God,

I promise to wait until marriage. I promise not to give myself away to a man You do not have destined for me, just so I can be intimate with another person. Lord, I promise to seek out Your will when it comes to the man You have created for me to spend the rest of my time with. I will prayerfully seek out the man You have for me. I will be perfectly okay with being the only one of my friends not dating somebody, because I know all things work in Your time. I will not will not rush into marriage for my own desires.

Lord, I promise to work on my relationship with You while I wait for my future husband and even after I find him. I promise to continue to pray for my future husband until I know who he is and even once I know.

I promise to be faithful to my future husband by keeping myself pure. I will do this not only with my body but also my mind and heart.

God I promise that my husband and I will grow in you together and that You will be the center of our marriage. I promise we will be faithful to You together for the rest of our days and that our love will reflect You. We will follow Your plans for us together knowing You are with us every step of the way and that we will always have each other.

I promise not to be flirty and pernicious and to establish guidelines for myself in the way I behave. I promise to be true to myself and not to conform to the world.

I promise that when I am married I will be vulnerable with my husband and let him see the most hidden parts of my heart. I promise never to hide how I am feeling from him, even if my feelings are uncomfortable to face. I promise to always be faithful and true to him and him only. I promise to pray for him daily and spend time with You together. I promise to never talk to another man in such a way that makes my husband feel uncomfortable. I promise to take our marriage vows seriously, knowing they are between us and God. I promise to not have things be about me but how I can serve him better in our marriage. I promise to always fight fair and to never intentionally hurt him. I promise to never use his past hurts or current vulnerabilities and anxieties to my advantage in an argument.

I promise that if the day comes I become a mother to parent our children together in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I promise to not have children break apart our marriage.

I promise to never go to my family or my friends with my marriage issues. I will instead consult my husband, God and maybe a marriage counselor.

I promise to never go to bed angry, but instead communicate my feelings with my husband.

I promise to never lie to him about how I feel and what is happening to me.

I promise to connect with him not just on a physical level, but an emotional and spiritual level.

I promise that if there comes such a time that my husband and I are no longer together because death did us part that I still will not break our marriage vows. I will survive in knowing I met my soulmate, the one God had intended for me and know I will be okay on my own.

God, I promise that here and now as a teenager to see all these things as true.

I promise to live these words out all the days of my life.

That even though I am young, I take this seriously.

Because this is a promise between God and I.

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.
