1. It's weird to think that my future husband could potentially be in a relationship right now. You never want to think about the person you're interested in being with someone else, so its odd to think of the future as what it may be presently holding. It makes me want to pray that my future husband is out of the relationship so that God can show him to me. The longer the relationship lasts, the more people will hurt in the end.
2. I think it is a similar answer to the first question. We don't like to think about the past, but its likely that we will both have people from our past. Some of it may hurt us. I want to make sure that I don't have anymore painful stories to add to my past for my future husband. I am in a place where I'm not looking to date around, and I do want my next relationship to be my last relationship.
3. I had someone fly me out of state to visit him. It seemed really romantic in the moment. However, when the "vacation" arrived, I didn't spend much time with him because of his work. I felt pretty special, but after I had got there and left I didn't feel special at all.
4. To me, that part really stuck out. He bought me with His blood! How many people do we say we would lay our lives down for? Would we really do that? God did! He loved us that much.
5. I can relate to Tricia. I felt like it was normal to be sexually involved with someone. I felt that if I hadn't because of the way society is that I wouldn't be someone that was worth staying with. I knew it was wrong --- every. single. time. I never once felt good about what I was doing, but it was a fear I had developed thanks to the media and today's world.
6. When we give too much of our story to someone we are emotionally involved. If we are sharing our lives with someone they work in to become part of our story. It can be hard to rip that person out of your life when you've created so many memories together.
7. Pray about them. Draw close and communicate with Him and He will help heal us.
8. When I am struggling and crying out to God I will feel a sense of peace. I know that is when God has his arms wrapped around me. That's when He tells me what I will be okay because He is there for me.
9. Yesterday, I prayed that my future husband would have someone in his life to show him who God was. That could be equivalent to what Shannon was praying about. That makes a little bit nervous because I am wondering when he would be shown and how do I trust him to be truly in love with God when he hears the story? Of course, the answer is prayer.
10. Just like number 5, I believed that no one would stay with me if I didn't give myself physically. God is sad about that because I've defaced His temple that He gave me. Thankfully, God is a merciful and graceful God. I am hoping that in the future I am stronger and have my future husband join me in the same shared beliefs.
