Waiting for God's choice for you

Well sometime the truth hurts. I mean when you know something to be true but you brush it off like it’s nothing. Sometimes, it just takes the truth to get you back on track.

 My family has this cowboy that works cows with us whenever we need help. Well long story short, I have developed a slight crush on this Cowboy. Now he is 8 years older than me and even though my hair is only shoulder length, his is as long as mine. In the cow pens, this Cowboy seems just near perfect. He’s easy going, never gets upset about anything, works hard, gave me his seat, respectful and I’ve never heard him cuss. Who wouldn’t have a crush with those beautiful blue eyes?

Well, when my Dad found out he just shook his head and said he’s a good guy but not good for dating. My Grandpa on the other hand was on my side. I was all about life, love and the pursuit of a cowboy! My sister even said that since Grandpa cusses less than Dad, I should trust his opinion more.

Sunday, my cousin L and I got invited to go mudding with my “dream cowboy” and his partner, who L likes. Well, being 22 and still living at home, I double checked with my Dad about goin, who told me no… well at the time I was a little upset, ok really upset, to say the least but obeyed.

A few nights later my Dad told me exactly why the Cowboy shouldn’t be mine, he drank too much and cheated on his last girlfriend but most importantly he did not have a relationship with God.

The next day, my grandmother informed me again the importance of being equally yoked with the person you are in a relationship with.

So a word of advice:

1)      Though the truth hurts and you don’t always want to listen to your parents…they are looking out for your best interest.

2)      It is more important to find a man of God than a man you looks good in his wranglers.

3)      Waiting is hard, and sometimes it seems like there’s no one and I mean no one out there for you, but God has someone special for you and he is not some average Joe.
