abideth
i remember awhile back when i would make up a list of requirements/traits that i looked for in a future wife...then i'd compare it to my friends' lists and proceed to give 'em suggestions of who to hook up with. albeit no one listened to my advice (probably a good idea), it was still fun making fun of 'em.
as i've matured (well...not really, but let's say hypothetically i did), i think my list has drastically changed relative to the one(s) i've previously made.
WHAT I NOW LOOK FOR IN A FUTURE WIFE
Physically:

Emotionally:

-
Spiritually:

"What in the boiled beets and cabbages is this list?" you may ask, "It's blank!". Ah, yes...it's blank indeed, and i'm not using invisi-text. why the blankness? cause something i've learned thru these past few years is that...sometimes it's better not to have expectations, nor to make plans. whenever i'd make plans to do something, i'd usually get a curve-ball thrown in or a wrench would find its way inside the gears (for recent example, see: Meat for the Pneumatos Retreat). thus i've concluded, it's best to let God decide what is best. this isn't to say that i'll become a lazy-buttocks and never plan again, no, rather...it is trusting that admist the plans, God may have something else better in mind. something to challenge, something to ignite, something...new.
