Yours<br />
A Letter for Every Single Christian Woman<br />
Who Just Wants To Find Mr. Right<br />
by MidoriLei<br />
Dear Miss Right,<br />
I could ask you the same question.<br />
None of us were created<br />
to be alone, we thrive off of love<br />
and relationship, so I think it’d<br />
be mutually beneficial for us<br />
to find each other quickly. The<br />
truth is, and this is where most<br />
guys won’t admit it, I need you<br />
as much as you need me. I’ve<br />
tried to be one of those super<br />
macho guys, but in all honesty,<br />
in my heart, nothing could be<br />
more satisfying than to be your<br />
sensitive and loving provider,<br />
your husband. My plans and<br />
ideas are everywhere. I ask God<br />
daily for direction and confirmation.<br />
God’s the only one with<br />
the big picture, because I’m as<br />
lost as you are. I know that there<br />
are wonderful things out there<br />
for us to discover together, God<br />
will reveal them to each of us<br />
in time. There IS a reason we’re<br />
still not together. Logically it’s<br />
because we haven’t met… or if<br />
we have, we haven’t gotten to<br />
know each other. You’re not the<br />
only one without a line of ducks,<br />
I think some of mine might actually<br />
be geese, in which case, I<br />
have to be rid of them and find<br />
the ducks to fill their spots.<br />
I agree with you wholeheartedly<br />
about the right woman<br />
and the wrong time being the<br />
wrong woman. The same can<br />
be said for guys. And truthfully,<br />
God’s been dealing with me on<br />
issues that would only bring our<br />
relationship down. I struggle<br />
with the idea of being forgiven<br />
without cause, and I need to<br />
learn to be more accepting of<br />
grace. Until I am, please don’t<br />
give up on me. Truthfully, the<br />
reason we’re not together is that<br />
I’ve asked God to hold off on<br />
our introduction until I’m ready<br />
to be the man you deserve. I<br />
have some of the same fears.<br />
Trust me, nothing’s scarier for<br />
a guy than to think that he’ll be<br />
the emotional head over heels<br />
in love one, while you look on<br />
in disdain. I want to get lightheaded<br />
when you walk into a<br />
room, and I want you to melt at<br />
my smile. Don’t be afraid, you<br />
can never ask too much of God.<br />
Nothing is beyond His capacity.<br />
The very reason you feel like I<br />
should be these things for you,<br />
is because God has created a<br />
desire in you specifically for me<br />
and only me, who will be these<br />
things, and you won’t be happy<br />
with any other guy.<br />
And believe me, I’m far from<br />
perfect. My heart aches at the<br />
very thought of you getting me.<br />
I’m the undeserving one. It’s not<br />
fair that someone with a past<br />
like mine gets coupled with the<br />
woman of his dreams. But the<br />
beauty of grace, is that it makes<br />
life not fair. I AM looking for you,<br />
and I’m waiting for God to deem<br />
the time right for us to meet. The<br />
fact that I know you’re out there<br />
doing the same, only strengthens<br />
me further. I hate to disappoint<br />
you, but I’m very much into<br />
movies and TV… Luckily, to have<br />
an interest in something does<br />
not necessarily mean to believe<br />
it. Love is not a feeling or emotion<br />
that coincides with “Happily<br />
Ever After”, it’s a choice. And I’ve<br />
decided to love you unconditionally<br />
into eternity.<br />
Admittedly, a good appearance<br />
is nice, but appearances can be<br />
deceiving. Don’t worry about it;<br />
be yourself. My eyes were made<br />
with you in mind, so I’d say you<br />
have an advantage over other<br />
women. And besides, if you<br />
make yourself look too good,<br />
you’ll run the risk of attracting<br />
more than just me… I don’t want<br />
to have to fend the hounds off<br />
my woman! Your imperfections<br />
are what make you you, and<br />
I can put you just as easily on<br />
my screensaver or wall, as any<br />
of those other women. And the<br />
best part is, then I’ll have the<br />
real thing right by my side to<br />
keep me warm. Good luck with<br />
the cover snatching, you’ll need<br />
it. (lol) While there are a lot of<br />
pretty women out there, there’s<br />
