The Chase: Trusting God with Your Happily Ever AfterBy: Kyle and Kelsey KupeckyFrom a Great-Aunt's point of view:I am 45 years old and 24 years ago this August 31st, I found my Happily Ever After. Back then, growing up and while looking for love, we were loving God, trusting God and honoring God in all we did. We made mistakes along the way and we didn't chase God before chasing our guy. My guy and I met in October, engaged in February and married in August. Our families supported us and loved us. We both shared the same faith and our 24 years together has been so amazing. Special in every way and he's my Prince Charming and I'm his Princess. My husband honors me, loves me and encourages me to be the best person I can be. He stands by me through thick and thin. He's always showing me in small and big ways how much he loves me. I think it's so special as he still gets occasional 'shout outs' from elders thanking him for for opening my car door. Yep, to this day, he still does that. We still hold hands going to sleep each night. We still share our love for each other in so many ways. And that will continue as he is my forever!! One thing we never had was a child. I think to myself, wow, if we had a child even a year after we were married, I may be planning a wedding today or even be a grandparent or even have a child in high school. It's kinda scary. It's scary in the way that I would be scared for my child or grandchild growing up in the world the way it is today. Peer pressure, politics, social media....all those things. I do not know first hand what that is like for my own child. But we do have an 8 year old great-niece, whom we are extremely close too, growing up in today's world. In 5 more years she'll be entering her teenage years.
The Chase is a wonderful book all about trusting God with your happily ever after. As someone who has yet to find mine, this book was a big deal for me. Reading great advice about chasing God, staying away from unhealthy relationships, and always building your guy up were inspiring, and I loved the insight into how guys think. With chapters like “God First”, “The List”, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T”, and “Just Haven’t Met You Yet”, this book really did cover all of the bases, and it was full of examples of how things were done differently and how painful that was for the couples involved. I felt like that gave girls another reason to try their hardest to do things the right way, and I am sure it was super encouraging. Along with all of the great advice and ways to apply it to your life, I really enjoyed getting to learn all about Kyle and Kelsey’s story. They really do have a fairy-tale relationship, and it was super sweet to read about how much they love each other. I know you are not supposed to compare your relationship to anyone else’s, but I hope I have a fairy-tale too someday. They both really chased the Lord leading up to the day they met, and I don’t think their relationship would have worked out so well as it did, if they even started dating at all, if it weren’t for their dedication to Christ. It was inspiring to hear and actual success story, as it made it so much easier to believe that what they were advising was actually doable. And I also just love that they took on the project of writing a book like this. I cannot help but give The Chase all five bookshelves, because it is such a good book for girls, and women, who are waiting for their princes.
