To The Man Who I Have Been Praying For My Whole Life
Fave Thing

Growing up we were read fairy tales describing a perfect prince charming, perfect hair, dazzling white smile and an outgoing personality. He is a prince who loves his princess with all his being that he goes to extraordinary measures to be with her. However, as we grow older we quickly learn that this love cannot exist. Those fairy tales were all a lie because each of those handsome princes was missing a major quality that disabled them from showing and experiencing pure, true love. They were missing the love of God. The only fairy tale that exists is God’s love story and his love for us. Jeremiah 29:11 states, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Each night before I go to bed, I pray for you. I do not know if I have met you yet or if I will meet you tomorrow or in 10 years from now, but I do know that you are somewhere on this planet. Knowing that you are out there and do not know who I am or how much I already love him, I pray for you.

Dear Future Husband, I am praying that you live your life for God. I pray that the way you are pursuing your relationships right now are glorifying God. I pray that in your current relationships that you are not settling for less than you deserve, because you deserve the world. I pray that you never doubt your ability to impact lives around you. I pray that you are a leader, and that you never are ashamed to boldly walk in your faith.

Dear Future Husband, I am praying that you stay humble. I pray when people see you they see a selfless man living for God. When people see you let them see a man of God. I pray that when hard times come you seek God even when you do not want to. I hope you know that God has a solution to every problem that you face, it may not be the easiest plan but it will always be the best.

Dear Future Husband, I pray that you love me for who I am. I pray that you pursue me in a Godly manner. When you see me I hope that you see me for who I am on it inside rather than the outside. I pray that you have the same aspirations in life that I do. I pray that you have a crazy personality and understand my unique sense of humor. I hope that you can understand my need for laughter and joy in my life. I pray that you love to sing in the car as much as I do and go to Goodwill every Dollar Thursday. I hope that you are an encouraging husband who loves and supports me through every decision. I pray that you want a family just as much as I do. When we have children I want them to see the way you love and pursue me and inspire them to want to marry someone who can love them just as much. I want them to see you as a spiritual leader, a father who is Godly and prays for them daily. I want you to be the kind of man that cries when you see me walk down the aisle because you know that our love is rare.

Dear Future husband, I pray that you praying for me, just as I am praying 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.
