The List

Late last night I facebook chatted with one of my very long time friends, Danielle. She helped me so much to sort through my feelings. I'm so glad to have her as a friend. She told me to make a list of things that I absolutely have to have in a guy, such as "He has to love the Lord," and then whenever I start thinking of a guy I will compare him to the list. If he is missing even one quality there is no use in getting bent out of shape over him.

People have told me to make a list like this before but I've never believed them. This time though, I thought I'd give it a try. So here is my list thus far:

Absolutely must have:
He must love the Lord!
He must have visible faith (act on it)
He must care about children
He must have a vision for his future
He must have family envisioned in his future
He must be a hard worker
He must not be an easy flirt
He must not drop sexual references in ordinary language
He must have a sense of humor (and understand my humor)
He must be knowledgeable in or at least care about what interests me
