All things boys;

We are gonna talk boys, because what girl doesn't like talking about boys?
This K-Love challenge has been eye-opening, and I love it! (1 week into it!!!)  The song that has gotten me thinking about boys, and marriage is the song "Lead Me" by Sanctus Real. I am in love with this song!
And being in college people all around me are getting engaged, starting families, and finding their soul mate. I am in a serious enough relationship that has me thinking about marriage and family and kids. Scariest thoughts I have ever had, because I have definitely never thought I would be so young when I would first have these thoughts.

My boyfriend and I's story is nothing short then a fairytale, but what girl doesn't think their story isn't a fairy tale? I met my dear boyfriend back in middle school, and he was my first kiss in 8th grade. Then we hardly talked during high school until our senior year when we had a class together. We then became close friends, and still saw other people. When Halloween of my freshman year of college came around, him and I started talking again. He came up one weekend to come see me, and then when I came home for winter break that year we started dating. We have been together for almost 5 months now, and I have never been happier. And I know, 5 months big deal. But you have to know that I don't do relationships, I never saw the point in being in a serious relationship before now because what was going to become of it? Nothing. So I only dated around, never really steadily dated a boy. So 5 months is a huge deal for me, and I couldn't ask for a better man to spend these past 5 months with. But lets not get ahead of ourselves, I do love him but I am only a freshman in college. I have so much more life to live before I settle down and start a family. But when that times comes I want to make sure I choose the right one.

I have always wanted a good family. My parents being divorced has given me great fears for marriage and bringing kids into a family that could be broken at some point. But I have read the bible, and prayed to God and I think I have found a fool-proof way to make sure your marriage survives.

Here is the all knowing, top secret way to have a good marriage. Your husband must put God before you. Yes, you read that right. Your hubby must love God more then he loves you. Okay, I am a very jealous person. I want my significant other to love me with everything they have, because I know I will love them just as much. But when I read this, I know that is the way to the happiest marriage ever. God should be the center of your lives, and you both should love God more then you love each other. Upon many other things you should do in your relationship, this is one of the most important thing you could do.

I want my family to be center around Christ. I want my kids to know God's love for them and to see that their parents love God and live their life by Christ. I want them to see the love we have for each other, and know that it is ever lasting because God is part of that love. The song "Lead Me" is pretty much sums up all of this.

"I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...

"Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone"

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're in independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...

"Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone"

So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?

To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up

I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone

Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone"

When it comes to knowing which man is "the one", ask God. He knows who is meant for you, He knows who will provide and bring you the greatest happiness. So ask Him, and He will answer you.

Finding true love is every girl's dream, and the way to find true love is through God. Ask Him, pick the right man, love God more then you love him, and make God a major part of your relationship and family. God has a plan, He knows what's best for you and He will tell you when you ask.
