- Don't give in to the desperation and hopelessness of your singleness. God had me single for a reason. He was working in my heart things that would have been very difficult to do while in a relationship. God has a purpose for singleness.
- Don't do nothing in the name of waiting. Faith doesn't mean you sit back and let life happen to you. Faith takes steps. God loves active waiters. So actively wait: go to singles meetings, dress up, go online, pray and ask others to pray.
- Don't settle. God gave me someone that exceeded my expectations. He is smart, funny, handsome. He loves the Lord. He (sometimes) beats me at scrabble. He enjoys movies. He talks about God, Jesus, and church pretty seamlessly. He loves me. He loves me so well. God has exceeded my expectations beyond what I could ever imagine. So don't settle.
- Don't "arouse or awaken love until it so desires." God has honored my sexual purity. God will honor my sexual purity. God will look on me with pleasure on my wedding night when I am presented to my husband pure. I stand with no regrets and no baggage in that regard.
- Don't date potential. If you can't respect him now, you shouldn't be with him.
- Don't lose hope. Godly men do exist. Dave loves Jesus. He is a leader. He is kind. He loves me so well. He protects me better than I do myself. These men, though rare, do exist.
God gave me a man. A godly man. A good man.
