How To Know If He’s The One

Free shipping on all orders over $75🎄

We hear it all the time: “God has the perfect man picked out for you. And when you find him you will just know.” I agree with this statement and I find myself saying it to many women as well. But, because God has our life planned out and He knows whom we are going to marry, women can get so wrapped up in that truth that they are afraid they are going to pick the wrong person. Doubt can fill your mind when you start finding interest in a man that you could potentially marry. You ask, “Is this God’s will for me? Is this the man I will spend the rest of my life with? What if there is another man out there?”

Stop worrying. I know that choosing a husband is a huge deal, but there are two truths that will make saying yes to the man of your dreams so much easier!

God is sovereign. God knows your life and He has planned every detail for you. He knows who you will marry, how many kids you will have, where you will live, and the struggles that you will go through. It is not our goal in life to uncover his master plans. It is our goal to offer our body as a living sacrifice and to be transformed in the renewing of our minds so that we may know the will of God. (Romans 12:1-2) When we do this, He will line up the details of our lives using the desires He placed in our hearts. Through Him and reading His word, we will desire the kind of man that He wants us to marry.
God gives us freedom. Even though God is sovereign over our lives and He is all-knowing, He does not control us like puppets. Everyday, we are faced with tons of decisions to make. We have the free will to make wise decisions or unwise decisions. So therefore, it is completely up to us to decide whom we will marry. It is not a matter of a right or wrong decision. If you are seeking God and you know what scripture says about the kind of man you should marry, then you can make a wise decision. And just so you know, there is more than one man out there that qualifies as a Godly man. So now you are probably thinking, “Wait, if there are many Godly men and God is giving me the freedom to choose, how do I know if he is the one?” It is simply up to you. And that is where I go back to ‘when you know, you just know.’ I can’t even describe it, but you just have such a Godly peace when you truly know what kind of man you are looking for in a husband.

By God’s amazing grace and love for us, He leads us to our husbands. It looks differently for everyone but I am in love with every love story that I hear. I love to know how God brings two people together and unites them in marriage so that they may serve Him together as one.

The Proverbs 31 Woman for Teens

In: Faith, Teen, Tween

A girl with a noble character is hard to find. Her family can trust her. She sees things to be done and does them without being told. She has a good attitude when asked to do something.

Some Mothers Never Get Their Rainbow Baby

Sad woman with head in hands sitting on bed

Not everyone gets a rainbow baby—that’s a truth not many of us talk about. There are many women who long to have a rainbow baby but because of health or age, they never get one. We never talk about it. We don’t want to bring rain on someone’s otherwise happy day. “Oh, I’m so excited for you. Congratulations on your rainbow baby.” Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for mine. The clock is ticking and there is no sign of a rainbow baby. My body is wearing down and the chances of getting pregnant dwindle. I don’t mean to sound bitter. I’m...

Silhouette of family swinging child between two parents

As I sip my twice-reheated coffee holding one baby and watching another run laps around the messy living room, I catch bits and pieces of the Good Morning America news broadcast. My mind drifts off for a second to the dreams I once had of being the one on the screen. Live from New York City with hair and makeup fixed before 6 a.m. I really believed that would be me. I just knew I’d be the one telling the mama with unwashed hair and tired eyes about the world events that happened overnight while she rocked babies and pumped milk....

This Will Not Last Forever

In: Faith, Motherhood

“This will not last forever,” I wrote those words on the unfinished walls above my daughter’s changing table. For some reason, it got very tiring to change her diapers. Nearly three years later, the words are still there though the changing table no longer is under them. While my house is still unfinished so I occasionally see those words, that stage of changing diapers for her has moved on. She did grow up, and I got a break. Now I do it for her baby brother. I have been reminding myself of the seasons of life again. Everything comes and...

God Calls Me Flawless

In: Faith, Living

When I look in the mirror, I don’t always like what I see. I tend to focus on every imperfection, every flaw. As I age, more wrinkles naturally appear. And I’ve never been high maintenance, so the gray hairs are becoming more frequent, too. Growing up a lot of negative words were spoken about me: my body, my weight, my hair, my build. Words I’ve somehow carried my whole life. The people who proclaimed them as my truth don’t even remember what they said, I’m sure. But that’s the power of negative words. Sticks and stones may break our bones,...

Your Husband Needs Friendship Too

In: Faith, Friendship, Marriage

As the clock inches closer to 7:00 on a Monday evening, I pull out whatever dessert I had prepared that week and set it out on the kitchen counter. This particular week it’s a trifle, but other weeks it may be brownies, pound cake, or cookies of some kind. My eyes do one last sweep to make sure there isn’t a tripping hazard disguised as a dog toy on the floor and that the leftover dinner is put away. Then, my kids and I make ourselves scarce. Sometimes that involves library runs or gym visits, but it mostly looks like...

This Is Why Moms Ask for Experience Gifts

In: Faith, Living, Motherhood

Mother and young daughter under Christmas lights wearing red sweaters

When a mama asks for experience gifts for her kids for Christmas, please don’t take it as she’s ungrateful or a Scrooge. She appreciates the love her children get, she really does. But she’s tired. She’s tired of the endless number of toys that sit in the bottom of a toy bin and never see the light of day. She’s tired of tripping over the hundreds of LEGOs and reminding her son to pick them up so the baby doesn’t find them and choke. She’s tired of having four Elsa dolls (we have baby Elsa, Barbie Elsa, a mini Elsa,...

When You Just Don’t Feel Like Christmas

In: Faith, Living

It’s hard to admit, but some years I have to force myself to decorate for Christmas. Some years the lights look a little dimmer. The garlands feel a bit heavier. And the circumstances of life just aren’t wrapped in a big red bow like I so wish they were. Then comparison creeps in like a fake Facebook friend and I just feel like hiding under the covers and skipping it all. Because I know there’s no way to measure up to the perfect life “out there.” And it all just feels heavier than it used to. Though I feel alone,...

When Your Kids Ask, “Where Is God?”

In: Faith, Kids

How do I know if the voice I’m hearing is God’s voice? When I was in high school, I found myself asking this question. My dad was a pastor, and I was feeling called to ministry. I didn’t know if I was just hearing my dad’s wish or the call of God. I was worried I was confusing the two. It turns out, I did know. I knew because I was raised to recognize the presence of God all around me. Once I knew what God’s presence felt like, I also knew what God’s voice sounded like. There is a...

Woman looking at pregnancy test with hand on her head and sad expression

To the woman who is struggling with infertility. To the woman who is staring at another pregnancy test with your flashlight or holding it up in the light, praying so hard that there will be even the faintest line. To the woman whose period showed up right on time. To the woman who is just ready to quit. I don’t know the details of your story. I don’t know what doctors have told you. I don’t know how long you have been trying. I don’t know how many tears you have shed. I don’t know if you have lost a...
