I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that a good friend of mine just published a book called “Who’s Picking Me Up from the Airport?” about the journey of a single young woman. It is packed with great stories and advice for young women!
In this book there are also great words of wisdom from some guys and I loved the thought below and believe it is definitely worth sharing with your girls. This is what a guy named Davey says,
“If you really want the kind of man in your life who is willing to put in the hard, necessary work to make you his, don’t be easy.
I’m serious.
Don’t allow yourself to be low-hanging fruit. Don’t view yourself as easy to attain. …. For the wrong kind of guy, you are a means to an end. To the right kind of guy, you are the end.” (p94)
Please help affirm this truth in the life of your daughter and women around you. Please help them see that they are valuable to you and to the God of the Universe. If any guy treats them otherwise, they are not worth the time. They are far more valuable than they often know and feel. If they truly believe that about themselves, it will help them live like that is true.
Thanks for leaning in,
