The Unexpected Story

To the Girl Waiting for Love

My Story isn’t going to end the way you’d expect it to…

You’d expect that it would end with me being swept away into the sunset by the man of my dreams and getting my happily ever after…
But no.
That won't be the ultimate end of My Story.
My Story is so much better!

My Story starts before the beginning. Before the beginning of time, that is.
Because before time there was One.
One God.
One Creator.
One marvelous being who spoke the earth into existence.
But before he spoke, he thought of my name.
He knew exactly what his plans would be for me.
This is why My Story starts before the beginning.

As I was growing up, all I dreamed about was being in love.
Just to have that closeness with someone who would do anything for me…
Even die for me.
But I got sick of waiting for my life to start and my dreams to come true, so I tried to make it happen myself.
I looked for love from so many different people.
I even thought I had found it a few times.
Until one day I realized that it had been so long since anyone had looked me in the eyes, said “I Love You”, and meant it…
Or “You Are Beautiful”, without any ulterior motives.
These are the kinds of things a girl needs to hear. Not just the words, but the truth behind them as well.

But these words are written down for me so many times!
“I have loved you with an everlasting love” and “you were created in my image… I formed you”.
When this One speaks to my heart, His words are true from eternity past and on into forever.
Written down for many years, but still new everyday.

This is why He is all I need.
This is why He will always be there.
And He is the reason I am alive!

I am no longer waiting for my life to start.
And though it may come, I am no longer impatiently waiting for that love I have so long sought after.
I already have Jesus.
And He is all I need.

HE is the reason why My Story is so much better.

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.
