So where were we? Oh, yes...
The other day, I was having dinner with a dear friend. She told me about a conversation she had many years ago with a group of single girls: each of them chose a word that described the kind of partner they would want. One said "a clown," another wanted more of "a coworker," and my friend was hoping for "a constant companion." I thought about it for just a moment and knew what I would ask for: "a teammate." I am crazy active and I love to play, plus my love language is primarily quality time, so I want someone I can do lots of cool stuff with. Basically, I want a best friend. Of course, most importantly I want our relationship to glorify God, but I think that will happen when we are who God made us to be, individually and as a couple. So I expect that we'll have many things in common, from our backgrounds, to our personalities, to the activities we enjoy, to our passions, to our hopes and dreams for the future...
Details will follow.
About Me
- Jenn
- It's hard to summarize who I am in a few short words. My instinct is to tell you what I do, but I'm learning that that's not the same thing. Who am I? I'm a child of God, by his grace, thanks to the sacrifice of his son Jesus. I haven't earned his love and I don't deserve his grace, and yet I am his beloved. I too often get caught up in trying to do things for God and forget to just be his, but I'm working on that...
