Dear God,
On our way home last Wednesday, my new friends were talking about their partners (husband and boyfriend). It was just natural for them to ask if I have one. I wasn't surprised. People always ask me the same question; but, my answer has never changed. It's always "No." They would ask why. I would say, "I don't know." They'll reply by throwing another query which is if I already had one before. I would smile and proclaim that I'm a member of the NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth) club. Going back to the conversation with my friends, they advised me to pray for the one and be specific with it. They said that my prayer will be answered.
Actually, I've been wondering why I don't have a boyfriend yet or why I'm having a hard time finding one. I don't even know if I'm ready for it. Maybe, that's the reason. In any case, I hope I'll be prepared someday. I wish I'll be mature enough for that commitment.
When that day comes, Lord.. I have some requests.. I want someone who loves You more than anyone and anything in this world, Catholic but not a priest, Lord. ;) I believe everything good follows when he's like that. He'll be a good and matured person who'll understand and accept me as "me." He'll be good enough to be sensitive for the needs of other people and be loyal with me. He'll be supportive to whatever I want in life and open to anything and everything. In this way, we can do and try lots of activities. Though, he must know what he really wants. He must be brave enough to fight for it. Also, I like a man who's smart enough whom I can talk to about anything and who have a sense of humor. Physically, I would be pleased if he's a bit tall, a bit chubby, and good looking. It would also nice if he has fair complexion. Of course, he should be single or better if he's a few years older than me. I don't really like someone who's rich but I want the one who's a good provider - the one who can help me send our future children to school, enjoy, travel, etc. Finally, the man should be the one who loves me and whom I love.
It's funny because I'm like ordering something from a store or a restaurant. Again, these are just my requests, Lord. I know that you still know who's best for me, the one who'll grow and mature with me. Thank you! (Thanks also to my friends who helped me come up with this.)
For this, I pray in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
You are a very "Bright, Young Lady" and although I do not know you ~ and we live very, very far apart in the world ~ you have touched my heart so tenderly with your wisdom! Let this "Mantra" be yours as you move forward in life and the Lord finds the "right" partner for you. Come back to what you have started, and add things to "The List" because they are very, very important in reminding YOU that a relationship is two people that become one. You are a very mature young lady at your young age ~ do not be in a hurry for "The Special One" but indeed know what you wish of him ~ and of yourself . . . before ever taking a serious step toward a "long-term relationship".
ReplyDeleteYou are a rarity in the world of which we live now. I am so impressed by all that you have shared with us. Believe it or not ~ I am 44 years old, a Mother of a 19 y/o Son & we live in Las Vegas. You & I had similar matches in the Oprah Questionaaire and I was intrigued to know more about you.
Stay true to who YOU are ~ ALWAYS :)
From me:~ The Imperfect Girl ~ To You ~ The Innocent Seeker" Goodluck!
