Was talking to a Korean Christian girl friend today. We are in the same class for two courses this semester and she has been a real blessing to me.
She is in a relationship now and they are already engaged. The wedding will be held soon after her graduation =)
She shared with me the story of how she met her future husband. And she said, it's God's plan =)
Before that, she made a list of the requirements that she wants in a spouse. 50 OF THEM!!! And she will pray over it to God everyday. And God is faithful, He gives her a guy that meet all of the 50 requirements!
Then she turned to me and said seriously: "You should start making a list too! God will answer them!"
Haha. She is just so adorable.
I guess I will start making a list too. Soon. Lol. But really, 50 requirements? I can't think of that many now. Or rather, I kind of doubt there is any guy that can meet all of those requirements. I am happy enough if he can meet half of them.
But let's just believe in God that He will bring the best spouse to us. Trust in Him =)
p/s: girls, should we all start making a list?
p/s: Show me what you got in your list k? ;)

i think this is a cute idea :) i don't think it's bad to make a list, but i am personally trying not to expect certain things because i'm trusting God fully with whoever He's giving me.
if i had to make a list, though, these would be a few things. i can come up with most of these because i'm sure of God's calling on my life in these areas, and my husband's calling must align with mine.
1) radical laid-down lover of Jesus
2) financially secure
3) disciplined with his body (since it's the temple of God! eating, exercise, etc)
4) healed from sexual immorality
5) healed from parent wounds
6) a passion for the fatherless
7) disciplined in the spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, etc)
8) a deep revelation of the fullness of the Father's love
9) Spirit-filled
10) clearly hears the voice of God
11) a passion for loving the unlovely
those are off the top of my head. i also really hope he's artistic, but it's okay if he's not :)
i spent a little more time and added to my list.. and posted it on my blog :)
