Love Everlasting

Ever watched the wonderful mysteries of those "happily ever after" Disney classics? Back when you were a little princess, all you could think about was that handsome prince. While you got older you continue to look at those classic videos and watch that perfect, beautiful girl get the one and only special prince. Then you wake up from your dream and notice you're in your own bedroom with pajamas you wear around the house and hair that could use a shower. Not to mention those wonderful bags under your eyes. Obviously it shows you don't sleep well at night. You roll over and get into a sitting position. You wonder what that dream was about and how untrue it is. In real life those kinds of things never happen! Someday you do plan on rolling over to a prince beside you, but his name will certainly not be prince. His hair isn't always perfect. His voice won't always be soothing. Someday it will be all you can do to get your prince to look you in the eye. He will not always have those perfect words to say at the right moments. Instead of that perfect prince hair, he will be growing facial hair. His tone of voice will rise due to selfishness. It will take time to get his eyes away from the television screen, or worse yet, another girl. He will never find the right words to say. He will disappoint you.When we face reality it's all we can do not to hide. We spend our time dreaming up these crazy fantasies. Why shouldn't we? Growing up with one after the other doesn't teach us much, except the fact that every girl has a guy, THE guy. Guys think they are like Adam, someday they will wake up and look and there will stand their "Eve." In yet they allow their eyes to wonder into other directions until and usually after they find their girl. While guys are checking out the different Eve subs, the girls out there are looking for Prince Charming. Wishing guys would stop treating them like meat, and love them for who they are inside. What if you do find a guy that takes you for who you are? He does have nice hair. His voice makes your heart leap. He does look you straight in the eye. He listens to you and backs you up. He believes in you and supports you. His words make you comfortable. Whatever comes out of his mouth is positive. He looks forward to hearing your voice in return. He cares for you deeply and it shows. This guy truly loves you! Don't let him leave your life. This guy isn't perfect. He isn't Jesus. God will direct your life. He's the creator. He isn't at the top of the list. He is the list. Let God write your romantic reality. If you don't let him, trust me, it will only be fantasy for a short time. Reality will hit and things will fall. Let God lead you. He wants you to let Him. He is just waiting on you. Let God write your reality, otherwise you won't find Prince Charming but a "wicked stepsister" instead.
