A BEAUTIFUL COMADRE SHARED THIS WITH ME AND I HAD TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL! THIS IS A POWERFUL STORY…..

 

In conversation one day I made this comment to a male associate of mine.  “As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can’t do for myself.”

 

Clearly he thought that I was referring to money.
 
I quickly corrected his thought and stated,
 
“I am not referring to money.  I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life.”
 
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked me to explain.
 
I said:
“I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don’t need a simple minded man.
 
I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don’t need someone unequally yoked….believers mixed with non-believers is a recipe for disaster. And even if he is a believer, he needs to believe as I do.
 
I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don’t need a financial burden.
 
I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, and strong enough to keep me grounded when I do go through changes. I don’t need a man who is going to purposely bring me grief.
 
I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him and he must respect me.
 
I cannot be submissive to a man who isn’t taking care of his business or who is “messy” in his personal affairs. I have no problem being submissive..but he has to be worthy.
 
God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can’t help a man if he can’t help himself.
If he can’t help himself then he definitely can’t help me.”
 
When I finished my spiel, I looked at him.
 
He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.
 
He said, “You are asking for a lot”.
 
I replied, “I’M WORTH  A LOT.”
