This blog is inspired by the awesome men of S squad, my father and the great men back home who I've had the privilege to see set the example of what a Godly man should look like. I love you all and encourage you to keep showing the world how it’s done cause "The Eyes Are Watching".
God I thank you for Godly desires you instill in me. Thank you for shaping my heart to look more like yours. I also thank you that when you give me desires I can in turn lay them at your feet because you tell me to cast all my cares on you because you care for me.
So I come to you today Daddy, not with urgency and or demanding anything, But as a little girl wanting to sit on your lap and let you know what's in my heart.
Today I come to share with you this excitement that is welling up in me. It's not an excitement for a new desire but one that has been lying dormant with not much focus given to it.
Today I come to whisper in your ear this growing desire for a…………..
Man.
And not just any man daddy, because You have shown me the truth of Your word and You are teaching me to find my identity in You. So I come to ask you with hope and expectancy for a MAN.
To be more direct, a husband. Someone to share my life with. Someone to run alongside of as we chase after You. I want a man after your own heart. Someone who seeks You out daily, who knows You but wants to know You more. Someone who is in a passionate pursuit of an intimate relationship with You and every aspect of his life shows his desire to know You and walk with You. I want a man of compassion, and kindness. A man of patience and perseverance. A man who is wise, who speaks with wisdom on his lips but also a man of discernment who knows when to let silence do its work. A man of honor and respect, especially when it comes to my parents and the elderly (Cause I don't play that!). A man who is funny, and is someone who I can have fun with and be myself.
I'd love a man I could partner in ministry with. Someone who respects what I have to bring to the table but knows that together we can help bring light to the dark places. Someone who desires to see people's lives changed for the glory of You. A man who is a leader and who understands that being a leader means being a servant. A man who is patient and thoughtful, not selfish, but understands the responsibility of being a husband and how his actions don’t effect just himself but his family and others as well. A man who understands and appreciates what I consider the roles of males and females to be. Someone who can appreciate the differences in males and females and lead by not domineering over me but takes great consideration of my opinion and makes it easy to submit to his authority as head of our household.
Also daddy, can he please be tall??? Preferably with a deep voice, some nice muscles (yea I put that in there) and a cute smile. It would also help a lot if he likes football and swimming. Yea God, you've created some hot looking guys and what can I say, I want one 🙂
But most of all God I only want a guy if that relationship will bring me closer to You. He must challenge me to be the woman You have called me to be. He must push me to go further in my relationship with You because if anything gets in the way of me and You, I don't need it. He must remind me that you are first in my life (cause you know I need frequent reminders).
But God I don't just pray for him. I pray for me. I pray You continue to do a work in me. Molding me into a woman after Your own heart. Make me the type of woman that would be good for him. Someone who can support him, respect him, and encourage him. Someone who can be patient with him and trust that You are working in him even when I can't see it. Make me someone who will push him towards You and challenge him to go further and deeper in the things of Christ.
So here it is father. This is my wish, my hope, my dream. Do with it what you will. Im in no rush and I have no anxieties cause my heart rest in Your promise of Isaiah 26:3.
This I ask,
From Your little girl
In De Nombre De Jesus
Amen
