To The One I Will Marry

You’ve done it. You captured my heart. I have thought so long and hard about the man you would be. The man who would one day ask my dad for my hand, and the man I would run away with. I have prayed for you since I was a little girl. I pray now that you will be loved the way God desires you to be loved. I pray that I will let your heart run wild; that I will be vulnerable enough for you to unveil my beauty. I pray every day that I will be kind, quiet, and faithful to you always; faithful in every way. I will be there for you through the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad. No matter what the occasion, I will stand by your side with a smile because you, simply, are enough.” When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case. I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love.”-Adele “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor other, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delights in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 I have worked hard to prepare my heart to love the way that God designs love to be, and I have wondered who would be the person to receive my love.

When you get on one knee

Know that I have waited for you my whole life. I have hoped that this would happen since you first swept me off my feet. I trust with my heart that you have made this decision knowing God has approved us spending the rest of our lives together. When you ask me to marry you, you ask for every part of me… the messy hair, loud laugh, and obsession with Netflix. But you also marry the girl who runs for God, the one who adores you more than you will ever know. “I could make you happy, make your dreams come true. Nothing that I wouldn’t do, go to the ends of the earth for you. To make you feel my love.” -Adele

Happily Ever After

It wont be easy and it may not be fun at times but it’ll be our happily ever after. You will be my world. You will be my rock and my comfort. I pray for this time, for our future. I pray that it will be full of laughter and love, of prayer and commitment. I pray that God prepares my heart for this time; that I will be able to love you unconditionally as long as I live. I pray that He continually melts my heart when I see you. I pray that we are blessed in every way. That my breath is still taken away when you kiss me. I pray that no matter what, you are ready for anything He brings. I ask that you will be led by Him and we, your family, will follow.

I promise to love you with every breath I take. I promise to give you my all in every aspect of my life. I promise to give you the fullest life I can. I promise to be your forever.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
