"You can't attract a Boaz until you're a Ruth."

So its a beautiful day outside. If you haven't spent any time outside yet, I encourage you to. :) I already had my devotion, wrote in my journal, & walked outside. I might even wash my car. I'm just taking a break from the sun before I go out back again!

I talked to one of my favorite people ever earlier today! Her name is Katie, shes sixteen & I know her from camp. She worked last summer for her first time & we're both working again this summer. Katie is so awesome, shes somebody who is younger than me but I admire how daily she seeks out our Lord. Anyway, whenever me & her talked, we get on the issue of guys. Both of us are always finding new ways to make waiting for our future husbands worth while. We love our husbands already & we want to give everything to them. But you know, sometimes we get impatient, cause we're human.

So anyway I was talking to her today & she told me that lately shes been making a list of what she wants in a guy. But not only she is praying God is shaping him into that, but shes working on developing those habits herself! I was reading a book by Jackie Kendall & she writes that, "You can't attract a Boaz until you're a Ruth." What better way to live that quote out than to work on the qualities you want in a husband than to start working on yourself? But remember it shouldn't be qualities that are ridiculous like, "He has to buy me expensive stuff", or "He needs to have dark hair", etc. They should be more about your character, your relationship with God, your heart. Like "He grows in the Lord daily". Stuff like that.

For my challenge over the few weeks, I'm going to working on becoming the kind of woman version of what I want my future husband to be like. I'm going to take each quality week by week. I'll keep you updated. :)
