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.
