Yogi was so cute and he had
his buddy “Boo-Boo.”

a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” Proverbs 23:7
I started to get the hang of the online dating sites as far as how they match you and then you choose if you want to meet a person or not…you can accept them ...yes or no. I had met my husband through a single's printed ad so it is different than online dating. I was reading this one guy’s main "catch" phrase on PlentyofFish and he said, “I’m an Average Guy.” It inspired me to write the phrase, "Excellent woman." Who wants average? I like the cartoon Yogi Bear, of Jellystone Park, who was smarter than the average bear. When we are looking for someone special in life do we want an average man or woman? I want a special man. I had an above-average intelligent man.
Once in a while I hear a Christian man put himself down about not being intelligent and I can’t help but think of that scripture, “we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Cor. 2:16 & Philip 2:5. I was watching the history channel about the scientist who was responsible for the atom bomb. They were talking about how scientists have a certain arrogance about them, because they know they are intelligent. My husband was like that too. He was very arrogant about his intelligence. I had to pray about this flaw in his life.
I’ve been a person who does not have a high IQ so I’ve had to work at my grades, since they did not come “naturally.” My spouse was good at remembering facts and figures and my mother was the same way. The type of person that you want on your Jeopardy team or Trivial Pursuit team, but when it all comes down to our “gifts” from God, even intelligence is a gift.
For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? 1 Cor. 4:7
Some people are gifted with their hands and other people are gifted with their minds. Some people use their spiritual talents fulltime. Paul chose to make tents along with preaching the gospel. Paul talked about the “gifting” by the Holy Spirit to the Body of Christ.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 1 Thess 4:11
If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 1 Cor. 9:11
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Ephesians 4:11
Some people work/develop their natural abilities in professional sports or through competitive matches and my husband developed his gift through chess club and Math competitions with his friends. I remember every Math test I ever took in school, I was the last person to turn the test in. But when it came to creative writing or journalism, I was tops in college. I also developed the ability with computers through the years in using different software packages. I enjoyed using the software more than the underlying computer coding, but I find understanding the coding (javascript) helps me in understanding web sites. I am looking forward to better using those talents in the future full time.
I know some men that are looking for a woman with a certain hair color, a certain height and within a certain age. If you find one spiritual that will love you than good luck in getting your dream wonder woman.
Settling down with someone is not necessarily settling for someone, but it’s realizing that we give God the list of what we want and then God knows what we need better than having everything we want. I put my order (list) into God and if the waiter (the Holy Spirit) needs to revise the list according to what is available in the kitchen than I go with what God provides for me. I've had a few opportunities already, but not the connection yet that God wanted me to have. I've prayed and asked the Lord for confirmations on certain men and He confirmed "No." My heavenly Father is really good about informing me on matters of the heart.
What I determined is that I would build my husband’s ego the best I could every day and send him into the world that he was the greatest man to me. I’ve heard the saying, “if you don’t stroke your husband’s ego someone else will.”
A wise woman builds her house. She builds it with her words. I hear a lot of Christian woman talk about wanting to be a friend to a man first. Norman Vincent Peale states in his book on Positive Thinking that if you build a person’s ego, you have made a friend for a life time.
My husband was my friend for my life time, because I built his ego. It’s the same way with my friends. God has called me to encourage my friends and build their ego. My husband’s ego was pretty low (deflated) when I met him with rejection from his former wife as far as a relationship goes. The Bible says a woman "must" respect her husband.
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:33
