It's a feeling of everything being right, like he's filled a void I didn't even know was there.<BR/><BR/>We were married in October and though we have our issues, there's not one thing I regret. I had previously been involved in several relationships, and nothing seemed right. When I met Mark, I just knew! :)<BR/><BR/>You'll find him!D.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05384010882802317062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34587382.post-16865382671078426932008-06-10T23:36:00.000-05:002008-06-10T23:36:00.000-05:00Kate here, ( : David's Kate : ) that is!How to kno...Kate here, ( : David's Kate : ) that is!<BR/>How to know; now that's a fun question! I know that in part, when our Sovereign Lord brings two people together to become one for His glory, He won't hide His will from you. <I>Countless</I> times before David and I were betrothed I saw in him character traits and life directions that I’d begged, pleaded, and cried out for YHWH to bless me with in a husband. I’d note that David had these qualities, saw that it was possible, and moved on. I praised the Lord and kept praying for whomever I would marry (never assuming it could be David. I was in awe of this Man every time I thought of him and figured there was no way such a great, humble, and God fearing Man could be my husband! I admire him above all other men and am humbled by the honor of being his wife). <BR/>One time I gave David my word that I wouldn't do something that my family does to him. Even as I said I wouldn't do it, the thought flashed, "Well, if I were his wife I'd certainly do it! I can't promise that and then have to break my word!" As this thought still flashed the backpedaling word, "Well..." flew out of my mouth before I could stop it! David looked at me surprised, and mentally I immediately reprimanded myself, "Katelyn, what are you thinking!" and I hastily reiterated my promise to not do it to him. I was still shaken though, by how that thought came to my mind. I now see clearly that the Lord sent me many signs (and wonders!) and thoughts to prepare my heart for what lay ahead. But still, I was wholly submitted to God’s will and His PERFECT plan. I often pray, “Let Thy will be wholly fulfilled in me.”<BR/>One thing I did that helped me to view David as a brother (a <I>very</I> dear and precious one) was to pray for his future wife. I now laugh at my praying so much for myself! Didn't do any harm, that's for sure! But praying for "her" helped me not put myself in her place and it aided me in viewing David as already chosen. Hallelujah to the Lord for the fact that I am the girl I prayed for and that David is my Beloved! <BR/>Anyways, YHWH will show you through His Word (2 Peter 1:3), through His Spirit, and through the guidance of your authorities and wise (Ps. 111:10; Prov. 8:13) people He has brought in to your life. One major warning is this: DON’T FOLLOW YOUR FEELINGS OR EMOTIONS. Feelings and emotions are God given gifts to help us respond, but NOT to guide and govern us. We are not to be lead by them. Just because we get a goofy feeling when we’re around someone does'n mean they’re the one. Examine yourself by these three questions: What am I thinking? What am I believing? What is the Truth? (Ps 91:4, Ps 119:142, John 1:14, John 8:31-32, 14:6, 14:16-17, 16:13, 2Tim 2:15, 2 John 1:2…) Saturate and drown yourself in the Word and you will be encouraged down the right path. One thing to do is study the characteristics in the Bible of godly men. Look for the credentials given for the leaders of Israel; your husband will be the leader of your home so shouldn't he be qualified as a leader!? Examine the qualification of an elder in the Church. Holding to the threshold requirements given in the Word will narrow down the possibilities massively! When our Sovereign Lord brings you and the young man together in His PERFECT time, He will grant His peace in proceeding and will bless the path of obedience.<BR/>My family has always used the analogy of a triangle; if you’re serving YHWH and stay focused on Him, and the young man is serving YHWH and staying focused on Him, then our Lord will bring you together perfectly!<BR/>These are just random thoughts and things that our Lord has taught me. I hope they are of some use to you! I’m praying for you sister!<BR/>“I am resolved, and who will go with me? Come, friends, without delay. Taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit, we’ll walk the Heavenly Way.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34587382.post-72347489984611459362008-06-10T10:45:00.000-05:002008-06-10T10:45:00.000-05:00yess I keep forgetting my name and password.

I guess I'm left wondering a lot because,I know that he has to meet these certain standards, but what if he does, but I still don't KNOW if he is the one? :D This is weird writing this on a comment, but...not sure else how to do it. I'm trying to trust that God will just make it SOOO clear when it is the right time. And your right, I need to be patient!

You don't have to go and search He will be sent to you and YOU will know by the way he looks at you and the conversations that you have and the values that both of you have will be the same.Marriage is very important.. Remember this could you picture the man you are dating as the father of your children????Make sure you are friends first. Courtship doesnt always last very long when you know he is the one. Make sure he loves GOD ALWAYS , never compromise NOTHING... No one is worth your values and God has a plan for EVERYONE so BE PATIENT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
