Kevin, Part I

Friday, May 1, 2009

From the time I was a little girl, I was challenged to pray for the guy that God would bring into my life to stay. I was also taught that you should never date anyone that you couldn’t marry, and that if you see things in the person you are dating that are not coinsiding with what you want in a life partner, get out!!!

I didn’t have a lot of serious boyfriends growing up, because #1, my dad wouldn’t let me, and #2, my dad wouldn’t let me. I mean while other boyfriends and girlfriends met at the skating rink, the movies, or the mall, if my boyfriend wanted to see me, he came to church. t’s like I had my own personal ministry to grow my youth group. Anway, in the relationships that I did enter, I learned a lot that I’m thankful for, and everything I decided and endured led up to meeting my perfect guy. Here is part one of how Kevin and I started dating.

I first heard his name from a girl who lived in my dorm. She went on and on about she met this HOT football player and he was good looking and sweet, and yada, yada, ya. She told me his football number, and I was sure that I knew the guy she was speaking of and told her I didn’t find him attractive at all. That was until the next football game, where I heard his name, looked at his number, and realized I had pictured the wrong guy. She was right, he was HOT.

A couple of weeks later, I was sitting in FCA, and felt someone burning a hole in the side of my head. I continued to worship, listen, whatever, but always felt the stare upon me. I tried to make out who it was, and had pretty much decided it was one of the football coaches. However, when I continued to sneak peaks at my obsessor, I realized that is was Kevin, the football player my friend had been talking about. At the end of FCA, Kevin walked over, and we made our introductions. He was the opposite of smooth and confident (sorry baby), although you would think he would be quite the ladies’ man. He was nervous, figety, and HOT. To give you an idea, to get in touch with me, he had a friend get my number, then had a friend call my number from his phone to ask if I wanted to hang out. LOL.

Neither of us were looking to jump in a serious relationship, but still wanted to hang out and around each other. I knew after a couple times of going on big group dates, that I was in trouble. He was shy, but he was also sweet, thoughtful, kind, full of life, striving to be full of Jesus, ……..and HOT! Needless to say, after months of praying, talking ,seeking, and testing him, I caved and told him that I would be his gal.

Told ya he’s HOT!
