Waiting for God's BEST....

Dreams.


Dreams of your first kiss.
Your very first kiss in the moonlight.
A sweet, gentle, innocent kiss with the guy of your dreams.


Dreams of the first time you hold his hand.
Strong, firm yet soft hands.


Dreams of the first time he says 'I love You'.




We all dream about them don't we girls?
Whether you've had your first kiss or not, we still dream about the guy we'll be with forever.

So my question to you is: What do you look for in a guy?

Is he a Christian in your dreams? Does he treat you like the jewel you are? Does he respect the standards you set?

Considering I've never been in a relationship, I wouldn't know how to give the proper advice for this kind of stuff. I just know that I think about it. A lot.
I'm trying to wait for God's best. I don't want to settle for anything less than that.

Evey kiss, hand hold, and "I love You" is a very special gift.
I don't want to just give them away.

I heard of this story, and it goes something like this. (I only remember a little bit of it, so sorry if it's wrong!!)

A girl was about to have a 16th birthday. Her mom and dad said once she turned 16, she could date and have a boyfriend. And she was excited because she wanted one badly. She always talked about having one.
When the day came, her parents decided to take her to dinner that night. Just her, her mom, and dad.
Well, her dad thought it would be a good time to give her the gift he had got her.
When she opened it, it was a beautiful charm bracelet. There were many charms that had pearls on them, and with different colors. Her dad told her this was of great value. She was so excited she didn't want to take it off.
But.....He told her there was a catch.
He said, "The first time you kiss a boy, you have to give him one of your charms." She told him she didn't want to give it away. That was ridiculous. Then he looked at her and said, "The first time you hold hands with a boy, give him a charm." She still didn't want that to happen. Then he said again "The first time you tell a bot "I love you", give him one of your charms."
The girl new how precious these charms were and soon realized so was her innocence, and each of her "firsts" were precious as well. Then (not sure if this part is apart of the story but...) the daughter looked at him and said " I only want one person to have all these charms- my husband."

So what do you look for in your future husband?

Make a list of everything you want to find when you meet him. What do you want to stand out about him?

Here's mine:
What I want to stand out
Obvious he has a relationship WITH God.
adventurous,
creative
kind
original
patient
joyful
has a zest for life
not to have a curseful mouth (!)
Respectful to girls and all who are around him
handsome (who doesn't want that??!!!)

What I want when I'm with him
A good conversationalist
A gentleman
Respectful of my standards and values
Has values of his own that are to honor God
Romantic
Honest
Funny
adventurous
interested in the things I love to do
Prays before meals with me
encouraging

But most importantly, I want him to be Pure. To have saved himself for me if we were to get married. I want my first kiss to be on my wedding day, I want all those "I love you's" he has to be for me, and mine for him.
I know God has the guy of our dreams, and even better out there for us. We just need to wait for him.
Singleness really is a precious thing. It's a time for learning, and growing, and developing, and maturing in every area, so that when God does want us to be married, we'll be ready and prepared. We'll be all our husband will need, and even want.

So I encourage you, if you are single right now, don't be discouraged. Don't look for someone to tell you "I love you", because truth is, you already have someone. God. And He does.
Just look at this singleness as an opportunity to GROW in your relationship with God.
