On a more personal level...

This may or may not pertain to you, but I think if you are a single Christian in today's world, you can definitely get something from it. This comes from the heart.

Dear Future Husband,
I've thought a lot about you today. I wonder who you are and if I already have met you. Secretly I hope I have, since I'm starting to realize that I'm getting older by the minute. But I'm trusting God with it- He'll let us know.
Want to hear a funny story? I've never written to you before. I've prayed over you, prayed that you stay strong in your faith so we can grow in Him together when we meet. I have always wanted to grow in God with someone, someone who challenges me like no other. I have always imagined you as the head of the household, the spiritual head. You're not like the other guys in my life- the ones I have to drag along in the faith with me. You're strong, God created you to be a strong individual. And you must be strong, otherwise you wouldn't be stuck with me. How you put up with me, I will never fully know, but I bet there's a big dose of patience involved.
I know a lot of people who are focused on meeting their future husbands or wives. I'm not worried about us, I know God has a plan for us. He'll reveal it to us when it's His time, not ours. He'll bring us together to be a cord of three strands that cannot be broken. I'm so excited for that day. I've seen that day, you know, the day of the wedding, with a lot of different people. That day will be amazing, but I'm mainly excited for the rest. To grow with one person in the faith? To celebrate with you, to support you, to dig into the Bible with you? Sounds incredible.
Today I had someone ask me about you. She asked me to search what I really want in a husband. I want you. That's what I've decided. I know the type of person you're going to be, I don't have to search my soul and come up with a laundry list of what I want. I'm done with that. I just want you and I know God will give me that desire but in His own time and in His own way. Even when I'm impatient I can cling to that fact. Psalm 20, you know.
There's so much more I want to say to you, but God has granted me sleep at this late hour. I'm praying for you, please keep yourself for me and pray for me too- heaven knows I need it. Keep rendering your heart to God and God only- that's what I'm having to do everyday too. Stay strong in His Truth- He is the ONLY thing that will never disappoint.
-Me
