Today it is just what I needed - hope and encouragement. I used to think I would be so old and mature when I turned 18 - as I am about too - and ready for commitment. I see so clearly that is not so! I too wrote a letter - when I was 13, to myself at 17. It was very interesting.... Oh how I enjoyed your story. Today it is just what I needed – hope and encouragement.

It was a great encouragement to me. It's neat to see how God works in different ways...not everyone marries a guy they've known or liked for years (and somehow known that he was the "one" all along, although I know that may be true for some). I love your articles and have been visiting your blog since discovering it through the YLCF. God bless! I loved reading your sweet story, Lanier. It was a great encouragement to me.

I don't even remember what it was, but its envelope carries the message, "To Be Opened Upon Receiving an Offer of Courtship." I'm sure it will be fascinating. You know, I think I'm all right with waiting. I'm 22 now, and sometimes I feel very lonely, but the years ahead look pretty exciting, no matter what!

I am also waiting for "My Mr. Knightly" (or maybe "my Mr. Darcy"... :). Thank you for encouraging other young "ladies in waiting" with your own stories. As I will be 20 next year, I struggle at times with contentment, but I truly do find contentment and true happiness in Christ! I know that when my time does come, though, that I will be able to whole-heartedly give myself to my man, since I have saved my heart for him.

That was beautiful (like all your writings)...and also very encouraging since I'm at a similar place...very ready to be married (in my eyes), yet no prospects in sight. You should have Natalie add this to the YLCF Courtship Stories...it would make a wonderful addition! Have a beautiful day! Oh, thank you!
