My Life: A Prayer List being Answered, Part 1

Throughout all my years of growing up, I wondered what my life would 

be like when I finally reached adulthood, marriage, and children. What 

would I look like? Who would I marry? Would our meeting be romantic? 

What kind of occupation would I pursue? How many children would I 

have? So many questions swirled around my curious, imaginative brain. 

I laid awake at night and prayed for my future, for God's will to come to

pass in all the different areas of my life. Now, as I look back, I am so

thankful for those hours I spent praying. I met my husband, Jason,

at a Friday night church service. We were seated next to each other

and a mutual friend introduced us. The first thing I thought was, "He's 

pretty cute, but his wardrobe could use some help." During the service,

our pastor asked us all to hold hands during a prayer. As we clasped

our hands together something felt different, energizing. A thought 

occurred to me, "What if this is the guy I'm going to marry?" 

Now just to clarify, I'm not the kind of girl who thought this of every 

guy she met. This was a feeling, an inkling that I will never forget. We 

started seeing each other the next month, started dating the month after 

that, were engaged four months after that, and married about a year 

after we first met. We've been married over six years now, and of course

we've had our share of ups and downs, but I've never been more sure

that I married the absolute perfect person for me. I love him more that

words can express and am so happy that he is the father of my 

beautiful children. 

                              

If you are wondering if I was able to revamp his closet, I can assure

you he dresses much more age appropriate now than when I met

him. Jason offered for me to get rid of all the clothes I disliked

before we got married, the majority of which you might have found

being sported at the local homestyle cafeteria at five. To give him

credit, his sense of style has dramatically improved in the years

we've been together. I can't imagine how good he'll look by the time

we celebrate our golden anniversary. God certainly answered my

prayers concerning the love of my life. Next time, I write about another

area of my life where God has been faithful.

heart."  Psalm 37:4, ESV
