This is in no way a check list of any kind, just a gathering of things that I have seen in the lives of the men I know. . . things that I admire, and would hope to find in my future husband.
so here is a peek inside my mind. . .
//
I want a man who is after my heart, not for what he can get.. but simply for loves sake. A man who sees me for who I am, and embraces every part of me, both the beautiful and the ugly. A man who has gone through the hard work of pursuing God's heart first; in search of mine. A man who understands partnership and has the guts to partner with me and lead from a place of strength, Purity, and faith. It is so important for me to have a husband who can, and will, challenge me spiritually. One whom I can grow with in my faith, and who is willing and able to be the spiritual leader in our home.
Broken; he understands how to really rely fully upon Jesus (Philippians 4:12-13)
Ministry minded; concerned about lost souls. (Matthew 28:19)

He must love God above all else! (Even me)
I'm not out to find a short-term relationship, where I can have the closeness of a man. I'm content with waiting for a leader, someone I can follow, someone that I can be a help meet too. I'm not looking for someone that will fill my emotional needs here and there, but someone who can be used in my life as a sanctification tool. Someone that I could walk alongside that would walk alongside me. I'm praying for a husband. I'm asking the Lord to send me someone who fears the Lord greatly. A man that has a vision, a mission. Not a man that is perfect. But a man who fears the Lord.
That that is what I'm looking for.
