Well, I know what I forgot now!
My goal right now is to discover Christ. He knows me better than anyone else, but how well do I know Him? Along these lines, I want to make a running list of all the ways that He is characterized in the Bible. Somehow, I have a feeling that if I plan on marrying the right man, the traits that I'm looking for will be those listed in the Word.
The first verse I'm putting up here with that thought comes from the article that I recommended just a few minutes ago.
Each man will be like a shelter from the wind,
and a refuge from the storm,
like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. Isaiah 32:1-4
What a fantastic man that sounds like! Someone to run to when the things of the world become too much, when Satan calls to me alluringly to take the 'easy' way out of a tough or trying situation. What a gift a husband like that will be, a gift that only God can and will bless me with. And He will, in His time, and His way, and when He knows that He is truly my first love.
