Leslie Ludy has an online magazine called, Set-Apart Girl . She and her husband, have written several books, about how to live a "set-apart" life,and living for God!
I have enjoyed reading her magazine in the past, and I stumbled upon one of this months articles by chance, just quickly flipping through the magazine, as I didn't have "time" to read the entire thing. Then I came upon, page 29! On an article about Godly Girl/Guy Interaction. However, in it, it listed four characteristics a "set-apart" girl should NOT do or be or have!
One of them was to have "googly eyes". Someone you stares and gawks alot!
This is me to a TEE! In the article it mentions, that a "guy notices when a girl is watching him, and especially when the same girl gazes in his direction all the time." It also went on to say that, " you may think it is unnoticeable; however, the likelihood is that there are numerous people in the room that notice the tacky googly eyes on your face."
This struck hard.
I stare. I gawk I have..googly eyes!
Do you want to know the worst part?
I have googly eyes at the wrong person! The person I should have all my attention on is being pushed to the back burner. I'm concentrating on this other person, who no doubt has no feelings towards me, while the person I've pushed aside has loved me unconditionally, irrevocably. Even while I ignore him, even though it hurts him to see me so callously throwing my affections on thoughtless ventures, he loves me still. Something I take for granted. Every day.
No matter what I do, he's there. No matter what I say, he's there. He's there, he's never going to leave me. This person who I've had googly eyes at, would no doubt go screaming, running in the opposite direction if he found out only half of my problems. Yet, the love of my life has been by my side through EVERYTHING, half the time he's carried me!
So the next time my googly eyes decide to pop out, I better be careful as to which direction they're pointed at!
