SELF WORTH - For Ladies

"What kind of man are you looking for?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes"

....

As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you 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 a position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?'

Clearly the man thought that she was referring to money.

I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life.

The man asked for an explanation.

She said, 

'I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. 

I need someone who is striving for excellence spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for a disaster.

I need a man who is striving for excellence financially because I don't need a financial burden. 

I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. 

I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies and game-playing are not my idea of a strong man. 

I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, priest and provider to the lives entrusted to him by God. 

I need someone whom 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.

And by the way, I am not looking for him... He will find me. He will recognize himself in me. He may not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be drawn to me. God made woman to be a help-mate for a man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself. 

The man said with a puzzled look on his face, 'You are asking a lot.'

She replied, "I am worth a lot."
