Penny for my thoughts.

Orange Vest.

Well in the rambling of my mind I started to think about hunting. But not your typical camouflage and guns soiree, but the male instinct to hunt down a woman capture her and then….well I’m not really sure? The reason I’m not sure is because my generation hasn’t really been all to keen on this idea. Us females somehow have gotten the notion to do the hunting (unless you are a lioness or some cheap hollywood excuse for a “strong woman” I assure you this is not how it works.) as if guys need our help? Let me give an example I was walking through the halls of my church when some junior high girls come bursting out of nowhere. By tuning in to their conversation I can hear that they are currently in pursuit of the cutest guy in their grade. Also that they sent him “like omg a bazillion texts”. To all of which he replied “hey”. They then go on to talk about the various things that “hey” could mean or if because one girl’s had two y’s he might be more interested in her than her friend and vice versa. Cute right? Uh no. Well obviously my 16 year old self could not help but snicker, because I’m so much more mature. Please, I was in their shoes about 3 years ago. Anyways, I would like to point out that I immediately regretted this (the snickering).These poor girls are actually anticipating their prince charming to pop out of nowhere with a guitar and woo them and then… hold their hands? Why would he do that? They just sucked all the fun out of it for him. No longer will he have to build up the courage to go up them in the halls, or ask them to play mini golf, or ask them to get ice cream (I assume this is what jr. highers do I would also point out that I enjoy these things as well.)they just did it for him. I can’t stress enough how much guys like the chase, it’s exciting and thrilling. Sure if you approach a guy or make the first move he likes it. It builds up his self confidence but in the process you then rob him of that very important step. Think back with me for a minute when was the last time you heard your grandpa gush about how adorable it was when your grandma first asked him out or when she proposed how about when she carried him through the threshold? Oh wait, that’s right it never happened your grandfather did all of those things (hopefully). My grandparents have been married for 53 years all because my grandpa saw what he liked and went after it. To this day my grandmother remains on a pedestal, I myself would like to see the view from that thing. What role should us as females then obtain? Well like Emma Watson said “The less you reveal the more they wonder”. Trust me you just sit tight and wait on the right guy to come along (emphasis on right) ,because many will come along but you deserve so much more than just any guy. Now the underlying current throughout this whole thing that us girls just want to be loved. But no one can love us anymore than our Heavenly Father and if you just give Him your heart He will always cherish it. Song of Solomon 2:7 says “Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.” So ladies next time you want to zip up that camo and load up that gun remember nothing can satisfy our need for acceptance and love more than Christ’s love for us.
