WEEK 3 IS HERE!!!
1 Corinthians 7:8
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they remain even as I am ( SINGLE). NIV
I do, though, tell the unmarried and widows that singleness might well be the best thing for them, as it has been for me. MSG
But to the unmarried people and to the widows, I declare that it is well (good, advantageous, expedient, and wholesome) for them to remain [single] even as I do. Amplified version
THIS WEEK: AIN’T NO WIFEY LIST!!!
Watch this for details!!
Memory Verse:
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. ~Proverbs 15:1

okay, so better late than never, right? first of all, i loved making my wifey list – it actually really helped me with my husband list. because, before i made my personal list, i struggled with coming up with even ten things for my husband list. but once i started listing things i want to bring into my marriage, it helped me think about what i really desire in my husband. so, here’s my wifey list:
1~ always pursuing a relationship with God
2~ tender and respectful
3~ openly communicative
4~ self-sufficient yet submissive
5~ hard worker
6~ good house/home keeper
7~ maintain a sense of humor
8~ loyal {won’t speak ill of my husband}
9~ peace seeker
10~ confident in who i am and in Christ’s love and protection
okay, so that was the easy part. i’ve struggled more with the non-wifey list. i am 33 and have never been married or had kids, so i feel like i have already done a lot of the things i would tend to list. so, i was thinking maybe i’d list those things i’m happy to have already been given the opportunity to do, and add the things i would like to do before getting married.
1~ spend new year’s eve {my birthday!!} in times square in nyc – done!
2~ travel – i’ve been to almost all 50 states, so i’d say mostly done {i’d love for future trips, maybe to other countries, to be made with my husband :)}
3~ start my own business – done!
4~ have a child live with me – done! {it wasn’t officially a fostering thing, but i was able to take in a girl who needed a home for awhile}
5~ learn who i am, experiment and have fun with my style – done! from tattoos to crazy hair colors, it’s been fun to get to do what i want, how i want, with my style, and i trust that God has a guy for me who will love all my crazy ways 🙂
6~ mentor younger girls ~ done! and doing. 🙂 i know that when i am married and possibly have children, i might not have the time to pour into others the way i get to now. i absolutely cherish the time i get to spend with my teen girls from church
7~ pay off debt – not done! this is a big one for me.
8~ start my other business, the one i’ve held in my heart for a long time, and need a miracle from God in order to make it happen 🙂
9~ get healthy – i am sure this is something that is easier to accomplish while single, so i need to get on it already!
10~ learn to successfully garden – because i’m a hippie-ish nerd 🙂
You have done so much already!! And to think God has so much more in store!! So excited for this season for you girl!! I have no doubt he has someone absolutely Ahhhhmazing on the way for you in His perfect timing!! XOXO
