Makin' A List, Praying More Than Twice

The other day I blogged about a few small ways

my husband and I keep ourselves afflicted with

HONEYMOONITIS.

The same day,

a bloggy friend, Bevy,

also blogged about her husband.

(His name is also Scott,

so please don't be confused.)

I appreciate her faith, her heart for the Lord,

and her adorable children.
But, she taught me something
I want to pass onto my daughters.

She shared how she

prayed her husband

 into her life.

I prayed, too, but I used
The List.

Ya' know, the list teen-age girls hide in their Bibles?

The List
that contains all  the secret desires and qualities
they want in  the

Man of Their Prayers.

(Yea, we Christians pray, not dream.

Or, we're supposed to, anyway.)

The List is clutched in young hands,

impatiently prayed through over and over,

as young girls long to be swept off their feet.

They usually start something like this

"must love the Lord

have Biblical convictions

play guitar

love kids

be good lookin'

hard-working

blonde...etc..."

It worked for me.

But, I like Bevy's advice better.

"When I began really seeking the Lord about what sort of man I was desiring (for my future) as a spouse... these verses became sort of a bedrock - for my prayers.



I really believe the Lord answered those prayers... when he brought,my husband, Scott into my life."

Read the rest here at her blog

:treasured up and pondered:

Then  have your daughters and single friends
pick out a passage of Scripture,
to put on the
top
of
The List.
