Lady in Waiting

So my college roommate Melissa Reese gave me this book she owned called Lady in Waiting: Becoming God's Best While Waiting for Mr. Right by Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones. I started reading it a few weeks ago and it's great! It uses the story of Ruth in the Bible to focus on attributes that a single woman should desire and strive for. It helps you focus on becoming a better you, instead of desperately focusing on the traits you hope to find in "Mr. Right." It describes a lady in waiting with the following poem which I love....

Lady in Waiting
is not about finding the right man,
but becoming the right woman.
The Lady in Waiting
recklessly abandons herself
to the Lordship of Christ,
diligently uses her single days,
trusts God with unwavering faith,
demonstrates virtue in daily life,
loves God with undistracted devotion,
stands for physical and emotional purity,
lives in security,
responds to life in contentment,
makes choices based on her convictions,
and waits patiently for God to meet her needs.
