I knew you were the one...
Yes....that was beautiful.....I want that one day. Its just gets so discouraging out here....but I have not been looking at things the right way. I am going to wait on God. I do want more....when I really admit it to myself. All of this momentary stuff falls away and leave one unfullfilled. Right now....I think I am gonna let God be my MAN for now. Yes....I choose to let God have a gender for now...lol!
Hey beautiful, I'm going to respond to both of your comments here. I could not agree more that 1) letting God lead you to the man He has chosen for you is the best bet as well as not rushing into a relationship just to fill the empty space in your life and 2) letting God be your "husband" of sorts, for now. Very wise. When that happens, He grows you into the woman that you need to be, that He wants you to be. When He brings a new partner into your life, you are so ready to be with him. Wise decisions.
Your marriage like mine and so many others, was based on flawed or limited information and requirements. We fell in love with a person who filled a few of our needs and believed that it would all work itself out in the wash, not to mention, (at least for me) I was not whole and healthy when I came into my marriage and that was a major contributor to the decisions I made and many of the mistakes as well, but like you said, you knew deep down that it wouldn't work out and I can say the same.
I can never look at my daughter and say that my marriage was a mistake. She was the best thing that resulted from it. However as I look back, I can appreciate all the lessons I learned from my marriage, how I grew as a person in it and what I achieved as a whole. I know one thing for sure, I have become a Proverbs 31 woman, wife and mother. I know that if God ever grants me another chance and brings to me the man He has chosen for me, I will be ready, whole and healthy, able to love completely and confidently.
Through this incredibly rough ride, God polished me. I am a woman of distinction, substance and integrity. That's what the trial by fire does, it purifies and burns away what pollutes us and what comes out at the end is pure gold.
Thanks for adding your thoughts MD. You always blow me away with your insight. Smooch.

For me, it was her flow.. her chick swagga..the alpha in her omega..she spoke my language understood my dialect...that first kiss..slow and deliberate..it was the way she would lay on my chest listening to the rhymatic beat of my heart until her heartbeat matched mine and she would fall asleep..in oneness...
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Habakkuk 2:2 Write the vision, and make it plain upon table.
I have done just that and I firmly believe that God has chosen the “one" for me and will bring us together when my life is ready to receive him. The man I have waiting for me is…
….a mighty man of God who seeks God’s heart and is renewed and growing in God’s word
daily. He speaks and walks in his authority, but is never an authoritarian. He is dominant, but not domineering. He is alpha male. He is strong enough to submit to.
He knows who and who’s he is and stands securely in the man that God made him to be.
He is loving, patient, faithful, secure, kind, intelligent, and has self control.
He pursues his dreams and uses his God given anointing to better the lives of those around him.
As much as he loves me, he will not let me control him or our relationship. He keeps me and all my alpha chick swagga (I just love that Donnie) in check. As much as I hate that.... I love that. He calls me on my sh*t and knows how to bring me back to center. Without a doubt, he will not let me be the “star" in our relationship and yet he exalts me at every turn and loves me unquestionably.
It’s the first embrace…pulled in, strong and secure, surrounded by him. It’s the first kiss…his hands on my face, warm and deep, lingering on his bottom lip. It’s the first dance…knowing that it's no use fighting.....whenever, wherever, whatever...
An added note* Even as a man of God, he will protect me. God help the man who ever tries to hurt, offend or in anyway behave inappropriately towards me. He will be the strange smell that’s coming from under the porch!!

Glamazon, let the Church say AMEN!!!!! There's an old blind petite woman that comes to our church, Sister Harris, and when our preacher makes a point, she shouts out "SSOOOOO TRUE"!! Well I'm that sister today, girl. What you and donnie wrote was, "SSOOOOOO TRUE"!!! Have a great W/E.

For me, it wasn't so much love at first sight, it was lust at first sight. When you fall in love for the first time, I believe that you have a "type". Especially when the first time you fall you get your heart broken. My wife strongly resembled someone I knew in high school, but as we got to know each other things changed. She was the first person I was ever with that didn't what anything from me. She wasn't trying to use me for status, money, or anything superficial. In fact, she didn't really need me at all. She was just so enjoyable to be with, someone who was and is fiercely independant.
We met while I was in the Navy and I knew she was the one when I returned to her country after a devastating volcano eruption and I was working with my crew as a relief worker. When I went to the hotel I always stayed in and saw her there, I knew that I would never let anything keep us apart again. We've been married for 18 years now.
