I thought I\u2019d never meet my Mr. Wonderful. I met every other kinda guy \u2026 I\u2019d think he was Mr. Wonderful, and then the next one, or maybe his friend? But no. I had a list of characteristics that I wanted my Mr. Wonderful to have. Nice guy, loves God, gentle, kind, tall, dark, handsome and a few other things.<\/p>\n
Then my mom told me one day \u201cLisa, don\u2019t make this long list of characteristics you want God to give you in a man. He already knows all the things you need and want in a guy. Ask Him to make you into the woman that would be the perfect match for that Mr. Wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n
No matter how hard I looked, I could never find him. So I started to do just as my mom suggested and finally gave up and just started to really serve God. I had so much fun that the years of serving seemed to fly right by. I went to a Singles retreat in the mountains with my church \u2026 and as I was busy about all the fun retreat things, I met a guy. Nice guy and he was cute! But he was just one of a bunch of other girls and guys having fun at a retreat.<\/p>\n
When I came down the mountain after the retreat, I had peace in my heart and a song on my tongue. I had no idea what would happen next. Two weeks after the retreat, my phone rang. It was that \u201cNice guy\u201d I met at the retreat. For the first time in years my heart leapt. Wow! Something just happened inside of me and I hadn\u2019t felt that before.<\/p>\n
He was one of the leaders of the retreat and he asked if it was OK that he was calling me. We talked on the phone and started to get to know each other. We went out on some group outings and as we got to know each other we started to fall in love. Guess what! He was my Mr. Wonderful!<\/p>\n
What did I do to find him? I did just as my mom suggested. I entrusted my \u2018wish list\u2019 to God. I asked Him to make me into the woman that would make a Mr. Wonderful a happy man.<\/p>\n
Today that Mr. Wonderful is my husband and there isn\u2019t a day that goes by that I\u2019m not glad I gave my wish list to God and I didn\u2019t settle for second best. I got the very best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
