Soooooo last weekend I had the opportunity to hear elder Sis. Alvear, missionaries wife to Brazil, speak at the ladies seminar at Bro. Brown's church. It was ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!!! I was so impacted by what she spoke on. It really stirred me...buuuuuut... that's not what I'm going to talk about today, perhaps in another post, altho I don't if I could fully explain it to you the way it spoke to me...ANYWAYZ, that's NOT what i'm going to talk about today!!!
Soooooooo while she was speaking I decided that it was confirmed to me indeed WHAT KIND OF MAN I want to marry!

She was telling this story, she said in Brazil they don't have African Americans, they have African Brazillians, well she said that one day she got a phone call from someone in her church saying that there were two newborn black babies that had just been born in the hospital and the mom was abandoning them and they had now where to go. So she decided that she would go see what she could do.
.
When she got to the hospital, the nurse just told her take them, they had NO HOME, NO WHERE TO GO, and NO ONE THAT WANTED THEM!!! So she said she had nothing else to do buuuuut to take them home!!! Her husband was out of the country and in Chili at the time and she had NO IDEA what he was going to think about these two new additions to their family and decided to just wait till he got home to tell him.
.
She said at one point he called and asked her how the church was doing and she was just like, OH the church is going good, two new souls have just been added and they are GROWING DAILY!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! (I'm like OMW this is soooooooo something I would be doing...My husband would never leave town cuz he won't know how many more kids their will be when he gets back...BAHAHAHA!!!)
.
She said finally he got back from the trip and he walked in to the house and he saw the first lil baby in one of the beds she had made up and he said, Oh I see we have a little visitor with us! And she said, Weeeeeellll...ACTUALLY there are TWO OF THEM annnnnnnd they are NOT VISITING!!!
.
She said he was just looking at the two babies, (LIL CHOCOLATE BABIES! I'm soooo feelin it AWWW) She said after looking at them he just says, WELL, lets just keep them!!! When I heard that I was like, I soooooooooooooooooooo WANT TO MARRY A MAN LIKE THAT!!!
.
Aside from them devoting their lives to soul after soul after soul, reaching the unreachable, touching the untouchable, and loving the unlovable, they took in many people and adopted so many children aside from their own biological children and when she talked about that I was just like, MAN that's how I want to be when I get married... being willing within God's will, to take in children of every color and ethnicity, reaching the lost annnnnnnnd Just spending our lives together loving souls!!!
.
Often times, when I tell people things that I want to do or things that I want like opening my home to or this or that, they tell me that it really narrows out a lot of potentials for marriage and I'm like, yeah, I get what your saying, buuuuuuuuut at the same time, hear me out, I don't NEED A LOT of potentials!!!
.
The truth is that I'm ONLY marrying ONE MAN!!! God made me special...he designed me and the passions and burdens that I have are FROM HIM!!! Therefore, I can trust him to know that I don't need A LOT of potentials, because GOD has THE ONE!!!
He has...
A MAN LIKE THAT!!!
