Tonight I went to a Liberty University hockey game. Go Flames!! They won too baby! Even though it was an interesting and intense game I noticed something else going on behind me. Standing behind me was a really cute girl and her "everything-you-could-want-in-a-guy" boyfriend. This guy was tall, handsome, muscular, and had "the style". Basically, this guy looked like he just walked out of Hollywood's front doors. Two of his buddies walked up and started talking to him about the game and immediately his attention shifted to his friends. Was that bad? No! But his attention never once shifted back to his girlfriend the rest of the night! What a guy huh! The girlfriend tried to be a part of the action, but I could tell she was not enjoying herself anymore.
My point is this: Just because that guy or girl looks to be everything you have ever dreamed of doesn't necessarily mean he or she is a good pick. Looks can be deceiving. Does this go for everyone? Absolutely not. Just be careful not to hold on to something that is going to treat you bad just because you think you got "the catch".

This inpires me to discuss how our culture influences the standards that we consider to make a girl or guy "the perfect catch." The world's standards are so falty, which i'm sure many men and women with broken hearts can attest to. It's so hard though, even for godly men and women to become set apart from worldly influences when that is what surrounds us constantly! I'm sure guys are always teasing each other about hooking up with the hott cheerleader, and girls love to talk about and wrap themselves up in the casanova or romeo of their dreams. When we set our hearts and minds on things above, letting God first become the lover of our souls showing us what a true relationship is about, it slowly becomes easier to accomplish the task of seeing into peoples hearts instead of only noticing shallow appearances... and hopefully the Lord will lead someone along your path who has his/her eyes focused there too :)That sounds like a sweeter love story to me! <3
