Ok, so I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and write a blog about the reality show, "the Bachelor"... I don't know how many of you watch it, but if you did.. shoot, even if you don't, you've probably heard what happened Monday night. The guy, Jason, picked one girl at the end of the show and proposed, only to ( 6 weeks later), decide to "follow his heart" and dump her on national television and proceed to ask the other girl that he had dumped 6 weeks ago for another chance. For any of you that know much about me, you know about an experience I went through about 8 years ago. I got engaged my sophomore year of college and we had set a wedding date, and I was honestly in love with this guy. Then, a couple of months later when I went to visit him out of state, we spent a whole week together, only to have him dump me the day before I was supposed to come back to North Carolina. I was heartbroken and really really angry.
So, watching this show on Monday night brought back some pretty horrible memories on my part. Am I glad now that I didn't marry this guy? Absolutely! Thank you, Jesus, for saving me from a huge mistake.. But the problem that I have with this guy in my life and with Jason from the Bachelor is that it sure seems like nobody takes engagements very seriously anymore. This frustrates me because if you are a girl, you know what a big deal getting engaged is.. and it only happens for the first time once.. so, when a guy goes back on his engagement and breaks it off.. this girl can't get that first time back ever again. He has stolen that from her.
I was so incredibly blessed to find a man like my Corey. While we were dating, he was so careful with my heart. He didn't rush things and he was always very careful to pray and know what God wanted before he ever made any kind of decision. He didn't even tell me he loved me until he knew for sure that God wanted us to get married. That is the kind of man that girls are looking for.. not the kind that makes rash decisions and in the process breaks girls hearts..
so... Men.. take some advice from a girl who got hurt by a very rash decision.. be careful with girls' hearts because one day you will give an account for what you did with it.
ok = so I'm off my soap box and I feel so much better now! heheheh
me and my guilty pleasure of reality tv
