The thrill of the hunt

Some men like to hunt deer or bears or other defenseless animals.  Single women?  They like to husband hunt.  Yep.  Husband hunting is a sport on all women’s do to list at some point in their lives.  They might call it dating or going out with guys, but it’s husband hunting.

Recently a little voice inside my head has been telling me to stop husband hunting.  That little voice is God tell me no.  I don’t know if he wants me to stop looking because he doesn’t want me married right now, or because he wants me to open my eyes to someone around me.  I know that God will bring him to me when the timing is right.

Everytime lately when I am out in public and I see a cute guy the little voice in my head tells me “no husband hunting”.  It’s crazy!  It happens everytime!  Sometimes I quit looking, other times I continue to look anyway. Bad. Bad. Bad.

So yesterday my C.A.R.E. group from New Hope Church went to Tom Bass Park in Pearland for a BBQ.  I looked across the park and saw a cute guy playing Frisbee with his two dogs.  Everyone always says it’s a good sign that a guy is at the park with his dogs.  Naturally, I started walking over just to ‘watch’ him playing Frisbee.  As I was walking over the little voice said “No husband hunting”.  I paused for a second then I decided to keep walking (disobeying God). 

The guy noticed me and started walking towards me.  I asked him about his dogs and he answered me.  Automatically I could tell that he was gay!  Very gay.

Two things I learned from this story.

1. When God tells you not to do something, don’t do it.
2. Turn the opposite direction when he tells me to stop
3. If I keep husband hunting and God keeps telling me to stop he will turn ALL MEN GAY!  I don’t want that.

So for the sake of all you men out there (and single women), I am not going to husband hunt anymore until God says it’s ok for me to because we need straight guys to marry.
