Next Evolution

I tried to post this earlier but the server at my job crashed. I’m so glad I copied before I hit the publish button.

This weekend my mom and her fiance found a 5 bedroom house with a finished basement.

The basement has a large “living room”, the bedroom is huge with two walk-in closets and then there’s a full bathroom that’s actually bigger than the one in the house we’re in now. Oh, and it’s own seperate entrance. Basically a mini apartment. The only things I would need to buy to make it self sufficient is a mini fridge w/a freezer and a Microwave/Convection oven.

It’s a lease to purchase agreement. It’s enough room for all of us to live under the same roof and have our own space. We would rent out the house we’re in now.

Soooo, today at 6pm, my mom and her fiance are going to fill out an application and see if they qualify. My mom has really good credit and she told me she could qualify for 149,000 by herself…the selling price of this huge house is only 169,000. Her fiance’s credit…not so good (and not his fault since his daughter is sick)…but he has always paid rent on time wherever he has been…that’s gotta count for something. So hopefully with their forces combined, we can move into this house.

I pray His will be done. Whatever the outcome, we will be ok. It just would really be nice, ya know? *sigh* But His will be done. I anxiously await for 6pm. I’ll be back to let cyberspace know.

I was at the info desk with my cousin today and the convo went something like this.

Cousin: I actually like this dude who made dinner for me
Me: yep, and it’ll be just my luck that his cousin ugly!
My cuz friend: Why you don’t never hook me up with a cuz.
Cousin: Cause you a veteran in the game…we gotta get Serenity in the game!
MCF: So Serenity, what kind of dudes do you like?
Me: Da hell if I know!

*sigh* Sad. But today I’m here to try an articulate what it is that I want. My mom always told me to be specific when seekin the Lord in this area of my life. I aim to take her advice.

So what does Serenity want? That’s a hard question, of course I can come up with all the things I DON’T want,that’s easier, but I shall not be a punk. So I pose the question again “What does Serenity want?”

I was IMing a cousin of my mine *at work…u know da deal* and she was commenting about this weeks’ vibes were weird but in a good way. I then asked her to put in a request that “my husband to be revealed to me and that I meet him and that it’s the right time and that we both know what to do to make it last…just tryin to be specific with it!”

She sent me back a tweaked request:
that he is attractive to you in both mind and body and spirit, is God fearing, loving, affectionate but not smothering, adores you above all others (save God) and loves your family to death.

I agree with her whole heartedly. But aren’t I suppose to put some extra’s in there for good measure?

So, one mo’ ‘gain, What does Serenity want in her future husband?

Well *crickets*
Well *thinking: stop trying to make this all profound and whatnot*

I need a genuinely nice, caring, compassionate person.
I need a saved man, who has a deep and heartfelt relationship with God.
I need a strong man, who stands up for his convictions.
I need a gentle man, who knows the meaning of a gentle caress.
I need a man who has a sense of humor and nurtures his inner child.
I need a man who believes in family and community.
I need a man who believes in commitment and longevity.
I need a man who can connect with me in mind, body and spirit.
I need a man with aspirations and the drive to accomplish his goals.
I need a man who isn’t ashamed of vulnerability.
I need a man who is committed to self growth.

Well I can’t think of anymore with becoming redundant. I will add as I think of more.
