"Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord." Psalm 128:3

Wednesdays in the Word
I was so honored to be asked to speak to a small group of amazing young adult girls last weekend and I thought I'd share the bullet points that I shared with them here too.
1. Live your best life now
Give God your whole heart
2. Be the person you want to find
Become as awesome as you want that guy to be
3. Live and love the Word of God
Store it up in your heart now for ready recall in all kinds of situations
4. The only person you can change is you
You don't want a guy who is a fixer upper (maybe a house that is) ; )
5. Choose someone who honors God, you and everyone else
Does he honor servers? Does he honor his parents?
6. Choose someone whose spiritual life you admire
He will be the future spiritual leader of your family
7. Be devoted to purity
You are building the story that you will tell your children someday so don't compromise
Obviously there was a lot more to it and maybe you had to be there! ; )
