Destined2bd1,

You are more unbelievable than you know, and more together than you realize! It is very evident (which is beyond clear) what your heart desires. No one knows you better than yourself and your Lord. The goals and desire for order that you have set before engaging (no pun intended) in a life long committment are remarkable and sound; healthy even.

Being married almost 16 years (and having none of those things in place), I know and have lived that love doesn't pay the bills (lol), if it did I'd be a millionaire (smile). But what I do know......

To have the desire to be a Wife-worshiper, intecessor, one who stands faithful, and an evangelist of your home, is beyond a normal and noble desire. It is a righteous one! I believe that you are ready to add back to someone's life, to standby lift up and support, to contribute what you feel is good and wholesome; I believe you are also ready to be loved, supported and have the security that comes from knowing that you belong and have a place in a life that you love and adore, and that the Lord has ordained. You deserve all that comes along with being 'exalted' the hebrew word for marriage means EXALTED!!!! Glory to God! How awesome is that.

The original meaning is that the suitor (betrothed -promised) agreed and was ready to exalt his bride to be. The inheritance of a woman who becomes a wife is that she is exalted. Hence the comparison, that a man is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. Not only did Christ die for the church, but he exalted her as well!

What marriage is and the maturity of it comes as the relationship grows. With all the preparation that goes into it, the foundation of marriage must be strong enough to weather the known, and survive the unknown. When there is clarity and certainty then you are saying I am sure that come what may this is the one that I want weather life (not just the storm) with. The opposite of that is knowing that there are certain experiences that you know will be more enjoyable if you experience them with that someone than if you didn't.

The best thing is to be so hid in Christ that someone would have to go through Him to find you, bring you out and usher you to the place that your Father has ordained!

I love you and continue to pray heavens best for you. You are deserving of all that you heart longs for.
