Something . . .
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
. . . has been tugging at my heart since the engagement. No, wait, let me reword that: Someone has been tugging at my heart since the engagement. For example, I typically listen to a lot of secular music; anything from country to rap to Christian music. But, in the past week and a half, I have had the strongest desire to listen to Christian music. Music that glorifies the God that brought Josh and I together. I have no desire to listen to secular music, in fact, I am kind of grossed out by secular music. I am going to be honest, my relationship with God has not been the greatest. I wouldn't consider myself "running" after Him, it's more like a slight jog, then seeing something on the side of the road that distracts my jog . . . then remembering what I was supposed to be doing. It's been cold, inconsistent, blah. But . . . something in my heart is stirring. Stirring to put on my armor, get as close as I possibly can, and follow my God. Follow my God because He is ready to prepare me, my future marriage, and my commitment to my future husband more than ever. I want to go into this marriage knowing that I have a strong relationship with God; a relationship that is inseperable; a relationship that will create a "oneness" with God where I cannot be easily distracted by things on the side of the road, but continue running after Him as though my entire life and marriage depend on it.
My future husband deserves nothing less than a godly woman that he can trust with his entire life.
Now, if I could only find which road He is on, waiting for me to begin running behind Him.

This is so sweet, so beautiful... I have tears streaming down my face. Keep that hunger, that passion. With your focus on Him your marriage union will be complete. "A cord of three..." Abba Father, dump a cloudful of blessings on Josh and Ashley!
