Best For Last

Here's my take on one of my favorite love songs. I'm a big supporter of purity and waiting for that special someone, but how do you keep a healthy balance during those years before you meet the one? It's obviously not a good idea to become a hermit and avoid talking to other people, but it's also not a good idea to flamboyantly give your heart to any random stranger who may take notice. I recall several months ago telling my youth pastor's wife that "There's no good guys out there! And why would anyone want me?" She lovingly assured me that they'd soon be dropping like flies; I didn't quite understand what she meant, nor did I believe her. Only recently have I begun to understand. The first guy that comes along may be the one, yet he also may not. 

First thing I'm learning is to guard my heart. It is so hard to do! Especially when your emotions want something other than what you know is truth. Then one day God showed me something--I was in a room full of my peers, and there were a few guys there, and each of them had a passion for God. I could pick qualities from every one of them and say, "Yep, he's a good guy." Here comes my new saying when girls say how cute a guy is: "There's a million out there as cute as him." Yes, there are unique attributes in each person out there, yet not every guy is the one. It gives me peace, cause I know that when he comes along, it'll be God orchestrating it, not me. 

When I try to make something happen, it's definitely not glorifying to Him. But what happens when the door seems to be opening? I'm learning that He does send little red flags, and if I pay attention to them (no matter how much I don't want to), I'm saving myself from a heartache. It doesn't matter how good the guy is, if God has not meant for the two to be together, it's not going to be a great experience.

 

One thing a friend mentioned to me how good it is to have "brothers in Christ", to know other guys as believers. There are no ties, and you see what qualities you want and don't want. Also what I do, not exactly like clock-work frequency, but I write to my future husband. It especially helps when I am struggling to keep my heart pure, it keeps me in-check--to patiently wait. What do you write, you may wonder. Honestly, I write whatever is on my mind. If I miss him, I say that. I tell him what God is doing in my life, or how my day went whether it was bad or good. I also encourage him and pray for him in the letter. 

Now about the song, Save The Last Dance For Me sung by Michael Buble.

I love the lyrics in this song. It reminds me to save the best for the one.  

"Oh I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine, go and have your fun, laugh and sing.

But while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone.

Don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms your gonna be, so darling, save the last dance 
for me."  

Maybe it's my corny self, but I love this song! Another good one is Haven't Met You Yet Just as awesome, if not better. Have a fantastic night people.