only one for me. I would never<br />
settle for someone I could live<br />
with, and you shouldn’t either.<br />
Where’s the fun in that? I’m the<br />
one you could never imagine life<br />
without.<br />
I’m the guy you might notice at<br />
first, but only in that, vague sort<br />
of way, but if you got to know<br />
me, you’d find a soul that yearns<br />
after God, and that’s what will<br />
help you understand the plan<br />
God has laid out for the both<br />
of us. If I only saw beauty from<br />
the world’s perspective, I’d be a<br />
rather lonely individual, wouldn’t<br />
I? There is none more beautiful<br />
than a beautiful soul. I can’t wait<br />
to be captivated by yours. I’d<br />
take on all the pain the world<br />
could throw at you, and you’d be<br />
the heaven that helped me bare<br />
it. I’ll be the first to admit, I struggle<br />
with taking a passive role. It’s<br />
hard to be a leader with no one<br />
to lead. Your point is valid, however,<br />
I find it ironic that you were<br />
the one to initiate this conversation,<br />
to which I am responding.<br />
I have difficulty knowing who to<br />
pursue, I guess my biggest fear is<br />
accidentally getting in too deep<br />
with someone that’s not you. I<br />
have been hurt and rejected, and<br />
mostly because I’ve pursued…<br />
In fact, most of the stupid things<br />
I’ve done have come from “the<br />
hunt.” Maybe I should learn<br />
to do less shooting and more<br />
tracking. I can’t just fire into the<br />
crowds and hope for a hit. God<br />
has directed me on how to set<br />
my sights to find you. And you’ll<br />
be my trophy wife. (lol, couldn’t<br />
help myself with that one.) I’ll<br />
have you know, if you think<br />
I’d get married for the sake of<br />
getting married, maybe it’s you<br />
that’s looking in the wrong places.<br />
Marriage is a commitment for<br />
life, and that’s a commitment I’d<br />
be miserable to make to anyone<br />
but you. That and I want my rib<br />
back. I’ll tell you what, my rib for<br />
the covers, sound like a deal?<br />
There is no one I’d rather build<br />
my life with.<br />
We’ll have our pitfalls, but we’ll<br />
also have our mountain tops,<br />
and there’s no one I’d rather share<br />
my adventure with because I<br />
know that there’s no way I can<br />
grow to be the man God wants me<br />
to be without you by my side.<br />
I’m getting kinda tired myself. It’s<br />
58 days after New Year’s Eve, and<br />
I kissed no one… I was actually<br />
oblivious to the clock altogether<br />
as I was watching Monty Python’s<br />
Flying Circus (but that’s another<br />
story). Believe me, I’d rather have<br />
been in your arms. I wasn’t truly<br />
alone, but I was as good as. I’m<br />
one of the ones that feels lonely<br />
in a crowd, because I just don’t fit<br />
in. I’m not of this world, and that’s<br />
how you’ll be able to pick me out.<br />
I can’t wait till I can hold you as we<br />
usher in our first New Year together.<br />
It’ll be my happiest moment…<br />
until the next time you smile.<br />
Good night to you, my love! God’s<br />
time is His own, but I pray daily<br />
that He take into consideration<br />
our time not spent together is<br />
time lost. I’ll search for you until I<br />
die, but I trust God to make sure<br />
it doesn’t take that long. Don’t<br />
settle for Mister Sorta Charming,<br />
because trust me, when you meet<br />
me, he’s going to look like the<br />
frog. I know not what form you’ll<br />
take, but I know you’ll be the<br />
woman God’s formed for and from<br />
me. I know you will have honesty,<br />
faith, tenderness, and a pure<br />
heart: each a beauty in and of its<br />
own. Even one of these is worth<br />
waiting an eternity for. I’ve loved<br />
you as long as you have me, and<br />
for the same reason. Don’t give up<br />
waiting for me, I’m searching for<br />
you. When we do finally meet, you<br />
can be sure God will have orchestrated<br />
it to bring out the both in<br />
best of us and to glorify Him in the<br />
greatest means possible. God’s<br />
been moving in both of our lives,<br />
and He’s been moving us together.<br />
It’s only a matter of time before<br />
that finally happens.<br />
Forever Yours,<br />
Mister Right<br />
