Written on 7/5/17 Dear God, I know you write each of us unique love stories, and that some of us will get married someday and some of us will be single forever. Thank You for the plans You have for us! I praise You because you are creative in how each of us looks different, have different personalities, and have different stories. God, if it is in Your will for my best friend to get married someday, I want to… Read more »
Typically I hate the part of wedding receptions when the bride tosses the bouquet. I find it awkward and uncomfortable. When I was single, it was a reminder that I didn’t have a boyfriend. Once I started dating, the thought of catching it made me dread the “When are y’all getting married?” questions that would soon follow. But last summer, I unexpectedly felt something different. During the wedding reception of my boyfriend’s brother’s wedding, I found myself wanting to catch the bouquet for… Read more »
When Bonnie told me her story, I immediately asked her if she would consider sharing it here on Joy Because Grace. I’ve had other guest bloggers share about writing letters to your future husband (you can read those here and here), but I thought it would be awesome for Bonnie to share why she firmly believes that you should NOT write to your future husband.

The following is a guest post by Abigail Tovah A few years ago, I was driving with my brother and his wife on a Sunday afternoon, when we started re-hashing their recent wedding. Brittney told me about the wedding gift she gave Kenan, and I instantly fell in love with the idea. During her single years, Brittney kept a journal with letters and prayers for her future husband. She explained to me how it works, and a few days later, I… Read more »
I took a yoga class this semester for my PE credit. Oh my goodness, I think I’ve found a form of exercise that I actually enjoy! I love how yoga works out your whole body and you get your heart pumping… but without running! Kara doesn’t run. (I think the last time I ran was this one time seven months ago when I was babysitting for a family and their dogs got loose and I had to chase them through… Read more »
The following is a guest post by Kristen of kristenshane.com For the past three years, I’ve been writing to someone I’ve never met. Sounds crazy, right? But what’s even crazier is that eventually, that person won’t be a stranger at all, but (God-willing) my best friend, the love of my life, and the dad to my future kiddos. Since we’ll share so much of our lives together, it’s not so crazy that I’d want to start thinking about and praying for… Read more »
Here on Joy Because Grace, we’ve discussed praying for our future husbands quite a bit. We’ve discussed why it’s important, ways we can pray for them, and what we can pray for them.

Now, I’m not saying here that the only reason we should be praying for our… Read more »
