I AM WORTH A LOT

I AM WORTH A LOT
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question "What kind of man are you looking for?" She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?" Reluctantly, he said, "Yes." She began to expound... "As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money." I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life. "He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain. She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked..."believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster". I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for some one who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself. When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "You are asking a lot." She replied, "I'm worth a lot."
Send this to every woman who's worth a lot....and every man who has the brains to understand.

Whoa.... my mindset must be evolving or something because I'm kinda like behind that whole roster of "what I need" and ....

Am I (supposed to be) looking or (allowing the Lord to) positioning myself to be found?

Plus I don't like it when people are evasive.

ETA: for good measure, I should add that I concur with her destination: "I am worth a lot" but not her direction: "...because I got this so I need this...."

This is exactly what I think of myself. I wouldnt tell this to every man. Most aren't even worth explaining it to even if they ask. Men hate too...

My friend sent me that a while ago. Here is another one that makes you think.

Playmate VS Soulmate

In our quest for happiness we must be sure that we don't settle for a
Playmate when God has a Soul mate waiting for us. Sometimes this is a
hard distinction to make. Playmates are tricky. They are so much fun to
be with that even the smartest of us will be fooled into thinking this
has to be our Soul mate.

Too many of us attempt to make a Soulmate out of a Playmate. The danger of this is that later, after years of playing we will meet our Soul mate, but it may be too late then. We may have already made a Life mate of our Playmate and created life-long bonds (emotional, children, etc.) Or we may have been hurt from playing so hard that we are in no shape ourselves to be anyone's anything.

How can we distinguish between the One, and just another one? First, we must be open with ourselves about who we really are and what our soul yearns for. Only you and God know what is truly in your heart and mind. Only you know what will make you truly happy and whole. In order to find your Soul mate you have to know you, first. You must be willing to listen to that inner voice. And is that voice telling you that the nerdy person you enjoy talking and sharing your thoughts with, could be he? What about that friend who is always willing to go the extra mile for you when no one else will. Oh no! He's too short or too tall, balding or too hairy, and on and on? Just too ordinary looking for me! Then there's that girl who makes you feel so special when you 're around her, but she doesn't match that ideal you have conjured in your head. She's too tall, not slender enough, not light or dark enough, not shapely enough, not attractive enough, and on and on. She just couldn't be for me!

So what if he or she doesn't look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie! He or she is going to treat you like the jewel that you are. Not only that, his or her soul and yours will commune in ways you never imagined possible! In order to heed that voice, we have to put on the back burner our own superficial thinking. Could it be that your inner desire is for a truly genuine person with a good heart?

If you enjoy playing, stay on the playground. There are plenty of Playmates out there to occupy your time. But don't spend too much time playing or you may play your life away. Eventually the playing loses it appeal and your
soul begins to crave a deeper, more meaningful connection. Your soul
begins to crave your Soul mate.

I totally agree. I wish that many more women felt the same way about themselves.

What I could respect about this woman is that she's asking for a man that possesses all of these good qualities, and who wants to attain more. I like that she's saying that she has it together, and wants a man that has/wants the same. She is not some worthless chick, asking for someone who has succeeded.

I believe that when you ask for something, you should yourself have those qualities as well. And why would she settle for less? If she worked hard to get to where she is, then she has a right to ask for a man that has worked hard as well. Cause if you bring a man with no job into the mix, he's only going to bring you down with his jealousy and insecurities. And that is not what a woman needs...and certainly not a woman of God.

I wanted the same when I was looking for a mate. And he didn't want anyone who wasn't doing anything with their lives either. My husband and I compliment each other. We've both worked very hard to get to where we are!

Bumping..... I like both of the passages.

I love it!!!! The only thing I would add is "that I would not expect him to have or be everything over night that we both must be prayerful if it is God's will for us to be together to move in the right direction." I think this is important to men because some people do not realized they are human too. Growing together in a healthy godly relationship with Prayer as priortiy will alway prosper. The key is doing the praying in the beginning to get direction from God before hand.
