Vegetable Soup: Saturday Love Lounge

Love Lounge: What do you want it comes to Relationship? By Melissa Blake

The link got my attention while I'm browsing my dashboard for something to read, Melissa Blake share her thoughts about what kind of relationship she wants and a partner to be with. When she was young she made a list of the man she wants to be with; traits of her future boyfriends must possess and come to think of it when I was young I used to have those as well, like I have my list. I attended TLW seminars and been there 3 times way back my highschool days. It seems fun and you can't miss things out about your future love life. There's a part there that you must write down the must-have and should-have of your future partner, you'll write a letter for him entitled: To My Future Husband and pray to God every single bit of that person (You don't know who...) that comes to your mind. I guess it's not a bad thing at least your setting your standard and be prepared when you actually meet one. It is not exactly you follow that list 'cos we don't want to be disappointed, I don't want to be disappointed. But God knows who will be the best partner for you or for me, I just have to wait patiently. 

Moving on, I was thinking about my previous relationship and it all went down to the drain, because it is not what God wants for me. I'm just being stubborn and He let me experience that so I will learn from it. I have my fantasies, but I need to woke up and see the larger picture of reality. I was young I never know what I want yet I want to have a secure future, a happy love-life, someone who is caring and can make me laugh. To grow and become a better person. Those traits I want, well some of it are important and some are not. So, How can I know that this person is the one for me? Then one of my church friend shared this (She and her partner is an example of TLW relationship. Both attended a different seminar and manage to give their letters during their honeymoon.) a partner should-have and really-must-have these 3 things: He must be a Lover, Leader & Provider. The summary of what I want to love and be with in the future. I stick to that context and prayed for it ever since.

and Melissa Blake said:

I may not know all that much about love yet, but I do know three things:

*I know the fantasy is never going to live up to reality. That's just life, plain and simple.
*I know that life and love don't come with scripts. Things don't always work out the way you had them planned in your head.
*I know that anyone who says that they've never created the perfect fantasy in their heads is lying.

She is right! I might have fantasies swirling in my head, but I know God is better maker and author of romantic stories. I never lose hope of being with the person I want to travel on life's journey with - white horse or no white horse. That's why I was so glad when I met Carlo. He is a great blessing that I'm always swift off my feet to those simple things he do for me. I continually pray for this person who always makes me laugh, happy and feel loved. We both continue glorifying God for I met such a wonderful creature. I love him and since the moment I saw him I said I want to be with this person, Him to be my lover, leader and provider. It is the joy that my heart can't measure.

So, How bout you?
