Stretching the rope before tying the knot.

Night number 2 went pretty well in the garage. There wasn't any Taylor Swift to accompany us this time, but the heat is. The heater we've acquired isn't new, but it's new to us, and for that we're grateful. The talk we had last night would probably go towards the top of the list; at least in my book it would. We talked about how I've met my wife, and how she doesn't know it yet. We talked about how I believe she's the one God has set for me, but it's just not time yet for me to make a move. There are a lot of things that I have to get straight with the Lord before I can pursue her. Until I'm ready, I have to get to know her more. She said I'd have a chance if she dated, but she doesn't date, because she's too in love with Jesus, and that's why I'm so attracted to her. She's being fair to her future husband, and after hearing that, I suppose I should start being fair to my future wife. It isn't fair that I share lips with someone else before I get married. It's as if we're engaged, and I'm having relationships with other women before we tie the knot. There really isn't anything fair about that. I've been told women know who they're going to marry as soon as they see the person. I guess I got in touch with my feminine side for once. She's so into God, that she hasn't even thought about who her husband is going to be. She says God will show her when He's ready. The way I basically have this figured out is like this: We're two pieces to a three-pieced puzzle. She has the connection with the Lord, but doesn't know who she's going to marry. And I've found who I'm going to marry, but I'm not as connected to God as I should be. So we fit together, completing each other, for right now, and God comes in and fills the third spot. I pray every night for her now. I pray that God shows her that I'm there, and I pray that she continues her pursuit of Him. Then I pray that I clean up my act enough to chase her. God, give me the strength to make this work for her. She deserves my best.
