I'm Just Not His Type



Have you ever wondered what you will be saying or doing or wearing the day you meet someone who will change your life forever? How do you even recognize such a person?
See, there’s this guy in her writing class that turned her head at first. Football player build, easy manner, very intelligent. The moment he opened his mouth to speak though, she immediately placed him in the “not-my-type” box. Why, you ask?

Because she saw herself through his eyes.

What I Won't Give Up For Love

I took a sociology class my last year in high school. Academically it was an easy A, but content-wise, we covered some tough subjects. I remember when Mr. Teacher tried to make us define love. That was a disaster...I still remember some of the answers-
"Love is what makes you all sparkly inside!”
“Love is, ummm, like, special and good.”
“Love means that you want to be with that person for rest of your life, even they are poor and ugly and mean to you.”
He then asked us if we would be willing to drop everything and everybody in our lives to follow someone we loved. Several of the girls said yes, and a few like me, were vigorously shaking their head no. (My answer has since changed several times...)
This post isn't going the direction I planned, but let's see if I can make my point.
I think everyone has one thing they would not be willing to sacrifice for Love.
Don't get me wrong, ya'll. Love is wonderful. It's delicious and exciting and moving and powerful.
BUT.
I think everyone has one thing they would not be willing to sacrifice for Love.
Go with me here. Before I reveal my one thing, I'll lay down a few givens:
-We will assume from here that I am referring to the love of a man. (Woman, for my male readers.)
-We will assume that my relationship with God is unquestioned. Meaning, we will automatically assume that I would never give up my relationship with God for a man.
-We will assume that I am sharing this out of a desire to be open and honest, and NOT to bash anybody, anything, anywhere. Seriously, it's all love =)
And now....my one thing...
