To The Girl Who Keeps Raising Her Standards

The right guy will be worth waiting for.

To The Girl Who Keeps Raising Her Standards

1. Help in my walk with Christ.

2. Be a gentlemen to everyone

3. Open my doors for me.

Those are the top three things on my list. No I will not budge on any of them. Yes, I'm picky about this. I'm very picky about this.

When it comes to dating and giving your heart and time to someone, its ok to be picky about it. Many people view that as being too hard to please or being unwilling to give someone a chance. However, its actually just me waiting until I get the guy I know I deserve.

Throughout high school, I only had one serious boyfriend. And I was ok with that. I knew after that one, that I was going to wait until I finally met someone who treated me the way I deserved to be treated. Now, I am dating someone who has not only met all my standards, but has taught me to raise them.

We are God's daughters and we deserve a man who is going to not only hold our hands while we walk through the store, but someone who is going to hold our hands while we pray. You deserve someone who is going to not only open your doors, but stand there and hold them open for the others walking in behind you. We all deserve someone who going to lead our hearts to Christ through devotion and worship with one another. When there is an argument, you both admit to wrong doings, forgive one another and communicate on how to fix the problem. Many people today just want to blame the other person rather than admitting they were wrong as well.

One thing I have noticed in recent relationships around me, it has become acceptable to be disrespectful, inconsiderate and mean to your significant other. But that is far from what we as children of the King deserve. We deserve compassion, understanding, forgiveness and above all love. As 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

So, yes waiting and being stubborn with your standards is ok. Wait. Wait as long as God tells you to. Be patient in the Lord and trust that He knows what He is doing. He will guide you to a man who is everything that you deserve towards you. Don't ever doubt your worth for a man. Know that you are the daughter of a king and He will place the man you deserve into your life at the right time. Be picky. Be very picky about who you are giving your heart to.

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.
