I Am The Daughter Of The King

I am not in control, but deeply loved by the one who is.

I Am The Daughter Of The King
Sarah Carstensen

You see, my Dad is awesome. There is something very special about Him. He is the king of all kings. Yes, this means that I am a princess. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am the daughter of a king. It just makes me feel good on the inside.

Have you heard this saying, “He’s got the whole world in His hands. Red, yellow, black and white we are precious in His sight?" Well this is talking about my Father. My Dad created the Heavens and the Earth. Every animal, tree and sunset are all examples of the artistic talent He has. Daddy even created humans. You and me, His children.

My Dad has 10 rules. They seemed like easy rules when I first heard them, but now they are a little bit more difficult to follow each day. I probably break at least one rule each day. I try really hard to follow them and obey my Father, but I fall short. One of the great things about my Dad is His forgiving heart. I have seen my Father forgive people who thought they were out of reach for forgiveness. My Father loves me still and encourages me to do better. Sometimes, He even places scenarios in front of me to help me practice making the right decisions. I am so thankful for Dad’s forgiving heart.

Sometimes people get mad at my Dad. Honestly, sometimes I even get mad at Him. I cannot speak for the others who get mad at my Dad but let me tell you about my experience. There have been a few times that Dad has me walk through a rough patch. I do not understand why He does things like that, but somehow He always makes it a learning experience. For example, most of the time I learn to Trust Him, easier said than done, let me just tell you that right now. When I reflect on those hard times, in my life, I realize that Dad knew what He was doing all along- even when I thought He had fallen off His rocker!

One thing my Dad seems to say over and over is to Trust Him. Who would have trouble trusting their own Father? It is always hard to trust Him in the beginning, but as soon as I give Him all my trust, He sees to it that everything will be just fine. He takes care of me. He makes sure I am safe and He makes sure I know that I am loved. The only thing He asks of me is to trust Him.

Dad wears a lot of hats. He is a Physician. He is a Teacher. He is a Counselor. He is a Caretaker. He is a Provider. He is a Lover. He is my Dad and I stand in awe of Him. I am so proud of the Man He is.

My Dad is the best Dad out there. He compliments me, He makes me laugh, He holds me, He holds my hand, He gives me advice, He encourages me and He loves me. He tells me to come to Him with my doubts and worries. He tells me to come to Him when I have exciting news. My Daddy is always there when I need Him. The only thing He asks me to do is, to let Him into my heart and to trust Him.

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.
