Verses on Love

Verses about Humility

Proverbs 10:8
The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
Proverbs 28:25-26
A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
Mark 9:35
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

The Look

I like to say that I'm an equal opportunity dater
but there are some individuals who get my attention in a room faster than others--TDH

Superficially I notice:
If he is 5'11+
Smooth chocolate skin
pearly teeth
dressed to impress
not afraid to dance
can sing a tune

Qualities I notice:
he doesn't HAVE to be the center of attention it just may happen naturally
likes children
doesn't act older than he needs to but has a get things done attitude
love for God
supports his family
has a hobby
Likes to talk about different issues
Someone not afraid to love


Things I need him to understand about me:
I'm flaky sometimes
I like texts and calls
I get anxious about big decisions
I am very passionate and sensitive about race and color issues plaguing the US and world
My family may get on my nerves about certain things but at the end of the day what they say means the world to me.
You will meet my mom but she's cool so who wouldn't want to?

To do, to live in order to be

Upon moving to Denver, I realized I was starting to tread in unmarked territory. I could check off a huge life goal and challenge that goes along with coming of age. Living on my own and being self sufficient. I've accomplished the basics. Own apartment, paying for car, handling insurance and working two jobs. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to do all of those things especially in the midst of a recession. I've got a few other goals and desires to fulfill. The cliche things to do before I die list. Why not? My ideas of a well lived life are just a great way to measure what the hell I've been doing while alive! I should make a list of things I've done---well for now my resume and Facebook pictures will do.
