“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can.
He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break.
Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there.
Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” - Bob Marley

Waiting for Quinn to get home. He's off work now, but has to make a couple stops. I can't wait until he walks through our door and our Gavin says "Hi, Dad!" like he does every night and Quinn meets me with a kiss and a "hey girl!" like he does...every. single. time.

Reading in 1 Samuel today about Saul. Saul who was the best looking, tallest, most powerful in Israel, but Saul who said "I'm the lowest of low" when Samuel anointed him. Saul who was filled with the Spirit of God and prophesied, confirming in his own heart that what Samuel had said was true, but Saul who didn't even tell his own family the sacred secret that he had been endued with.
Saul who waited and waited and said nothing and did nothing until the time was right and the Spirit spoke to him telling him that it was time. Saul who rallied three hundred and thirty thousand men and who led them in spite of being of no noble birth and with no training into a great and complete victory. Saul who did not cut down those who questioned him, who did not ask God or Samuel to prove to the people that he had the right to lead, but simply gave God complete glory and gratitude for the victory that he gave, silencing those who doubted by his faith.
We all hate on Saul because in his old age he grew boastful and independent of God, but we forget the man he was when God chose him. He had every reason to be proud of his own self, but when God gave him everything he sent it right back towards heaven. It's a powerful reminder that we must become nothing so that God can use us to accomplish something perfect.
