Sigh.
Many days have gone by since I last wrote.
I’m not awesome.
I’m not perfect.
You’re not perfect.
No one is perfect.
Only Jesus / God is.
I need to stop worrying about when I’ll meet you, the love of my life, and get on with life.
I need to stop getting side-tracked and get on with living life with Jesus as first and foremost.

My dearest,
I’m afraid my schedule keeps me very busy and unable to write a daily letter of sorts to you.
I keep you close in my heart, and you remain very much in my thoughts and prayers.
I shall write again when the time avails itself, and when the words flow freely..
Much love,
your future husband

my dear,
I honestly don’t know what to say today.
I just feel grumpy, grouchy and annoyed.. no, before you say guys get pms, they don’t.
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems so far away.
I just want someone to cuddle with, and make everything alright.
Can’t we hurry up and meet each other already?
love,
your future husband

My beautiful darling,
With all the talk of the Royal Wedding, I thought a similar themed post appropriate. :)
I was thinking it would be nice to get married to you in a wedding like Will & Kate’s, but in reality it wouldn’t really be all that nice. The crowds of onlookers, media, hundreds of millions watching on tv would all destroy the enjoyment of the simple ordinance that marriage is - the bringing together of male & female with the blessing of God.
Thinking more about it I’d much rather something simple like a wedding in a small chapel, on a beach, or in the middle of a field.
I wonder where you’d want to get married?
Much love,
your future husband

My dear love,
I was pondering on marriage and how it’s generally the done thing that women wait until the right guy comes along, asks them out, and proposes to them, etc.. Some women don’t like to stick to the historical way of relationships, marriage and proposing, and to me that just seems strange. I kind of hope you’re not that type because I’m not sure I would be ready for something like that..
While it would take a lot of the stress and burden off my shoulders, it would also create much stress because of it not being “normal”..
love,
your future husband

My love,
God has been speaking to me today, through one incredible song which I discovered the other week “Until We Reach The Hills” by Carinthia.
Though the entire song is instrumental, the words which kept on coming to mind were from Psalm 121:1 “I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.”
My dear, on the days when things aren’t going too well - lift up your eyes to the Lord - from where comes help.
Much love and prayers,
your future husband

My dearest love,
God indeed speaks in mysterious ways.. just listening to Hillsong United’s “Like An Avalanche”
I find myself here on my knees again, caught up in grace like an avalanche, nothing compares to this love, love, love, burning in my heart
Take my heart, take all that I am
It renewed my heart once again to give all of my heart to God and let His love burn out brighter. I am nothing. He is everything.
I find whenever I listen to praise and worship music it takes away the heartache for you, and also brings me closer to God than I would be otherwise.
The song made me think about people (such as my whole family, and other closed-minded individuals) who are opposed to “praise and worship” music. I honestly feel sad for them. I feel like they are missing out on something much, much bigger than themselves, something which no words can convey. They are Christians, but my heart just speaks that they are missing out. Music seems to be one of the primary cross-cultural, cross-personality languages, which directly bridges the gap between us and God, near equal with prayer. When you’ve been listening to it, you WANT to mirror the love and passion with which the words have been sung to God. Since these people lack this type of music in their lives, it seems like that is reflected in their lives by a lack love for others and God.
My dear I wonder if you’ve ever heard some of the reasons why people are opposed to this form of music?
Just a few of the reasons I’ve heard are:
The people making it are in it for the fame and money.
The people making it are influenced by other artists who are not Christians.
The music is not “glorifying to God” (because of the origin of the “beat”/”rock” & etc..)
Can’t God take anything that is not glorifying to him and make it clean?
Thinking about David the Psalmist - he was a murderer, adulterer and king. We’re talking about someone who was famous, loaded with money and by today’s standards - should’ve been in jail for war-crimes - and yet God chose him to write the Book of Psalms?!?
Then there’s King Solomon - a polygamist, idol worshipper and king. Once again, like his father David, he was a king and filthy rich - yet God used him to compose around 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs.
Why can’t God allow music written by Christians (and even NON-Christians?) to be used for his kingdom, whatever the motives or life story of the songwriter were?
.
I wonder what you think about music?
Do you listen to music that brings you closer to God? Do you think any music has the power to bring you closer to God, and one another?
I want to listen to your favorite songs and play you mine - and both of us sing them together, preferably while on long country drives, over cups of hot chocolate, or reclining in the sun.. :)
I dream of us listening to a powerful worship song together and letting it wash over us, empowering us to follow closer than ever - the creator and source of all inspiration - God.
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
For the world You love
Your will be done, let Your will be done in me
Like the rising sun that shines
From the darkness comes a light
I hear Your voice say
This is my awakening
…
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing
Don’t let anyone except God change your taste of music, and keep on singing ‘til we meet! :)
Much, much love,
your future husband

My dear,
I’m stuck in a loop and can’t get out of it. My mind keeps saying that I need hurry up and find a wife, but God keeps on saying to wait. Repeat. I could keep on saying that in all sorts of creative ways until I’m blue in the face, wait, until my fingers are raw and sore, but it’s not going to do anything. Do I need to move on from writing to you?
Oh dear, what am I trying to say? I don’t want to fall for the wrong person. I just want to be with you. I want to live a life following God. I want to get to the end and hear the “well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord”.
The temptations are great. The path is narrow. Our burdens are heavy, but with Christ our burdens are light.
love,
your future husband

My love,
I have been away but that hasn’t stopped me thinking about you. Sorry I haven’t written in the past couple of days, I’ll write several letters to make up for that. :)
Life isn’t easy right now. I keep wondering who you are.
I’m probably taking this out of context, but Psalm 37:7 keeps me going.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him
While I wait for you,
your future husband

Hey sweetie!
God obviously has you out there somewhere for me, but we haven’t chanced to meet yet.Hopefully it won’t be long! While we wait, we’ll wait on Him!
I wish we were together. I was thinking earlier how nice it would be to wrap my arms around you, taking in the smell of your fragrant perfume whilst whispering sweet nothings in your ear… sitting on a porch swing on a warm summer’s evening.. munching on chocolate cookies and sipping glasses of icy cool lemonade. :)
Just thinking about you, makes my heart beat faster and breathing speed up! Each time I breath out, I feel hopelessly weak, wondering who you are and wanting to be in love with you, then breathing back in feeling strong and alive knowing God is stronger than me and will bring us together in his timing.
I pray that you will also seek God whenever you feel weak, and that he will give you strength.
much love,
your future husband
