Still worthy of being PURSUED!

SHOW me you're interested! Lol.

If you remember THIS POST, you'll recall that I was asked to coordinate/decorate for a friend's wedding at which I did this past Saturday & everything turned out great. So, the Friday before the wedding as my mom, aunt, & I were decorating the reception hall, one of the workers there from the Mississippi Department of Corrections (an inmate working off his fine) approached me. Now I'm not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical of what he was going to say to me. I didn't know if he was going to be disrespectful or what, but because I try not to judge people based off of their outward appearance (keep in mind he had on his green & white striped uniform with CONVICT on the back, lol), I was open to hear what he had to say. So he asked me, "How long have you been decorating?"...and I replied with "Not very long". He then proceeded to ask me more questions & after a while, it got a bit personal. He then asked, "So when are YOU getting married?"...I replied with a smile as I continued working nervously, "Whenever the good Lord sends my husband my way. I'm open to whomever he sends, he just hasn't sent him yet." And his next response blew my mind, he said..."He probably has, you've just overlooked him!". In my mind I was like...WHAT THE HECK??? Lol! All I could tell him was, " You may be right!" (though in the back of my mind I was like, NO....because God will show me when its time). He also stated that he was SURPRISED (with a surprised look on his face) that no one had scooped me up just yet & asked me why! Lol! I told him that I can't get married without first dating & that I wasn't currently dating anyone. "Why?' he asked....I replied, "No one has asked me". At that point, I was interested in what he had to say. Soooo, long story short, he said..."Well, in the next 6 months I'll be through with my time & I'm going to find you & take you out on a date."...all I could do was laugh because he seemed so serious. I told him, "Ok, bet! That would be great". He asked me how many children I wanted, did I even want to be married, and he proceeded to tell me that after he finished his time he was going back to school to make something of himself & etc.

Now, thinking back on that situation makes me smile because you'll never know who God will send your way to re-assure you that he hasn't forgotten about you. Though I may never see that guy again, just within the short time I talked to him, I gained valuable insight and he reminded me that I WAS worth having. Because its been a long time since I've been in a totally committed relationship, I've almost forgotten how it feels to be pursued. It also taught me not to look at where a person has been or what they've done, but where they are striving to go. Sometimes I feel as if no one even wants to pursue me, lol, because I don't get pursued very often. But I know that I'm different and my situations/circumstances are different from the next. God reminded me that I'm not like everyone and because of that, things that happen to them won't happen to me the same exact way. So I prayerfully and patiently await my knight in shining armor to come and sweep me off my feet to my Happily Ever After, lol! I KNOW its coming, its just a matter of WHEN....and even with that, I'm quite alright with letting God work out all of the kinks. Single folks, we are STILL WORTHY OF BEING PURSUED! Just because he/she hasn't come yet, don't be discouraged. Its just that God is purposely taking his time to mold your husband/wife specifically for YOU! And that's A-OKAY with me!!!!  Lol!

P.S.- He was fairly nice looking, lol! Dark skinned & bald. Not typically my "type", but as a friend told me....ALL THAT DOESN'T EVEN REALLY MATTER ANYMORE, and she was right (though I would still like my boo to be decent looking, lol).


Thanks for reading :-)
