I myself have struggled with needing the approval of others many times. This post is a great reminder on who our strength and approval comes from. Thank you for your transparency and humbleness!

I was living in Spain at the time, having not yet met Rick. My mother called me and asked me to be a pen pal with a girl in her church who was studying Spanish... of course, I agreed. Turns out the girl was Rick's fiance. I'll never forget when she wrote to me saying.... "God showed me who I am marrying isn't right" and "I know who your husband is going to be", though she didn't say whom... Honestly, I thought the last part was ridiculous because I had plans to be a single missionary... and had no romantic intentions toward anyone. Surely THAT is only something that God could've set up. Don't you think? When you know it's God speaking, err on the side of obeying. It'll all work out better that way.
