When it came to guys and dating as a young women, did you feel like you went at it alone?
No one gave you any direction on figuring the whole thing out?
My youth pastor tried. He told me to make out “my list” – …the one with all of the qualities I was going to look for in a guy. Wow, was that one long list!
- Faithful
- Honest
- Stable
- Hard-working
- Kind
- Funny…
With my list in my head and in my heart, I began the search. What someone failed to tell me was when you’re 19 years old, finding a guy with all the traits of “perfection” is impossible! It was so discouraging!
As I began raising my daughters and we approached their teen years, I didn’t want them to know how hard it was to find a godly guy! I thought they might become so discouraged they would just go for any one that would ask them out.
The fact is: they have become discouraged.
So I have tried to help them make the switch.
To make the switch from trying to find the guy to focusing on The Guy.
To make the switch from focusing on finding what culture calls “the one” to putting their time, effort and energy into becoming “the one”. Developing who they are. Giving their attention to cultivating love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.
I’m teaching them to focus on becoming the girl God wants her to become and let God take care of a guy He might bring.
The girl who invests her time, energy, and emotions, not on a guy she doesn’t have, but on the One she does makes a move. She moves from obsessing over why she isn’t wanted to becoming the type of girl a guy would want one day. Not just as someone to date, but as the one he’d want to spend the rest of his life with. And that outcome is just a byproduct!
The true benefit is becoming a girl with confidence–God confidence. I’m not sure where you are at on your journey of raising your kids, but just think what might happen if we each teach our children to become the one God wants them to become. Then as their mamas, we can step back and let God take care of the rest.
Packed with revealing quizzes, interviews with guys and the tools she needs to become the girl she wants to be, Magnetic: Becoming the Girl He Wants empowers her to:
- Stop feeling powerless over her emotions and people’s opinions as she gains unshakeable confidence.
- Limit the draining affect of “girl drama” so she can invest her time in becoming the best she can.
- Replace the agonizing frustration of wanting to be noticed and liked with a deep assurance that she already is.
