Dear Future Wife,

How are you doing? I hope you’re doing fantastic. If not, I certainly wish I could come to you right now and comfort you.

I don’t have any idea if we’re just miles apart, or nations apart. Nonetheless, I find relief that you don't need me right now, and there’s a reason behind that. You are a strong woman – I know you’ll get through it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately, and I wonder:

What do you look like? What do you like to do? I wonder what your dreams and passions are. I wonder what struggles you’re going through. I wonder what makes you cry, even though the thought of you crying breaks my heart. I wonder what makes you happy ‘cause I’m thrilled to soon play a part in that.

I wonder what you’re doing as I write this. I wonder if you think about me, too.

You see, God is the one who calms me down whenever I encounter these thoughts. He always tells me, “Be patient, my son. You’ll find her at the right time.” I am also reminded that my satisfaction is found in Him alone, and not on any person or thing. Then I’ll be at peace. With that said, I’ve talked to God about you many times – asking Him to guide and protect you in every way, and give you the strength to endure when you feel like giving up. And that’s the only thing that I could do right now – entrust you to Him.

If you’re wondering how I’m doing, I’d be lying if I say everything is going well. A lot of things are going on.

So I have to tell you (and please don’t get me wrong): but you are not my priority right now.

God is still grooming me to be the man that He wants me to be for you, so when the right time comes, I’ll be perfect for you. I’ll graduate college first, work, save money, be stable and then that’s it – I will find you and I will pursue you. You can bet on it.

But for now, I will wait. We will wait. There is a time for everything. As Brooke Fraser’s song goes, “When it’s time to walk that way, we wanna walk it well.”

We will not rush love and potentially ruin something great. As much as I want to fast forward everything and just be with you now, there is beauty in the waiting. We learn things in the waiting and we grow in the waiting. Each passing moment sets and primes us for that glorious meeting – our meeting – and that’s what makes it worth it. You are worth it.

I’ll keep praying for you – for us. But I will put God first in everything, and as I do that, everything will fall right into place.

For the time being, I’ll be singing to strangers about you.

With the purest love,

Your Future Husband

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
