Importance in Pursuing

So, it's been quite a while since my last post...as usual. And tonight I just felt led to write what's been on my heart...which is the desires of a godly woman and how those affect our daily lives and relationships.

As a 22 year old woman who has been in a couple previous relationships, I can say I have been blessed to know what it's like to be pursued and know what it's like to be respected. But I can also say that I know what it's like to feel like the complete opposite. In turn, the Lord has really showed me the importance of being pursued, just as He has pursued us.

A little about my growing up...

I've always been blessed to know what a godly, healthy relationship should look like. My father is the godliest man I've ever known and my heart desires to marry a man like my dad. Not in that creepy way of course, but a man that is a leader among men, a spiritual leader for his children and wife, compassionate toward others and puts himself last. This in turn, is what I look for in a husband someday. I've also been taught to date with intentions and let them be known. Not to date just to date. It's important who you give your heart to and I try my best to be careful with it...especially since I will not be MISS Bree forever. I try to think of my future husband, in hopes he thinks of me too. Meaning that, he is honoring me as well in his current relationships. Now, I cant say I've done the perfect job, but with Christ's help, I do my best.

As a woman, I can honestly say I HATE the whole dating scene. People are all like "It's so fun and exciting". But I beg to differ. There's so many games and I'm just over it, haha. I'm the kind of girl who if I like you and want to talk, I'll talk to you. I hate the whole guessing game and "I gotta wait til he calls in 2 days and then wait 30 minutes to reply to act like I have a life when I'm really just waiting for him to call because I have no life and am just sitting on my bed eating oreos while watching romantic comedies".... -_- I'm sure some girls and guys like that, but that's not how a godly relationship starts. I believe if a godly MAN is truly interested in you, he will court you, he will treat you with the utmost respect and not constantly let your mind wonder where he's at, but will rather take control and let you know what his intentions are. And let me clarify real quick: I'm saying this in regards to the men who know they are ready for a relationship and have taken the time to realize that. Its very important that when two people come together, that it's in the right timing and not out of loneliness. Just wanted to state that.

And to the men who HAVE realized that they aren't ready and have voiced that, props to you. We appreciate you and thank you for your honesty. We truly would rather you say that rather than give us false hope.

And to the men who are actively pursuing us with godly intentions, we also thank you :)

On THAT note, I'm out. adios amigos.
