Lately I've been doing alot of reflection on the type of man I want and need next time around. Tonight I had a major revelation. I can lump alot of the qualities I'm looking for under the umbrella of one word: Godly.
I went to a worship service tonight and God hit me over the head with this interesting notion. I looked up at the dramatization of the Last Supper and saw all the men in the church up there portraying the disciples and Jesus and thought about how really amazing each of those men are.
I have always had this knee jerk reaction to the philosophy that a man should be the head of the family and spiritual leader. Probably because most of the men who said it to me, I wouldn't trust to care for a puppy much less my spiritual walk. But as I looked at these men and thought about their wives and families it occurred to me, that it has been a journey for these men to get to where they are and though they may be the unspoken leader of their household, not a single one of them would ever even consider saying that out loud. That's the measure of an amazing man. They remain humble and are always quick to point out that the best part about themselves is their wife.
Then, just to seal the deal I had a wonderful woman come up to me and express her to desire to set me up with a man. Not just any man, a man who has a very firm spiritual base. A godly man.
I mean who knows what will happen and I'm certainly not building this up into a magical moment and getting all gushy before I've really even spent time around this man, but it has definitely changed my perspective on how to view men as prospects moving forward.
