Hopes&Prayers

Howdy! 

(they say that as a greeting here in Aggieland- 

I hope you already know that...)

I am very impatient but I have so much to offer, you'll see.

There are so many days I am tired of waiting for you but I still do because I don't believe in settling.

I don't want just anyone.

I want you.
I hope you'll never try to be someone you aren't.

I hope that you are enjoying life in a way that has absolutely nothing to do with alcohol in college 

right now.

I hope you aren't the center of attention.

I hope you like the outdoors.

I hope you want to travel.

I hope you have a heart for serving others.

I hope you're creative.

I hope you don't take yourself too seriously but that you can be mature when it's necessary.

I hope you'll be completely honest about how you feel about me from the get-go. 

I hope you'll give me quality time.

I hope we will encourage and support each other.

I hope you'll take me home to meet your family

& I'll do the same.

I hope you're the perfect median of gentleness and manliness. 

I hope you hold me like I'm fragile 

& that I'll feel small in your arms.

I hope you know what it feels like to get your hands dirty, 

to earn what you want in life.

I hope girls don't hang all over you with false hopes of being with you.

I hope you have more guy friends than girls.

I pray that you have people to hold you accountable,

or ask you the hard questions.

I pray you stand firm in what you believe in.

I pray you are following the Lord in a really bold obvious way. 

I pray I can tell you're a good guy by the way you pursue me.

I pray you'll pursue me & I won't be afraid of it.

I pray you'll let your guard down & accept me as I do the same.

I pray that it will work out in timing much better than mine.

I pray that when we meet, we will just know it's right.

I pray you'll never give me a reason to doubt you.

I pray you'll talk things out with me when things get hard.

& mostly, I pray that you'll always love the Lord more than you love me.
