I'm a woman of God. I'm a wife. I'm a daughter. I'm a sister. I'm a teacher. I'm living by God's grace to bring him glory, by him and through him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17

Substance over Suave
I found myself daydreaming about my husband today....there are so many things I just ADORE about him!
I shamefully admit that I find myself apologizing to others for his conservative and quiet personality. I hate when I do that! I know it's a result of me being more insecure than he is.....and I know it's me wanting everyone to be impressed with how he handles a crowd.
The truth is....John is not a crowd pleaser and he's not even close to being suave. He is quiet, he is conservative in conversation and he does save all of his personality and jokes for only those close to him (which is me and I love it).
I'm learning quickly to embrace ALL of him. Although I like to be crowd pleasing and suave with a crowd--he doesn't. When I compare the two of us....I wish I were more like him. He is always slow to speak-so when he does it is meaningful and has substance (I cant say the same for myself). He may not be suave but he is the most sincere person that only sees the good in people-more than anyone I've ever met (once again....me not so much).
Appreciating his personality that is so different from mine is sometimes easy for me to forget. But the moment I begin to excuse his because I consider mine more appealing-God convicts me instantly. His presence is captivating to me because he is such a Godly man.
That's hot---I dig his quiet self--and I love that all of his jokes at home are just for me :)
Substance over Suave-any day!
