These are the things I pray for my bride to be.

I know that we are both clueless as to who the other is, but I believe that is what makes the prayers I pray for you on a daily basis that much more heart-felt. I am not trying to toot my own horn, I am just humbly bowing my head to seek God’s face on your behalf. It may seem strange, but I know that it will all be worth it one day.

I pray that no matter where you are or what you are doing that God’s grace and favor stay by your side. This world is a dangerous place, and I cannot be there to protect you. That is why I pray that our loving Father places His hands of protection on you and leads you safely to me. I pray that God not only protects you physically but also mentally and spiritually. It is my prayer that He will keep your soul and heart from harm; while simultaneously preparing the both of us for each other. I rebuke all acts of evil against you, and that no plans of Satan’s shall prosper. I know that God is able to keep you safe. I haven’t forgotten that you were His before you were ever mine.

I pray that God grows your ministry. I know that the Good Lord will place a calling on both of our lives to be completed together. With that being said, I know that there is a ministry that you are doing now by yourself. I pray that it brings glory to God. Find yourself in who he wants you to be and serve Him with everything you have in you. Let Him work through you and show you the path he requests you to take. I pray that you stay in his will, and become a great woman of God.

I pray that you are not lonely and that you have surrounded yourself with Godly friends and role models. Finding a good friend these days is near about impossible, but I have prayed that God will give you the types of friends that will pick you up when you are down and will also strengthen your relationship with God instead of hinder it.

I pray for your happiness. You see, when the Lord shows me who you are, I will promise to make you happy as long as we both shall live, but I do not want your happiness to be completely dependent on me. If that was the case, then you would be living a life of misery now, and I certainly do not want that. I pray that you find joy in the things that you do, and that your happiness is rooted in God. I want you to be happy with me, don’t get me wrong, but truthfully, I want to add to your happiness not be the sole reason for how you feel.

This part of my prayer could be considered selfish, but I do pray that you are on your way. I will continue to pray for you every day regardless of when you may enter my life, yet the anxiousness that is built up on the inside of me grows stronger and stronger as each day passes. I know that everything will happen in God’s timing, and that I should not rush His plan. Just know that when we meet, my arms and heart will be open, and most importantly, I cannot wait to live the life God has planned for us. That is my prayer for you.

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.
