"Praying for your future Husband" by Robin Jones Gunn

Well part of my Elizabeth's story was published in a book "Praying for Your Future Husband" by Robin Jones Gunn. It came out this week just before Mother's Day---bittersweet when I finally got my hands on the book. At first we thought a reference to her was going to be only in the "Closing Thoughts" of the book but part of her story was also in Chapter 7--about 2 1/2 pages---well written and very moving. It reminded me of the very tender heart that Beth had. The sincerety with which she lived out her life. The compassion she had and the desires she had to follow Christ and be pure and holy. She also wanted to trust God in the area of relationships and little did we know that after being inspired by Robin Jones Gunn--she had been writing notes in her journal to her future husband and she had written letters to her future husband and placed them in a box under her bed. Her tender words move me deeply. I pray God will use her story to point other teenage girls to Christ and encourage them to live pure and holy lives as they wait for their one True Love.
