) But I have learned some things through experiences that I have had, and I want to do whatever I can to learn from those experiences and grow closer to the Lord through it. Anyway!

Between traveling with family, having friends visit, and finishing up some college summer classes, I finally got a chance to sit down and work on this post :) I am going to just skip some of the preliminary stuff and get straight into the next thing that we need to pray for when praying for our future spouse.  We talked about #1 - Salvation, and  #2 - Walk with God. Let's see what #3 is, shall we? ;) #3 - No Hidden Sin Christians have gotten really good at "hiding" sin so that they look good on the outside and in public, but really, they have something in their life that is hindering their fellowship with God. As Christian girls that are waiting for the one that God has for us, we must be praying for our future guy and the things that he may be going through right now. When I pray about this particular point, I pray something like this,  "Lord, if my future guy is in sin right now or has something in his life that is not pleasing to you, I pray that he would g

     The first thing I want to do in this post is thank y’all for the feedback and encouragement that I have been receiving. You have no idea how much this means to me! It also makes me a little nervous to know that people are actually reading what I write. :) I am praying for you and I hope that this little series can be a help and encouragement in your life.        So we learned that the first thing we need to pray for is salvation. This is so important, and it should be at the top of our list! When I mention the next thing that we should pray for, you’re probably going to think, “I know this already. Why are you even mentioning it?” I’m adding this to the list, because sometimes, we can so often forget to pray for the simple, practical things that we should be doing every day. But I’m getting ahead of myself here ;) Let’s see what the next point on our list is: #2 – A Daily Walk with God               This is so important in the life of any Christian, including your future spo

Well….here we are! Part one of our journey together. I am so excited to share with y’all some things that God has showed me that I need to pray for about my future husband. Before we go any further, I just wanted to stop and say that I would love to hear some feedback from you! Shoot me an email and tell me where you are from and how these posts have helped you (if at all). My goal is to reach young ladies like me who are in this stage of life, so if you know of a single young lady that could be encouraged by some of my posts, please feel free to send them the link! I want to be used of God to be an encouragement to as many young ladies as possible. Honestly, I am honored that you are even here reading this right now. You have no idea how much that means to me :) Alright, are you ready? Because I sure am! If you are anything like me, you have thought and prayed many times for your future guy – the one that God has for you. Also, if you’re like me, your prayer might have s

        When I was younger, I had always dreamed of getting married at the same age as my mom. She was 18 and my dad was 19. I had everything planned out; I was going to meet my guy, get married at 18, and have a lot of kids. Sounds great, right? ; )     Well….let’s just say that 18 has come and gone and I am still not married. But don’t worry! I am not sitting in my room crying my eyes out day in and day out because I don’t have a guy (I’m not that dramatic, ok?). Neither am I rushing around frantically searching for any guy that will give me the time of day (I’m not that desperate either ;) )        I am 20 now and I know I am living the exact life that God wants me to live. I am right where He has me, and that is the most important thing! Do I still want to get married? Why yes! Of course. God has given me a desire to be a Godly wife and mother and that is my dream. I realize though, that God has not brought the right one into my life yet. There might have been times that I th
