"He'll have blonde hair and green eyes. Height? He'll be a few inches taller. Wait. Scratch that. His eyes will be blue...turquoise." I'm sure all of us can relate to this story as a little girl. Whether you were like me and played "wedding" in the pool house or had that certain someone whose name was always used in the K-I-S-S-I-N-G song,we all had dreams of finding our prince charming!
Back then, it seemed appearance was number one..as visuals seem to take a toll on children. While I still swoon over a gent in a pastel oxford I've learned that isn't the most important thing.
Well...I've met someone new.. He loves Jesus more than anything. Chivalry and southern hospitality run through his veins. He has a dream and a plan. The lake or the beach..that's where you'll find him over the summer. That guy coaching his brothers little league..that's him. The one standing out as "that Christian guy" at school,I'll back him any day.Well mannered and smart, you hit the nail right on the head. A republican? Of course! Out on the course with his friends? He's the one in the terra-cotta shirt.
I think we all have a mentality of our prince charming in our head..it's just finding him. I truly believe God made someone else for each of us on this earth and has a plan for us to meet up at some point. The other day I read a statistic that said 80% of people have meet who they're going to marry before they're 18. Crazy, right?
Our society takes relationships so lightly this day and time. I'm blessed to have a family who doesn't! Actually, what inspired me to write this was something "someone new" said to my parents on our first date. My dad led us out with a: (the typical dad of a teenage daughter) "take care of her and have her home by 12." " I'll take care of her. She's the daughter of the King of Kings so she'll be treated like the princess she is."
Maybe he's the guy you pass on the way to work everyday, the guy whose been your best friend for years, the guy at the table beside you at the restaurant. So..to all of you I hope you find your prince charming wherever he may be!
Xoxo,
The girl in a polo and pearls
