Keep praying, and before you know it, you will have a new head to govern your sinful body.
I will rejoice over you on that day, because it will be a Glory to Jesus when you offer witness to prayers answered by Him. Any feelings of jealousy will be quashed within me (by virtue of constant prayer) and I will smile my brightest, horsey grin on your wedding day.
Just promise me that you won't wear one of those strapless wedding dresses that seem to be de rigueur these days.
What is wrong with young women nowadays? Would they normally wear a strapless dress in church? So why do they think it is appropriate when taking sacred vows to be pure and submissive?
Well, don't get me started on modern fashion, what matters is that you will honor Jesus by making some True Christian Man happy. Excuse me now, while I go choke back some tears.
Supportively Yours,
Handmaiden

Dear Handmaiden, thank you for your support, and I'm praying that the Lord will show you His plans soon, for you are such a darling woman. I'll pray for your husband so that he can man-up and be the husband a Christian woman like you deserves and needs. And, I wholeheartedly agree with you that fashion has gone bonkers and more sinful as women are to wear a modest gown when they marry and submit to their new heads. Lovingly in a sisterly fashion, Elizabeth
