Okay girls, I'm talking to you. Raise your hand if you want to fall in love with a guy that is madly inlove with Jesus and you. Yeah girl, me too. I just watched two wedding videos and they both made me cry, because I desire that so much. I want that real, true, and intimate love that you don't always see anymore. That love that only exists when Jesus is at the center of it all. It isn't far fetched to say that the average girl doesn't want this perfect guy to sweep her off her feet. They (we) want a guy who is far beyond what we could dream up in our minds. But for us to realize what a guy like that is, we would have to have standards. We don't want a cheater, a lier, or a bum. But why does society say that having standards is bad? That we should take what we can get? That it is objectifying to compare a real guy to one you know you deserve? But standards doesn't mean that you'll find Mr. Perfect right away. In fact, I know personally, it feels like he doesn't even exist, sometimes. We know what we deserve, so why do we settle? Well, because even though we want a guy who fits our description, we also don't want to end up alone. You hear adults say, "better no one than the wrong one," and it isn't that we don't believe that, it's that it just really sucks to feel alone. I get it. It seems like all the girls are getting asked to Prom, everyone is in a successful relationship, and you're the only one who is watching wedding videos by yourself in the dark and crying. (oh wait, is that just me?) Look girls, you were made in God's image. He perfectly crafted you in a unique way for a man and he specifically crafted that man for you. He isn't going to be perfect. However, he will be perfect for you. I don't know where he is (believe me I wish I did) but one day, in God's timing (I know the dreaded words) you two will meet and the rest will be history. Don't settle for a guy in the here and now because you are lonely. It won't be worth it in the long run. It is good to have standards. It is good to have boundaries. It is good to guard your heart. God is good and He has someone good for you. here's a wedding video that I love:)
