( Find God, Find
yourself, Find money, and then Find me).
#Dearfuturehusband,
I know you are doing
great and fulfilling what God has purposed for you at this moment. “I miss you”.
For the past few days, there has been a new trend of posts and statuses updates
on social media, “#dearfuturehusband”, and my timeline has been flooded,
therefore I decided to write to you an open letter, obviously longer than the
tags on Facebook, and I hope, I pray, this letter gets to your soft palms.
#Dearfuturehusband,
Please, before you seek
me, find God, find yourself, find money, and then find me
FINDING GOD
Is it not obvious?, if
you are already stalking me or yet to, you Would have realized that I take My
Jesus serious. (Are you prepared to go on that serious journey with me?)
One of my favorite
cartoons from Disney ever is “Finding Nemo”. (So Nemo disobeyed his dad and
went out swimming on the wild waters and he got lost, his dad went out to find
him, he travelled through thick waters and dangerous sharks. On his way he
encountered others fishes ( Nemo is a fish), some of those other fishes helped
him, others did not help him, they thought he was crazy trying to find a son
who probably did not EXIST anymore. All in all it was a very difficult journey,
but when he finally found Nemo, there was all joy and laughter.
In this case you are
not a fish, and God is definitely not missing and He surely exists, but the
believer’s journey might seem difficult at the beginning, people might not
understand the new you, some will help/encourage you and others will discourage
you, but once you find God, He will reach out to you and there is nothing from
there but happiness. You cannot find genuine happiness anywhere else but with
God. In God you will learn to trust and be trusted, to love genuinely, to be faithful and patient, once you learn all these, then I will know that I am in safe hands. Just make the effort, and if you already are on the right path, keep the
fire burning don’t quench it.
FINDING YOURSELF
“yes you are not lost,
you know yourself better than anyone else, you have things going good for
you”….”BUT REALLY?”
Nemo wanted to prove to
his father that he was brave, that he was not afraid to go out into the
dangerous waters by himself, that he could do all things by himself, at the end
he realized he was wrong, and that he needed his father’s guidance, you might have
by now after finding God realized that you need Him, in all things. “I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me”
If I met you today, off
course I would love the idea of my man knowing and planning towards where we
will be having dinner tomorrow, or what we will be eating there (I love food so
it is the best example), but, what about five years from now?, (eyes wide
opened). I don’t expect you to know where exactly, or what exactly we will be
eating in five years, I however expect that you are making great preparations
towards it. If we eat dinner at a restaurant today, are we going to have dinner
in our private yacht five years from now?....(sounds good).
Many young guys of our generation love to
chill and ball, I don’t expect you to work 24/7 without a break, but if it
won’t matter in five years…”then drop it now!!!”….ooops I already sound like a
nagging wife, NO my love, I am just concerned.
The last time I was a
baby-sitter was about ten years ago, and then even my little brother was just
five. I am not looking forward to marrying a boy, I want me a Man so please
don’t come and make my breast fall faster than they should by acting babyish.
Not to say you will not
be pampered my love, but only when it is necessary, find you a career, work on
yourself, explore your talents and use them to your benefit and that of
society, set goals and work hard towards achieving them, I will give you all
the support when necessary, just don’t let me do all the work. I expect you to
know and do what you should know and do.
FINDING MONEY
“Clears throat”
“Is this that scary
word or topic that drives boys away?”, YES I said boys because a man knows that
before he seeks a woman, he should be ready and able to take up the position of
the head and be responsible.
I am not just waiting
for any man, I am praying and waiting for my Boaz to reach out to me in the
fields and provide me more of what I am working for. Do not think that I am
just sitting around waiting on you to arrive, NO, I am on the fields (not a
rice field though), I am working on myself, my career, my future and I do not
expect anything less, I expect that you come and wipe my sweat and give me some
rest, not to push me out to the field to do even more because you, my dear one
is not ready (still a boy).
I will support my
husband whenever I can, but believe me, I am not hoping and praying that you
will need my support every day, “money-wise”. The main reason I remember you in
my prayers, is that God blesses you with riches, but then also, my prayers will
only fall on rocky fields if you do not get out there and work hard, and while
working hard, be honest, spend and save wisely, pay your tithe, and help the
poor, (this way your cup will never run dry).
FINDING ME
I am not difficult to
find at all, I do not wear five layers of foundation on my face so I am easy to
spot right away (not to say I don’t wear makeup, I do). I am however a bit
difficult to please though.
Just know for now that,
you cannot please me if you pretend to be who you are not, you cannot please me
if you come calling me pet names on our first date etc. just be yourself off
course with good qualities as earlier mentioned.
I am praying for you,
you also should please remember me in your prayers for I am not perfect, and I
promise you will love me if you get to know me.
#Dearfuturehusband
Please find God, find yourself, find money, and
then find me
NOTE
If you are not ready,
wait a bit more, I am not in a hurry (just don’t let me get to the grey hair
stage before you show up)
I
LOVE YOU
Yours,
WIFEY.💓
