I'll never do THAT again

Life is teaching me to never undestimate God's ability for meeting our needs.  Even in relationships.  Even if you think you've done everything wrong and there is no hope.  Even if you think you're almost over the hill.  Now, I freely admit "relationship expert" is not my calling. Head of the broken hearts club of dunderwomen, could possibly work. So,at the start of this year after recovering from a bout of relationship discouragement from past and most unsuitable choices in men, I decided to revamp my values in that category.  It was time to never again settle for less than God's best.  Over a weekend of reexamination and journaling I raised the bar, wrote down exactly what I wanted should someone special come into my life,and wrote down what I wouldn't tolerate.  No more losers in my lane.  No more overlooking red flags and flat tires. Period.  Maintaining dignity and self-respect was worth whatever the cost and if I was to meet someone, he had to be of sterling character.  Gentle kindness, sensitivity, respectful to women, caring and communicative were also high on my list. It's funny how letting go of what we think we want leads to grace at work.  After vowing to never do that again, to never settle for less, God has indeed brought me the best in the form of a wonderful man named Harrison.  Hold onto your dreams, hold onto your standards, raise your own bar, open your eyes, and embrace each new day with gusto.  Your dream man may be closer than you think.

Until next time...Top Blonde Taking the Day!
