Girls are like diamonds

I had one of the most interesting conversations tonight. It started off with, "I want to ask you something, but I don't want you to get mad at me..." Oh, boy! That question/statement usually doesn't follow with what I want in that moment. In fact, it's usually the downhill turn to whatever climax I have been having in life.

So, being brave I told him to ask. I was right about the back end, I didn't like it. But as much as I didn't like it, I did. There was so much sincerity and truth in the things that were said and I knew it must be so. Then came the part that impressed me the most and put up probably a hundred-gajillion bonus points for this person on my board.

"Girls are like diamonds. They are so precious and deserve the highest amount of respect." I think I had to stabilize myself from falling off the LuvSac. This person was already held in high esteem in my eyes, but this statement shot him over the top. The great part is that I know he meant every word.

I put tonight on my FaceBook status that someday, when the timing is right, I will be able to have what is in front of me. This person holds so many of the qualities of the person I seek to find in my life, but the timing is all wrong right now. I don't know why there are people who come in to our lives at the moments they do, but they do. The Lord in all his wisdom knows what he is doing and I just have to trust and keep walking forward. I respect this person and I care for them, and for that I have to step back and continue to be patient.

I don't know why the Lord thinks it's a good idea to put the unattainable in front of me, but I sure hope he is having fun with it ;) Someday the timing will be right and all of the qualities I find in this person will be in front of me again, yet this time they will be attainable.
