Most fairytales go like this: girl gets into some trouble in normal ‘damsel in destress’ style, needs help and then some random prince (that the girl has never even met before) sweeps in and saves the day. That is how every single fairytale as old as time has went. What most little girl’s perspective of reality is built on and what most girls grow up thinking will happen to them.

Well NEWSFLASH! You probably already know this and if you don’t, I hate to break it to you, but life hardly never (if ever!) works out like that. I know when you are young, you have plans. These plans may have involved meeting your prince in High School or at a coffee shop, but you soon grow up and look back and laugh at these plans.

Those plans involved you married right now and on a completely different path than you are on, but have you ever stopped and thought maybe God had better plans than those simple little plans you had in your head. Have you ever thought that maybe your little mind could not even fathom what he has/had in store for you.

I know if I think about this whole last year of my life, I would have never even imagined I would be where I am now. What’s funny is how everything turned out this way. It has taken about a million things to fall in place for me to get here, and if any one of those things did not happen, everything else would have crumbled and nothing would have fell into place.

Maybe, just maybe, our plans do not involve a handsome prince to come save the day. Maybe it’s just you, saving yourself and becoming the queen of your life first. The prince can come later!
