I think everyone is allowed one really personal yet public post on their multiply every few months. This is mine. I was just thinking about what exactly is the type of girl I'd like to end up with. I think the last time I did this was in March over my 23rd birthday. Now, it's practically november. It's about time to give it another shot.
See, first of all, I'm a hopeless romantic. This is what I do. There are days that I wonder what kind of person I would like to end up with, what characteristics she could have, where she would want to go in life. Etc, etc, etc...And since this is public, I am only talking about character cause (oddly enough) physical characteristics seem to not be that big a deal in the sense that almost every girl I've liked in my life has looked very different from the others. So that's why we won't dwell on the physical.
First and one of the most important is that I want her to challenge me to grow spiritually. As the guy, I'm supposed to be the spiritual head, and this means that i want to be challenged to be the spiritual head. It would be cool if I could end up with a girl who really loves God and wants to know Him so deeply that it keeps me from growing stagnant or (worse) arrogant in my relationship with God. She should have this immesnely deep and strong relationship with God - one that really points everyone to Christ.
Secondly, she has to be called to work in the Philippines. I am sure that this is where God wants me to be. I'm not going anywhere else. No other country is an option.
Thirdly, money should not be that big a deal to the girl. Living luxuriously is something that I know I'm not really called to do. She would have no problem adapting to circumstances, whether hard or difficult. In short - she could get stuck in an elevator for an hour and not really freak out. She is someone who is willing to sacrifice even comforts for Christ.
She has to also be other focused. I'm someone who loves to really reach out and ministry to people. The coolest thing would be for the both of us to go out and minister and encourage and lift people closer to God together. I have a friend who does this with his wife (and even when they were just dating). It was so awesome hanging out with them.
She would also be deep, in the sense that she enjoys quiet just as much as the fun. She can enjoy simply sitting down and reading a book (or comic book :-). She can go for long walks. She can just chill at a starbucks. She has a sense of imagination - the ability to see things with new excitement every time. There is a fun moment in even the simple stuff like browsing for clothes or walking through a grocery or the city or along a beach.
She's completely unpredictable - every moment with her is an adventure! Structured unpredictability? She is absolutely fun loving and up to wild crazy ideas and has no problem coming up with them and convincing me to go ahead and do them. At the same time, she's game for pretty much any good idea (basta, it's a good idea)
Must love dogs....lol...actually, she just has to be an animal person.
She should enjoy food :-) Like, enjoys the idea of taste and appreciates food beyond its ability to fill you up.
She should like kids cause I don't really like kids that much :-P
She knows her priorities.
She should love her family
She should not mind that I love reading comics :-)
She is level-headed and reliable (while still keeping that unpredictable quality)
Yeah...I could probably keep going on and on. But these are just somethings that have gone through my mind as I watched a film tonight. Lol. Funny, how the show had NOTHING to do with relationships at all. But it's just one of those things - it's nice to pray for whoever she may be, that God protects her and allows me to meet her sometime soon, hopefully, and that we'll just both know that we're meant for each other. Sounds very ideal and I know it's not that likely to happen. But I do believe God takes the time to write each of our love stories - how we'll meet, what we'll do, etc, etc. God's going to take care of it. Until then, I'm going to wait, no matter how hard that may be. And as most people know - waiting on the Lord is not ever an easy thing.
So there you go - a little peek into my mind. Lol.
"Let the pain and the sorrow be washed away in the waves of His mercy as deep cries out to deep...we sing come, Lord Jesus, come."

He Will Always Be There by Supertones
VERSE 1
Who am i that you would pay me mind?
Who am i that you would take the time to find me?
Who am i that you'd reach out your hand?
Lord what am i but just a sinful sinking man?
I didn't even know who God was,
until he told me he's my dad
Refrain
And its just because He loved me
And he'd rather die than live without me
He loved me and He'd rather go through hell
than go to heaven without me
And i love Him and i'll stay with him until the end of time
One thing i know, God gave His life for mine
CHORUS
He will always be, He will always
be, He will always be there
VERSE 2
Who am i that you would know my name?
Who am i that you'd help me win this losing game?
Who am i that you'd stay all day by my side?
God i fail but at least you know i tried
I didn't even know who he was,
then God told me i'm His son
BRIDGE
I count on God, i love him best
He helps me through my trials and tests
He'll always be there when i call,
always catch me when i fall
He will always be there
Who am i that you would pay me mind?
Who am i that you would take the time to find me?
Who am i that you'd reach out your hand?
Lord what am i but just a sinful sinking man?
I didn't even know who God was,
until he told me he's my dad
Refrain
And its just because He loved me
And he'd rather die than live without me
He loved me and He'd rather go through hell
than go to heaven without me
And i love Him and i'll stay with him until the end of time
One thing i know, God gave His life for mine
CHORUS
He will always be, He will always
be, He will always be there
