6 Things For The Man I Marry
Huffington Post

I may not know who you are yet, but God sure does and I think he'd want me to give you a bit of insight into how I feel.

1) I believe God made us for each other. I don't know what you believe in, but I believe in God and I believe He is giving us challenges and trials now that are preparing us for each other. Whoever and wherever you are, I know you are being made into the man I will one day marry. I cannot wait to see what our future will bring and what our story will be, but for now I will trust in the Lord's plan.

2) I am a mess. My mind is a mess, my room is a mess, and most likely my hair is a mess. While this may seem like a bad thing, it's probably great for you. I won't yell at you when you get toothpaste all over the bathroom sink or when you forget to take out the trash or even when you leave your dirty clothes on the floor. I will not yell at you, because I have most likely done these things before too. So, I may be a mess, but that works out in your favor.

3) I come with an interesting family. I love my family, but just like most people's they can get a little crazy at times. Family functions are often loud and filled with a lot of commotion. There's rarely a quiet moment when we are gathered. While they can get a little crazy, I love them and so I hope you're willing to put up with them as well, after all they did make me, me.

4) I will spoil our kid(s). But I will discipline them as well. Our kids will not run around Walmart throwing things in the cart, but they will never go without as well. I hope you aren't afraid of putting them in time out or taking away toys, because we will not have those kids that run between tables at restaurants. I also hope you're okay with big Christmases and birthday parties, because they will be done big. My kids will feel the love and support that I did from my parents.

5) I want holidays to be big. I love Holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas. We will probably be featured on some TV show about having insane decorations in our yard. I'll plan all of the get-togethers. Santa will be very real in our house and I plan on keeping the magic alive. Our kids will have the best Halloween costumes ever. I want our kids to have beautiful memories of their childhood.

6) I will love you with everything I have. I may seem a little crazy and I may go overboard with holidays, but I can promise you I will love you like no one else can. I will love through big gestures and I will love you through small gestures. I will make sure we never go to bed angry at each other. You will be reminded of my love each and every day and we will show our kids what a marriage should be. I will be there for you in the good and most definitely in the bad and I will never leave your side. My heart is big and I will give you every piece of it.

So whoever you are and wherever you are, just know that I pray to God to keep you safe and that while I can wait for marriage, I can't wait to meet the man God picked out for me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
