One of my really good female friends emailed this to me and I thought I would pass it on…it is a list of things that Christian Girls (dare I say Primos Girls) look for in a guy/leader/husband/etc…..

1. puts others needs ahead of his own
2. rejoices in his relationship with the Lord (dont have to ask if he is a christian)
3. maintains proper relationships – with friends and family
4. refuses to jump ahead of Gods timing
5. meets practical needs of others
6. stands for what is right
7. follows through on his God-given respnsibilities
8. understands the importance of feelings and emotions
9. flees temptations to compromise

What do you think guys? Bet we can do it!

p.s. thanks mecco! muah!

i know this is suppose to be a blog but my mail box is full and i am suffering from a dead cell phone battery…so email me if you need me …

This has been a bitter sweet thanksgiving for several reason but the biggest of which is the fact that this may very well be the only time that I get to be with my family during this holiday season. Now that may not seem like a big deal to some people & others might say, “With 8 people, is missing one really that big of a deal?” Well, I would like to think so! =) Actually it is a big deal for the very simple reason that over the last 24 years, there has never been a Fall/Winter holiday season where we haven’t all been together. There are certain traditions that just won’t be the same or won’t happen at all this year. Not to mention the fact that after 24 years, the holidays are my family.

So the whole writing everyday thing didn’t quite go for the full 30 days…(I was only short by about 27) so I am going to at least try to do better than I did last time. Let’s face it….It wouldn’t be hard. But the way I figure it I can trick myself into writing for 30 days straight if I do it progressively. Anyway, thanksgiving would make a good entry….

The funniest thing happened tonight…I was trying to teach my mom the shortcut for refreshing a web page (f5) and I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working for her…Then I realized that she was hitting the letter F and the number five together. I laughed my butt off…..

i am not daniel, i don’t know for sure what these dreams mean, i try to not assume anything in my feelings about these dreams.

since before i was 12 i have had a recurring dream about an angel. I might go a year or two between dreams and then they may come one night after another but the same figure is in them all. The most often dream(and first dream i can remember) is during a picnic of some sort…It reminds me of a church picnic with kids running around and people laughing. Then I see her. {These dreams are special to me and I don’t want to cheapen that by trying to describe her, even if I could, but it is always the same girl and I know her. Not that I have met her before, but I know her somehow…I can’t begin to describe my feelings for her. They are gut wrenchingly joyous when I am with her.} and i follow her across a small, lush green, field to a stream. She floats over it to the other side without even hesitating…But I can’t get to her. For some reason even when i try, I can’t cross the river because i wake up. Sometimes i wake up crying. These versions of the dreams came when I was smaller. In the last several years, the dreams have varied in two ways: either I am able to cross the river and spend time with her, or it is a completely different dream that she just shows up in… When this happens, I have this feeling of incredible familiarity and joy to see her. Some times there is physical contact; a hand on the shoulder or a hand squeeze. regardless of physical contact, there is always a comfort, a knowledge or understanding of unconditional love. Sometimes I still wake up crying…

that i wanted to say today but

Father, you reveled an incredible blessing this evening…I just ran into an old friend from wheaton @ the local starbucks(!), and come to find out, not only has she moved to dallas, but also several other film guys and they live lest than a MILE away in my same apartment complex! How incredible are you??!! Let me grow closer to you as a result of this blessing and let me be an encouragement to them. Thanks you father! May out friendship do something great for you!

So what we wanted to know was if the Christian Primos Girl existed…who is the christian primos girl? well, besides the unique style and personality (see first post) she knows how to appropriately walk the fashion line between modesty and sexy. (Hey! we’re guys and we are being honest) But here is the deal…the even more important part: She Must love God above all else. She must demand that of us. Everything else falls into place if He is number one in her life. All of us have made stupid decision at one point or another…but if we earnestly seek Christ, then through God’s grace, our past is our PAST and it is behind us; and now we try to follow hard after Him.
W/o sound prideful, we are good looking guys and if we wanted to be dating someone, we could…BUT we want Her. And we are willing to wait for her…does that mean that the next girl we date will be the one we marry…not necessarily but it does mean two very important things: she will have a strong possibility of being her; and we will treat the girl we are dating with the respect that our future wife would want, regardless of whether or not it is the girl we are dating. (Put another way, we will treat the girl we are dating as if our future wife were right by our side until we know who she is)And until God sees fit to give us that special lady that is ours to cherish, we want to honor him with our relationships both friend and romantic.

Father, I know this is basic, but I need help in keeping my life in dedication to you. I need guidance to make decision that reflect and bear fruit which honors you. Let me see the world with spiritual eyes. Not only in illuminating your word but more importantly, let me see your hand at work in the world around me; let me see the battles of evil around me for what they really are; let me be aware of when I am straying from you and have the strength to follow hard after you. Give me dedication and strength daily to pursue you as my only rock, my only foundation.

This is to you my love…crazy as it may sound, I can see you at times…not in detail of course, but I see you evident in my decisions; I see you as I study the word; I see you as He leads me down HIs path. Someday he will join our paths as far as the eye can see and I will be yours to cherish you and protect you; you will be mine to encourage and support. Our love, our fights, our future will all be watched by him as a parent watches two children…how is it possible to love you so much already?
