For the Girls.. How to find your perfect guy.

I've never actually typed this up, so I'll put it here.

Okay girls..  after this, don't say I never warned you...  So men are like lions.  Take it from me.. I know us.  The male lion is a pretty lazy creature.  He usually sleeps or reclines underneath a tree .. somewhere around 20 hours a day.  That's a lot of laziness.  Some smart nature people say it's because it's so hot in the middle of the African savannah, but you know..

So, the lion gets hungry..  he glances over and sees a herd of gazelle grazing nearby and he jumps up.. stalks the gazelle, gets as close as he can.. pounces if possible, but under most conditions (unless the gazelle wants to get caught, or is sick or lame (infer what you will)) chases the gazelle around a bit until he can pull it down from behind.  The killing over, the lion usually drags the gazelle back to his tree, eats until he's full and falls back asleep.

Here is the parallel.  A guy will do anything to get a girl.  He will chase her, take her out, spend money on her, talk to her, work hard, play hard...  and then, once he's got the girl, he goes back to lay under the tree.

Moral of the story:  Find a guy you love while he's laying under the tree (not trying to "get" you)  If you find that guy.. you'll be happy.

Basically, you need to do some research.  Girls if you want a guy who will lead you spiritually, don't get the guy who walks in halfway through service and sits or stands in the back row...  He won't change just because you start dating him.... well, maybe he will for 6 months.  etc..  just apply to whatever situation.

Basically ladies, you are the ones choosing.  The guy is the one courting.  You are the prize.  And if you're the prize, you'd better make yourself hard to get.. I don't mean make yourself unavailable, I mean raise your standards.  If he asks you out, give him a chance.. say yes.  But when you go out, you need to keep your eyes open and heart shut.  Until you know him better.

The Bible says to guard your heart..  it doesn't say that because the heart is delicate.. it says that because the heart will blind wisdom.  That word to guard means to tie it down so it can't move you.  Don't let yourself be moved until wisdom gives the okay.
