There are some things that you can’t compromise on… That’s why I made a list. =) It wasn’t long. I mean, sometimes you need something on paper that tells you “HELLO!? Remember!!” It was stuff like, he has to love God, praying about courting me(or what we might call “having a special relationship”, etc.

Incidentally, the advice given in this post is the exact reason I have never made a “list.” (And you more than anyone, Natalie, know how much I’ve thought about it! ;-P)

That’s good advice April. Thanks for that. It pulled my feet out of self pity. xD

When I think about how wonderful my man is I often feel a little ashamed. I still don’t think I deserve him. And yet it seems not too long ago that I had such a long list of imperitives of what a young man ought to be, along with an ego about as tall as my list was long. I never knew I’d be telling God, Lord, I can’t possibly deserve him! Or every time I hear those three words, wanting to ask, Why? I think I’ll be striving to deserve him, as the blessing from God that he is, for the rest of my life.

I had a revelation of sorts on Father’s Day. Our pastor preached on the responsibility of fathers, realizing that any man, whether a father or not should strive to reach certain personal goals and levels of excellence. I wrote these down and then compared them to areas in my own life that need instruction and improvement should I ever wish to be a wife and mother. We really shouldn’t lay all responsibility on their shoulders–expecting them to be perfect while accepting much less than that for us!
