Last week I overheard someone say, “I didn’t mean for it to happen…” I could guess and fill in the rest of the details. Some guy was probably charmed by her though she had only meant to be friendly/friends. He probably confessed his feelings or asked her out or something. Poor guy.
I thought to myself: dang, how come stuff like that never happens to me? Everything for me is slow-going and utlimately nonconsequential and unproductive (well, so far). But then I stopped myself. What am I talking about? I don’t need to have a dozen super-WRONG guys banging on my door – why would I want that? I just need that one right one. May God lead only “him” to pursue me.
(Sidethought: I hate sharing these kinds of things on my xanga, it makes me feel so vulnerable!! Funny, even so, I do it anyway. I guess I feel obligated to be honest with you all!)

I love your vulnerability. It makes for good writing and real faith.
ha ha mary ann.. how very very “little women”-esque.. “you don’t need a score of suitors. just one- if he’s the right one!” still learning the same lessons over, huh? that’s how it goes.
Hrm… I know what it feels like to be on the other side of this equation. It’s not really more pleasant than this side either. Unfortunately, on the other side of the fence is added the burden of knowing that you’re making that person feel terrible too–which itself is terrible if you really care about that person. :-
wait.. how did u know the comment had to do with a guy? when i first read it i thought “aww man she spilled something.. i can relate to that” guess that’s just my clumsy nature tho :0)
honesty all for the glory of God, to testify of God!
