今天给家打电话，悉知一事。该事发生在上个周一，即7月28日，农历六月廿六。我们村一、六逢集。母亲在集上遇某人，说要给我说个媳妇。同一天下午，我收到教会一弟兄的电话，也问我是否考虑谈对象的事。我想，这事定非巧合。神的心意我们是知道的，信与不信原不相配，不可同负一轭。所以在电话中母亲问我的意见，我就说不信主的不要。
但是，神所预定的是哪一个，到眼下还真不清楚。我现在的想法是，明年回石家庄找工作，或范围扩延至河北及京津地区，并愿在家乡那边为神有所事奉。因为我的家乡教会荒凉，神的民稀少。这只是我自己的算盘，却不知神的旨意如何。不管怎么说，在青岛所寻找的，未必能跟我跑大老远去异省异民中吧？在石家庄恐怕也难找，因为我不是在家乡的教会中信主的，我信的时候我的家乡还没有教会，到现在其实也可说没有。
其实倒不必想这么多。有许多事在人不能，但在神凡事都能。我只需默然等候，时候到了，天父定差遣他的老仆人将她带来。至于她是骑着骆驼来，还是坐着宝马来，那就是次要的了。房屋钱财，是祖宗所遗留的；惟有贤慧的妻，是耶和华所赐的。
以下经文引自箴言书31章10至31节。
31:10 才德的妇人，谁能得着呢，他的价值胜过珍珠。
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
31:11 他丈夫心里倚靠他，必不缺少利益。
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
31:12 他一生使丈夫有益无损。
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
31:13 他寻找羊绒和麻，甘心用手作工。
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
31:14 他好像商船从远方运粮来。
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
31:15 未到黎明他就起来，把食物分给家中的人。将当作的工分派婢女。
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
31:16 他想得田地，就买来。用手所的之利，栽种葡萄园。
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
31:17 他以能力束腰，使膀臂有力。
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
31:18 他觉得所经营的有利，他的灯终夜不灭。
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
31:19 他手拿捻线竿。手把纺线车。
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
31:20 他张手周济困苦人，伸手帮补穷乏人。
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
31:21 他不因下雪为家里的人担心，因为全家都穿着朱红衣服。
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
31:22 他为自己制作绣花毯子，他的衣服，是细麻和紫色布作的。
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
31:23 他丈夫在城门口与本地的长老同坐，为众人所认识。
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
31:24 他作细麻衣裳出卖。又将腰带卖与商家。
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
31:25 能力和威仪，是他的衣服。他想到日后的景况就喜笑。
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
31:26 他开口就发智慧。他舌上有仁慈的法则。
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
31:27 他观察家务，并不吃闲饭。
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
31:28 他的儿女起来称他有福。他的丈夫也称赞他，
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
31:29 说，才德的女子很多，惟独你超过一切。
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
31:30 艳丽是虚假的。美容是虚浮的。惟敬畏耶和华的妇女，必得称赞。
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31:31 愿他享受操作所得的。愿他的工作，在城门口荣耀他。
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
