Laughing over ice cream last night, I looked up at TheBoy and realized that all of my week's worry about "unequal yoking" had vanished, and that being with him filled me with a deep sense of peace and rightness and joy. Surely some of my more conservative friends will say I'm deceiving myself, being led by my feelings, rather than the spirit of God. I disagree. If anything, it's a both/and rather than either/or. If nothing else, I've learned over the years that God does not act in the ways I expect.
How many guys are there that want to spend a date walking through the science museum, discussing archaeology and conspiracy theories and art and philosophies of child discipline and why we went to the colleges we did and our families and WTFWJD and the difficulty of admitting to myself that I'm no longer a GLE and if we'd like to go to Mars and whether mummies are creepy or cool. I am more truly me with him than I've been in a long time.
TheBoy is not who I thought I was looking for. But he may be who I was hoping to find.

GLE = Good Little Evangelical
