Letter to my future husband

Dear future husband,

I just finished reading a book about praying for you. I'm fairly certain we haven't met yet, but I could be wrong. That wouldn't be the first time and certainly won't be the last. I had a feeling that I should pray that you come to find Jesus. So, I prayed that you would find Him about a week ago. I prayed that someone in your life was following Jesus and would introduce you to Him. After that prayer, I felt good.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure who you are or where you currently are in your life. I just feel like I should write to you. I know that when you and I meet that I want our relationship to have a solid foundation with Christ in the center of it. I'm praying that your heart is learning to be guarded. I'm praying that your heart will resist earthly temptations and that you will wait for me starting now if you haven't already. I'm praying that you will be someone who is fully committed to making our relationship a functional, healthy, and God-focused relationship. I pray that you will be patient with me and my past, present, and future self. I'm praying these things for myself as well.

I'm praying that you will be present in our relationship. I'm praying that you will help me grow to be a better wife to you, a good mother to our future children if we have them, and a woman who loves God more and more each day. I'm praying that together we can build an empire and bring others to Christ through our work. I'm praying that together we will be a couple that can work through difficulties without hurting each other. I'm praying that you and I will balance each other out.

I'm praying that you might be someone who has shared interests as me. It would be awesome if you were someone that enjoyed lifting weights and sharing in fun runs, but that is only a bonus quality that isn't a deal breaker. I'm praying that you're someone that won't forget that you have your friends and I have mine. I'm praying that you're someone who is secure enough to allow us to have time with our friends, and someone that will trust me completely.

Future husband, I'm praying that you will be praying for me as well. I don't know when our paths will cross or if they have already, but know that I'm ready for you when God says we are to intertwine our lives. Future husband, I'm looking forward to the day that I no longer have to wonder who you are and what you're like. Future husband, I'm looking forward to getting to know you and loving you for who you are now and who you will become. I'm looking forward to moving forward in this life with you by my side as God leads us together. Future husband, I am hoping that you will start to feel this way about me if you're not already.

Yours,

Nikki
