A while ago, I posted a topic called, "What about the next dude?" Someone fantastic has come into my life, so I thought I would compare him to the list that I wrote about 4 months ago. At the time I wrote that, I was in no shape to be in any type of relationship. It would have been a rebound relationship that was out of a matter of convenience. I needed some time to heal from my marriage, and time to find myself.
That being said...let's compare. The blue text indicates that this new person, fits that description.
what defines a good man?
Here is my list of qualifications (in no particular order):
- Single
- Faithful
- Loyal
- Literate(reads for sheer enjoyment, for educating purposes, reads to children)
- Sound(mentally)
- Intelligent but not arrogant
- Considerate
- Strong (emotionally, spiritually, mentally)
- Fun
- Honest with his feelings, thoughts and desires
- Responsible
- Emotionally available
- Eager to learn new things and new ways to do old things
- Rich in spiritual beliefs
- Employed
- Confidant
- Sensitive and gentle, but not a pushover
- Articulate
So what does this mean? I've found what I was looking for? Maybe...we'll see. I want to take my time with this, but at the same time, I do believe in fate. I believe certain people are supposed to be in your life at certain times, and if you push it, it won't work. If I had met this person 5 years ago, there is no way that we would have worked out. I was still at a point in my life where my only concern was myself, I wasn't able to be in an adult relationship. I'm a totally different person than I was 5 years ago or even 5 months ago. I'm emotionally stronger than I've ever been and I'm really ready to be in an adult relationship. I'm ready to be there for him and allow him into my life, I'm ready to stand by his side.
Everyone deserves someone who makes them happy. I've found that in him, and hopefully I'm making him happy as well.

fate - the principle or determining cause or will by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do :Destiny.
You're right....I do believe that fate has played an integral part in all this. One phrase that has been used throughout the centuries is "manifest destiny". You are making me happy.
James 1:1-6
"My friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble. You know that you learn to endure by having your faith tested. But you must learn to endure everything, so that you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything.
If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking. But when you ask for something, you must have faith and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like an ocean wave tossed around in a storm."
James 1:19-25
"My dear friends, you should be quick to listen and slow to speak or to get angry. If you are angry, you can not do any of the good things that God wants done. You must stop doing anything immoral or evil. Instead be humble and accept the message that is planted in you to save you.
Obey God's message! Don't fool yourselves by just listening to it. If you hear the message and don't obey it, you are like people who stare at themselves in a mirror and forget what they look like as soon as they leave. But you must never stop looking at the perfect law that sets you free. God will bless you in everything you do, if you listen and obey, and don't just hear and forget."
God puts people in our lives for a reason and/or a season(i.e fate/destiny). I am so glad that you have found exactly what you asked God for. Now, I am just looking forward to meeting the gift(anonymous said)that GOD has blessed you with:-)
