We are not simply praying for a big, huge, beautiful mansion that we could never afford or even dream of owning. We are not simply praying for some giant amount of cash that we could never earn in a hundred lifetimes. We are not simply praying for a cure to an incurable disease or a miracle that will affect millions of people...

We are asking God for his greatest creation of all!! A living, breathing, human being made in His image, one of His very own unique, precious children...TO BE OUR SOLE PARTNER FOR LIFE.

Who in all of humanity can say that they are truly worthy of this great blessing of blessings???

Surely not me, so I dont dare ask God to make her according to my tastes. THAT DOES NOT mean that I don't HOPE she will be the woman I dream of. I will always HOPE, but will never EXPECT.

"And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong--you want only what will give you pleasure."

Ok so yea...and umm.. I trust God's judgement that whoever he brings into my life will be good for me and her. Its really all about trusting the Lord.

They should rewrite that old Ghostbusters song so it says..who u gonna trust?...trust Jesus!
