In Love With A Mystery Part 15

I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine" - Song of Solomon 6:3

Perplexed!

That is a very good word to describe my thoughts about this guy!

After all, when a girl typically gets dumped her heart is broken – not amused! Funny thing was every time I thought about the Mystery Guy dumping me I got the worse case of giggles!

Nothing about getting dumped was normal!

Why, I would hope that the girl would know more about the man than just his name and few little odds and ends. I know for a fact that ladies probably have more puzzles pieces put together about their man’s character than I did!

So why was this guy, who I shouldn’t be interested in, because I am sure he was going to complicate my simple life, giving me reason to pause?

I can tell you why!

He had the audacity to assume that I was interested in him!

And, because of it, my curiosity had been seriously peaked.

So, I ask you again.

“What is a girl to do when her curiosity is soaring and she has been given the indication that it isn’t going to go anywhere?”

Heaven knows I wasn’t going to call up the Prayer Chain for reinforcements to rage a new battle just because I was slightly curious about him.

No, I needed to stifle my curiosity fairly quickly.

If I could do it while being sensible all the better!

In my innocents and immaturity, the only way I knew how to do it was to conjure up a little extra inner strength and determination. What a better way to do it than adding a little redhead initiative like Anne Shirley from Green Gables.

Yes. I was going to try to get that heart of steel first and then add a little bit of prayer to it.

Now, if you are reading and you are beginning to hear the theme of “mission impossible” when it comes to getting this guy out of my mind. I can assure you I didn’t hear it.

Instead, by Sunday morning, I had the theme of “Terminator” on repeat.

I was on a mission and it was one that I was going to have execute extremely carefully because if I didn’t get him out of my mind, I might just find myself acting like one of those other girls – falling at his feet!

My Strategic Sunday Morning Mission was extremely dangerous!

I was going to have to walk the line.

I was going have to guard my heart and mind extremely closely.

I was going to have to do something that I hadn’t had to do in church before – ever!

Sunday Morning, after getting on my knees and praying no one would get wind of me being dumped, I sat down on the cushion of the middle row pew with a little bit more confidence. (See? I told you I would dabble into both options. I was a pro at that during this age. I would pray and then assuming God wanted me to carry on in some silly brilliant idea.)

Unfortunately for me, the Mystery Man still carried himself with the utmost dignity, quiet and carefully polite mannerisms. He still was as tall as a cedar tree. And, he still reeked with Mystery.

I didn’t know what to do about him being so appealing it made me feel like my confidence in mission was slowly dwindling.

I sat there trying to get the logical side of my brain to over ride my emotional side! It was at that time that I noticed that that logical side of the brain was working really well! I knew instantly that either God or this Mystery Guy was going to make my mission very difficult.

How was I ever going to have two minutes to study him so I could find some fault – a flaw of any kind!

What was more annoying was my mission was on the verge of being compromised.

I knew I had to do study him quickly and I had to do it before the worship songs started too. I was hoping to be able to do it during the announcements – that would be safe enough.

Why the announcements?

Well, if there was one thing I learned while in Bible College it was to make sure you don’t try to do this when Men are praising and worshiping the Lord.

Call me crazy but I am telling you that any gal that used her eyes to ‘assess” a guy while he was worshipping was married with in the year!

The truth of it is this: Young Ladies can’t keep their feeling in tack when guys are wrapped up in worshiping the Lord. Truly it is the most significant time to look at the heart of a man because it is the time you are going to notice more than just him wearing a blue polo shirt that makes his eyes sparkle. -- Not that I noticed.

Oh, alright! Maybe I did noticed a little. No girl wouldn't notice. He looked like a gift from heaven just waiting for some girl to open! And, it already appeared to me that some girls tried to tug the ends of that bow and found it was tied into a knot.

So, what are you going to find if you watch a Man worshipping with an interested heart?

Well, If you are watching closely enough, you are going to see those rare seconds of intimacy and raw emotions of a guy pouring his heart out to the Lord. And, the best part? They are clueless at the fact that they do so.

To sum it up, it’s at times like these when Men are worshipping that they have a more magnetic aurora of Christ-likeness surrounding them. They always have a peaceful rosy countenance which make them become more and more angelic looking and more handsome by the minute.

And so, if a girl is trying to find a fault with a critical eye, what she actually comes away with is seeing the guy’s potential in the Lord instead!

Ah! You get it don’t you, girls?

Seeing Potential isn’t always seeing Reality!

Yes, it can be a truly dangerous heart entwining moment for a lady, one in which should send off warning bells to any girl who is teeter-tottering on love. And let's just say many Momma's aren't experienced our educated enough in this to warn their girls.

All it takes is for a girl to see the potential of a “Family Priest, Protector and Provider” in a man and the scales get tipped into the direction of that MRS. Degree!

So, for me, as that pianist began to wrap up her piano song while ever one gathered for worship, I knew I only had time to greet a few people before the service started.

Wouldn’t you know it. Instead of starting off with our normal order of service, the choir decided to be the first to sing – and apparently this Mystery Guy had a solo again.

I had to abort my mission.

I closed my eyes as tight as I could!

He had an angelic tenor voice.

I might have peaked at him a little but I simply can't remember.
