LETTERS TO DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND Episode 1

I’ve always believed in doing marriage God’s way. Yeah, there’s such thing as God’s way. Wink!

Last week, I decided I’d share some of my thoughts and knowledge through writing letters to my future husband every Friday. I started sharing on WhatsApp and I’m bringing it to the blog for everyone who missed last week’s and for those who need to be inspired.

I’m one of those Jesus girls who believes so much in love and it’s endless possibilities when we play our part. In a world where folks still question the possibility of love, I’m hoping that we all learn to love others like Christ loved us by giving Himself for us.

I’d also be sharing a love song I learnt along side every episode and give a Biblical and common sense perspective to it as well. Who knows, future hubby might stumble on this too.

Leggo!

“Hello bae(one word I still struggle to use because I think it sounds cliché lol),

I’m writing this letter starting today with such excitement, hope, peace and unbridled joy. From knowing whose I am and who I am as a result.

It’s thrilling!

Maybe another reason is I feel like you’re around me and I know you. Or it’s because I’m at a phase where I’ve been learning a whole lot, God has been preparing me to be the woman He has called me to be. Who knows?

But I’m super joyful!

It’s my first of many letters, babe. I want you to hold every word in it really dear as they’re from the deepest parts of my heart.

Come close, let me whisper in your ears,
“I’ve been saving so many secrets to tell just you but I’d reveal only a few here since we have an audience. Lol” Now, that’s no more a secret lol

” I’ve learnt that I’d attract my kind and while God wants to give me the best, I have a critical role to play. These took me away from searching for you to being who God has called me to be, following His purposes, achieving my dreams and being the best I could be. “

Please pay close attention 🙂

The truth is I have fears but I have learnt to put them in perspective.

Some are, “is there someone who would sync with me for who I am and much more who God has called me to be? Someone who’s led by God and purposeful? Someone who knows and understands God’s kind of love? Saved by Grace and walking in it? Someone who isn’t afraid to allow me shine while he sometimes watches and cheers me on from the background? Would he really understand that I grow and there are different seasons hence changes I undergo in my faith walk especially? Would he believe in my dreams like I support his?”

I’ve heard stories, we all do, of abuses, of shattered dreams in homes and abandoned children. A lot of fears out there but I’ve learnt to emphasis what God’s word says about His plans for me. I’ve learnt that I’d attract my kind and while God wants to give me the best, I have a critical role to play. These took me away from searching for you to being who God has called me to be, following His purposes, achieving my dreams and being the best I could be.

It all makes sense. It’s meant to be God first then you not the other way round. I’ve been about my Father’s business and I can’t wait to tell you more about it in my next letter.

Till then
I love you,
My Forever Man Crush

Now, on to the song guys:

Say You Won’t Let Go – James Arthur

I love one of the things portrayed by the song, Commitment. One quality lacking in many folks these days. I’m one of those who believe that whatever quality you find very hard to learn as a single person, it won’t become any easier when you get married. It is more about you doing what God has called you to do than about getting someone to love you. It is sticking to the one you choose despite challenges. It is dedication to God’s idea of marriage and finding another who is as well and staying through to your choice while you allow God’s word guide you. It is devotion, faithfulness and loyalty! It’s a promise and a decision to love one person for as long as you live and your emotional and physical well-being is safe. Very important. It’s a beautiful song, check it out guys 🙂

See you in the next episode 🙂
