An Ideal Husband

It appears as though my parents have had a complete and total role reversal. My father wants me to get a boyfriend. He wants to marry me off and seems to be ready for grandkids. Well probably not that, (that's not going to happen for a LONG time) but every time we talk he always asks if I'm going to be bring home a boyfriend for him to meet.

He doesn't seem to understand or accept that I am on sabbatical. I think that if arranged marriages were still socially acceptable, he would have me betrothed tomorrow.

Now, yes, I do think it would be nice to have a man in my life. However, I don't just want another boyfriend. I don't want to date for fun. I'm waiting for the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with. The man that I am going to stand up with in church in front of God and everyone we know and vow to love, honor, and cherish until the day I die, and actually live it out. I'm waiting for the man who loves God more than he loves me. I'm waiting for the man who love me, all of me, my little (and big) quirks. I'm waiting for the man who is everything on that list I made a few posts back. I'm waiting for the man that I have been praying for every day for the last few years.

I am not dating right now because God has not brought that man into my life yet, or he has, but has not opened my eyes to see it yet.

I know my dad means well, and that he just wants me to be happy. I am happy. Maybe a little frustrated from time to time, but for the most part, I am happy. And I will wait as long as I have to, because I know that God has a plan, and His ways are so much better than our ways.
