I absolutely love fall. Maybe it's the colors or the decorations. Or it could be Halloween (I really like Halloween despite the creepy factor). But I actually think it's because fall is the season Wes and I met.
I love fall.
Then (almost four years ago)
Now (2 months ago)
I was misguidedly told in high school to make a "list" of the qualities I wanted in a husband. I can only be glad Wes was not told to make a similar list. Years later I have found these "lists" that appear to be more of a grocery list than a list of character traits I would want in someone I am to share my life with. I am too embarrassed to post these recent findings but it is amazing how it changes. I used to "update" my list every year around my birthday. I think somewhere, I have about 4 or 5 lists starting from the year 2001. I am sincerely thankful that I was not given what my list claimed I needed. I had no idea what I wanted or needed for that matter when I was 16. Ten years later I am finding God knew exactly what I needed and gave it to me before I could even think to ask about that "quality".
How many dreams do I think will be good for me/us? Then we find we're better off trusting God than creating our own ideals.
Throw out my list Jesus. Change my heart so I don't even make them to begin with.
