[Faith-talk] Worries of the VI/Blind finding mates....

[Ldfelix2 at aol.com]

Beth,
 
Thank you, thank you, for responding! 
 
I was told that, too, and have!  I have made my list of qualities  in what I 
think would be the best type of man for me.  I've prayed and  prayed and am 
still praying for that special mate.  God has brought men  into my life since my 
divorce, and what I realized is that, what I want for me,  and what God wants 
for me, may not be the same thing.  I do have some  requirements, though.  
Any man that I would consider for a mate must be of  the same faith as me.  He 
must love God with all his heart, soul, mind and  strength.  He must be 
suitable to me and me to him, and also to my children  as a father figure, and my 
children must be comfortable with him.  He must  be able to contribute to the 
finances, if not provide completely, as I have so  much on my hands with my 
children and need to be at home to care for their  needs.  I have some other 
requirements that I will refrain from putting on  this list.  As far as disability, 
physical appearance, and other  things, they are all negotiable.  Why would I 
give up the chance as a  sighted woman to be with someone who meets my 
requirements just because he is  blind.  Or, because he isn't the "most gorgeous guy 
around", or   because he isn't slim, but rather heavy, or because he is way 
too skinny, or  whatever the case may be.  All that is simply not a priority.  I 
mean,  everyone dreams of the most gorgeous man or woman by their side, but 
in reality,  it really doesn't matter.  Beauty is found in the heart of a 
person.
 
Beth, keep praying.  But please don't miss God's blessing because you  don't 
bend on negotiable things.  Make your list again and put a star by  the things 
you must absolutely have in a mate.  Everything else then will  be icing on 
the cake.  Keep in mind, when you really love someone, he will  be luminous to 
you.
 
Beth, do you mind me asking if you are blind or sighted?
