To the Father of My Children (Someday)
by miss poppy
I don't know you. Until a short time ago, I didn't want to know you or have anything to do with you. I thought you would hurt me and use me up. But now I know that you are far more wonderful than anything I have ever imagined you could be.
I'm not like a lot of girls, I guess. I don't have very many expectations for you. You don't have to be rich or gorgeous. You don't have to be able to captivate a crowd with your wit or fix a car without help. You don't have to be important or famous. You just have to be you. And nowadays, I'm beginning to think I'll know when I find you.
I already know you will love God, and the first thing I'll see is Him. I already know you'll be gentle and kind and polite, just like my daddy. I know you'll be witty in that understated way, because that's what makes me feel all fluttery. I know you'll be protective and that when I'm with you I'll feel safe from the world. And I know you'll be individual, because what I love most in a man is the confidence to be himself, regardless of what everyone else wants.
And I know you'll be a good father to our children. You won't be perfect, and I don't expect that. But you'll be perfect for me and a gift to our kids.
It's hard to imagine sharing my life with another person or being entrusted with new lives, but I know I won't be confronting those challenges alone. Let's just be. And let's have fun. I love you.

- About Me: I am a senior in college. I love to knit, watch K-dramas, and bake. The point of my life is to love God, and I write about the ups and downs of that journey. Philippians 3:8-11: 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

I know exactly how you feel. Way to put it into words. Awesome post! God bless! =D
That's sweet :) I write letters to my future husband too, but I'm not brave enough to post them online.
Well, I got thrown into county lock up one time. I did my time and got released at midnight. And I had no idea how I was going to get back to my place. But an intrepid cabby scrounging for a buck was there waiting at the curb.
I got in and immediately knew that he was used to dealing with jail bird rif-raf. But on the way I got him talking about his family. He thought it was tragic that I lived alone. He said that his wife and children meant everything in the world to him and that he couldn't imagine being alone. He said that after his shift he just couldn't wait to get home to his wife and kids.
They were his pride and joy in this hard, cruel world.
I want to find a husband that I can serve that loves God more than he will love me...
Great post. :)
THIS is basically how I feel about my future wife. I wrote her a letter, too, about all the things I dream her to be and it doubled as a prayer request to God, that He might give me the woman I dream about. And then, one day, I met a lady who has come to be virtually everything I asked God for. Only BETTER! When God answers our prayers, He always gives the BEST.
While the lady I have met isn't 100% what I asked for, she IS everything I WANT. (I know that almost sounds contradictory, but somehow, it makes perfect sense.) I love her with that basic adoration and acceptance...I am in awe of who she is. I just love her!
@LoBornlite@xanga - I'm glad to hear how you were so open to notice that. :) If you don't now have such a loving relationship, I pray you will soon enough. :)
@Lynnjynh9315@xanga - You should post it. :)
this is amazing. this is exactly how ive been feeling for the past 2 hours, restless and lying awake in bed. I just can't seem to put the thought to rest - so kudos.
Awesome post!
Great post! I was inspired...Blessings in your waiting.
The concept two people who mutually serve each other is an astoundingly beautiful thing.
My beloved is mine, and I am his...
Song of Solomon 2:16.
I love this.
It's possible to find a guy like that. I did. Or, rather, he found me when I wasn't looking. :)
@mikenpeg@xanga - LOL That's rather how I found "my" lady, too. I finally gave up my own search. Next thing I know, there she is, emerging from "the shadows" and confesses that she's had a crush on me for some time. I was oblivious before then. God ALSO has a romantic-comedy sort of humor, too. hee hee
@NaitoOfNarnia@xanga - I advised you to do that, if I recall correctly. :) And, congrats.
@mikenpeg@xanga - @NaitoOfNarnia@xanga - God is the master of romantic comedies. Hollywood should consult Him.
Beautiful!!!
@mikenpeg@xanga - You advised me to do what? When? LOL And thank you.
I totally agree...Hollywood SHOULD consult God. Heck, the book of Ruth has PLENTY of potential romantic comedy posibilities. (I just can't think of them...I'm not that good at writing humorous scripts.)
@NaitoOfNarnia@xanga - I actually did post it: Here.
Great post! Its nice that you have a clear view of what you want. You will definitely find this man.
