The Treasure of You
“Now I know that you’ll always be where I go.” –Plus One, Forever
A bartender at the restaurant where I work said to me this week, “Jen, if you could make out with ANY guy in the WHOLE world, who’d it be?” I just looked at him and started cracking up.
I couldn’t even make eye contact.
So, I ran away in the name of tending to my guests, came back, stared at him and said, “You know, you make me think about stuff!” While scratching my head I honestly confessed, “Well, if you must have an answer, I’ll say to you, my future husband.”
And silence filled the space between us.
Sometimes I wish that Chuck Norris were my dad…
…that anytime a boy wanted to take me out, he would have to come face to face with fear itself. I was reading my Chuck Norris Facts this week and I learned that Chuck Norris doesn’t need to breathe because air hides in his lungs for protection. When I think about “guarding my heart,” a mountainous task that intimidates and frightens me, I wish I could summon the big guys, call for backup, and just all around break out some Chuck Norris on the guys that come showing up red on the radar of my heart.
Fortunately, even though I cannot call on Chuck Norris as my personal “heart-guard,” I have learned over time that I am not left alone to fend for myself in these tender matters. That is great comfort to me as I grow in love.
Yet still I ponder: what does it mean to “guard your heart”? Anytime I even THINK about dating or even think about just talking to a guy, people constantly remind me to “guard my heart.” But what exactly does that mean?
