Mr. Not-So-Right

Girls have always been taught to look for Mr. Right either by our parents or Disney movies we saw when we were little ones. As girls get older they still seem to have that whole scene in their head when Prince Charming and Cinderella get married and the whole town is celebrating. As a christian girl, we are even more drilled with all the qualities and requirements a man should posses before we even consider him. Our "callings" have to be compatible. His ministry should compliment mine. Prayer warrior. etc.

And thats on top of the whole blue eyes, brown hair thing we search after.

The more.."alone" I find myself the more I find myself cutting down my list of requirements. Not because I want to settle for just anything, but because I realize that there is only one thing that matters: at the end of the day we are in Gods perfect will, and we are two instruments he put together to glorify him in anything we do.

Im looking for Mr. Not-So-Right. I don't want a human Ken doll, I want someone who is as real as it gets. He's going to have to be brave because I refuse to kill any insects in our home. He's going to have to be tall because I'm only 5 ft tall, who else is going to reach things for me? He's going to have to be a prayer warrior, because I guarantee that there are going to be days he wishes he could escape from me, hahaha. He's going to have to be strong for when we have wrestling matches. He's going to have to have alot of energy because... we will be staying up till the crack of dawn sometimes. :). He has to have a sense of humor because I am the biggest dork and my dancing and singing around the house wont be too amazing.  He's going to have love God because that will be the glue in our marriage.

I don't want someone who checks off all the requirements on my list. I want someone who simply gets me. Who loves the things I love because he loves me, not because we are doing the same thing. Perfect men don't exist, but real men do. I am nowhere near perfect and thats how I want him to love me. Girls who expect perfect will waste years looking for it, because there is no such thing.

I'm waiting for my Mr. Not-So-Right :)
