That same day I experienced another first: I brought my laptop to Starbucks and got a hot drink and sat there sipping it and appearing studious or businesslike (you choose) while doing important-looking work.
I've always wanted to be one of THOSE people: people on the move with hot drinks and laptops and pressing ideas and no time to lounge at home. They just look so...purposeful and self-assured. They claim their space at the coffee shop or cafe as if it is their own and stay as long as they need to get the job done.
So I got to play the part. It was fun.
My brow furrowed, I could have been filling in a spreadsheet for a law firm or something. Yay me!

So, I've mentioned soundtracks before in my blogs. I'm going to do it again:
"You don't know what you got so you just give it away to anyone who's looking....
So save your love for somebody who's earned it,
Don't cave because all the wait'll be worth it....
You're beautiful, it's indisputable."
-Plug-in Stereo
This song plays at work but the other day it just hit me.
In the Bible there's a passage warning against throwing one's pearls to the swine, because the swine will devour them and then turn against you and trample you.
The swine have done nothing to earn your pearls and have no respect for them. Your talents, beauty, and love and affection aren't just for anyone. You may not realize it, but you are infinitely valuable no matter what you've done or who you think you are, and saving your love for someone who recognizes that value - saving it for as long as it takes - is worth it.
The most important line to me is "You don't know what you got so you just give it away."
God didn't make any mistakes when he made you and I. We have perfection inside of us and sharing it with anyone who looks at us just doesn't make sense.
I urge us all to remember that "the wait'll be worth it."
