BEFORE YOU SAY I DO
" ....when she became an adult and was able to begin to put things in perspective and act on her dreams, she began to walk in hope and belief."
dream planner.
What was extraordinary were her actual wedding pictures. She showed me both the dream planner and her actual wedding pictures, and I was astonished; both were so similar with just a few variations. I could not believe it! I looked at the album in awe and I shook my head and said, "Wow". As a child, she hoped for this perfect day, and when she became an adult and was able to begin to put things in perspective and act on her dreams, she began to walk in hope and belief.
"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord," (Psalms 31: 24. KJV).
If you are believing and trusting God for a mate, begin to walk in hope by acting like you are married. Maybe you have the discipline to start a dream planner or set an extra place at the table. You may even work on being a better cook if you know that that is not your forte, but it is important to you to prepare good meals for him. Work on your appearance if that is an issue. Work on your attitude as well. If you have been alone for a long time, you are going to have to get used to living your life with another person and understanding that it is not all about you. You must change your mindset to be conducive to having a loving, respectful, and successful marriage.
"There must be a conscious effort to move in the direction that you are hoping for even if it is no more than praying and creating a dream planner."
Walking in hope, like faith, is an action word. There must be a conscious effort to move in the direction that you are hoping for even if it is no more than praying and creating a dream planner. If you are now that person who has always dreamed of that perfect day with that perfect man, don't give up and continue to place your hope in the one that will bring it to fruition. Marriage is God's perfect will, and when you decide that you want to do it His way, He is on board and will bring it all together.
