What you've been waiting for

"Boys, boys, boys, we like boys in cars" - Oh Lady Gaga.

On Sunday I went to the Met with three of my friends on the floor, we jokingly assigned three of us numbers so we can yell it out when we saw a guy who "fit our type" physically. However, for me, you can be the most attractive man on the planet, but it doesn't mean I'm going to like you. I am a picky individual (and I think others should be too!) when it comes to guys. Why settle for someone who treats you bad, has a bad personality, and has no goals for life. These are just a few things that are turn offs, but for me the hardest attributes to find come with the biggest non-negotiable. My faith. I've had people in the past question this and why it is so important, but lets examine this in all aspects of my life. I tithe 10% of my income, I'm sure if I married someone who didn't have a faith, they probably wouldn't like this idea when money gets tight. How about how you raise your children? Do they go to church with mom on Sunday or stay home with dad? Nope not dealing with that. Or how about when I need a strong Christian male in my life to keep me grounded, well that's kind of hard if you aren't. Ah, and another big dilemma for me living together before your married, Sorry if I'm old fashioned, but no. So you see, this is non-negotiable. Beyond just finding someone who is grounded (or at least is on that journey), I have a few other non-negotiable that more and more seem like these are going to be difficult to find. I know other may not agree with me on this one, but I refuse to have any form of alcohol in my house, ever, I don't think it's a good way to inspire your kids to not drink if you're throwing back a few at dinner. Paul states in 2 Corinthians 6:3  "We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited." and in 1 Corinthians 8: 9 "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak." and in Ephesians 1:4 "Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes" calling us to be holy. Well people ask me all the time why I don't drink and here you get the answer! I don't drink because God calls me to be holy and this is one way in which I have CHOSEN to "set apart" myself from the rest of society. I don't think anything good comes from alcohol (not even socially, by not drinking I've learn how to hang out with people and meet people sober, it is possible) ever. period. Sorry this is just my honest opinions. So therefore, I don't want to marry a guy who drinks and I don't want to marry someone who swears but who agrees to wait till marriage for sex because that is one "gift" that I can give only him one day. Plus, I have to be attracted to him. I know this just sounds like a list of impossible qualities to find in one person, BUT I KNOW that he exists because God has promised me in Psalms 37:4  "Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Therefore, I have faith and walk in this direction, not giving into society and all of it's downfalls. I hold on strong to what I believe and I wait, because through patience, I know one day, I'll meet him, and I can say, I waited for HIM, no one else. It always reminds me of a Rebecca St. James song that I use to listen to when I was like 10. So now you all know what is important to me when it comes to guys, yeah I want to be attracted to him, but I'm gonna be honest, the most attractive thing to me is when a guy is totally sold out to God. When I'm at a church service and I see a guy around all his other male friends and he raises his hands and could care less what they think, he automatically becomes 20x more handsome. Just saying. and know you all REALLY now What Liz Wants. ;)
