and worth far more than diamonds."
-Proverbs 31:10
This verse was the verse that was going through my mind right before I went to sleep last night. I probably laid in bed for about 15 mins. just thinking about this verse and what it means in my life right now. I will tell you in this entry that I am also reading and trying to live this chapter out because these verses really reminds me of my grandmas. I could see every one of these verses in their lives. It might been in different ways but I saw them and I want to be like them in every way that I can.
Right now, I have nothing to work towards or care for accept for myself and my future. That might sound a little selfish but really if I want to live out these verses, it really isn't that selfish. I'm learning how to be a Godly women for the people around me. I will also say that these entries are about what the Lord is teaching me in my own personal situations so don't take it word for word. The Lord could totally be teaching you something different in your own situations.
I will also say that this I usually don't write with guys in mind but this one could be good for both girls and guys. Good for guys because I don't think guys usually think about how they treat women until it is too late sometimes. That might sound judgmental but read on and you might see what I am talking about. I'm going to give old and new examples so please note that most of these examples are not what is happening to me right at this moment in my life.
I've learned in the past and present that I never meant anything to a guy then more then the new girl in class, a friend, or a supporter, if that. I have had all three happen to me and it is not fun. It is a lot of learning but not fun at all. I don't mind that because it is better then nothing but at the same time it is hard on me and in general any women that has a crush on a guy. Every women dreams of a guy that will sweep her off her feet because he cares. He might not be prefect but remember girls, you aren't either. Girls, we can be responsible to for thinking this same way about guys. I know I have before.
Here is what I think when I think about this verse. Women want to be treated more then just a new person or supporter. She wants to be one of a kind kind of jewel. She wants to be most important to that one guy. She wants to know that she can count on that someone special. She wants to know that she can trust someone with anything and everything. She wants to be the only one that guy thinks about. She wants flowers and chocolate and to be treated like a princess. She wants jewels that she can wear. I know marriage and relationships aren't all that but they can be every once in awhile.
She doesn't want to be asked out just because she is the new kid in class for that year. She doesn't want to be asked out because she is the only one left. She doesn't want to be asked out because she just moved to some place new. She doesn't want to be asked out just because her friends are going out and she is the third wheel. Guys, I know that you don't want to be asked out just because your culture might be different from ours. You might be someone famous and have a great job but don't want to get asked out because of those things. The same thing goes for both parties and that is just that we want to be asked out for who we really are, mistakes and all.
Women might not deserve to be treated like a princess or queen sometimes and we understand that but that doesn't mean that we should never get treated like one some of the time. Women doesn't want to be left back there the other woman or people in your life. She wants to be up front and center, right after God. If she means something to you, then you need to tell her. Don't leave her guessing.
Guys, I know you want the respect and encouragement from women that you deserve even when times are hard. When we try to give it to you, know that we are just respecting you in that sense that maybe you do mean more to us as just friends but yet maybe the time isn't right or we don't want to be the ones who make the move.
I hope this entry makes some sense to some people. All I really am trying to say to guys and girls. No one likes feeling back in the back when they might have deeper feelings for you. It can be hard on a person. When they want to help, let them. When they show they care, tell them thank you every time. I feel like I have been in the back all my life and I just want some important guy to show that he cares enough to say something about his feelings. I've had enough of this being in the back. I want to feel like a diamond and I am sure a lot of girls do too.
