God's Love.

Is there someone in your life you wish would come to know the Lord? Someone you've prayed for, for years and they still don't want God's love? I know the feeling. I have many people in my life right now that don't know how amazing God's love really is. Especially this one girl, God lead me to a girl about 3 weeks ago, I was told she did not believe she was a Princess, she didn't feel God's love, and honestly that hurt. It hurt because I want every girl to feel like a Princess. I want them to feel God's love. I want them to go running to Our God every time something isn't going the right way, not run away from the one that loves you the most.

This girl is someone I want to see fall in-love with Our Heavenly Father. I don't personally know her, but I know of her, and that's all I need to know. You don't have to know the person to share your heart with them and be able to tell them about Our God, or lead them to the Lord. This girl is precious to the Lord. He wants her to go running into His arms. He wants to give her all the love she needs. I know it, I know that I'm not going to give up on this girl. God put her in my life for a reason, now I'm going to fight, and fight hard. I want her to have God as her first love. It may not be today, or tomorrow, or 5 years from now, but someday He will be her first love. Things take time, but I know personally that the waiting of it, is always fun! :)

While in Youth the other night, during worship, I was crying out to the Lord, I was crying out for this girl. I was praying that God was with her right at that moment, and that with everyday that passes, she feels His love a little more everyday. I've been crying out to the Lord a lot lately, and I will be honest with you..I didn't use to feel like God liked it when I cried out to Him in tears, but now I know He loves it, because He gets to be the one to hold me in His arms, and love me, and wipe away my tears. I was once told that some guys like it when you cry in front of them because they get to be the ones to comfort you(not sure if that's true or not but...) :) I think that's the way God is, He wants you to cry around Him so He can be the one to love you, and not someone else. :)

If you have someone in your life that doesn't know how amazing God's love really is, never give up. They will come around at some point. It may take them til they have lived their whole life, and are laying on their death bed, but at that moment they accept the Lord, all your Prayers, and tears will be worth it. Never give up on them, that's the worst thing that you could do is give up.

I know this girl will someday feel like a Princess. She may not even start clinging to God through me, but through another person, but all I care about is if this girl knows God's love. -His love is pretty amazing! :)

Captivating.

Has anyone ever read the book "Captivating"? Wow is it a good book! :) I just started it today...(which I think I have a problem with going onto another book before I finish one.) But I am just into the first chapter, but as I was reading the intro, I fell in-love with the book. John and Stasi Eldredge are amazing Authors! They know how to make you feel like you are someone special.

This book is about a woman's beauty, but I will tell you for any guy reading this..Guys can read it also! My brother read it a couple years ago, and it's always good for a guy to have a look into a girl's world, so they know what makes her heart skip a beat, or how you should honestly treat a girl. In this world today, I see so many girls not being pursued by guys. -Men, STEP UP and be the man in the relationship, or even friendship. Pursue her, and show her that she is fragile.

I'm gonna share a story of something that happened to me just the other day..this friend of mine might not like this too much, but I was told that I was "precious, and needed to be cared for." (in a different way but you get the idea) :) They weren't meaning it in the way of "you can't do anything in this world" but in the way that, girls are fragile, and in a way a guy views it, we are "fine pieces of China." We need to be cared for. We need to have love, but most of the time it's not the kind of love most people think about, it's the care, and time you spend with us. It's the times you treat us differently, or give us your undivided attention. That's how girls want to see love come from guys.

This book is one I recommend for any girl or guy, but probably more for guys if anything..I know weird right? But it's only because I know us girls want a guy to understand us, and know that our hearts are fragile, and you need to treat us right. You need to treat us like we are THE most fragile thing in the world. Be our Hero, and fight for us.

Every girl in the world dreams of the day they are captivating to someone, the day the man of their dreams comes up to them, and tells them that they are beautiful, and that they're prettier than any other girl in the world. We long for that day guys. We imagine the day we have our man's love. We know waiting is the best thing to do, but it's also what you think of when you are on your adventure of waiting. You think of the day the wait will finally be up, and the day you can meet the man you will spend forever with.

I ask you all and since I am a girl I will direct this to guys..If you want to be the true Hero in a girls life, even if it's the "friend" Hero, you are in that girl's life, and who knows maybe someday God has it in your life plan to become her "everything" Hero. It's the stepping stones of life. These years of your life are the years that you can't take for granted. You need to love her, and protect her, but most importantly be her friend, be the one she can go crying to if she needs someone. You want to be in her life right? Then be her "friend" Hero right now. You have to build a friendship from the ground up anyways, you can't start in the middle where's it's possibly fun, you have to go through the hard stuff before it becomes fun. :)

MOST importantly...Rely on God. Go to God with all your problems, and lean on Him for support. (guys and girls!) :) We all NEED our Jesus in our life, and at the center! :)

1:30am :)

While praying tonight, and having time with God. I got this image in my head. An image of God and this girl walking side by side, and God is just loving and caring for this girl, He is giving everything He has to her. He loves her, and wants to protect her with everything in Him. But while they were walking this girl starts to get distant from God. She starts to cling to the material things in life instead of God alone. She sees the things that “look” cooler out in the world, and she starts to want those things instead of the love from Our God.

As they are walking this girl let’s go of God’s hand, and jump in the back of a truck with her “cool” friends. So she thought they were cool. They start driving away slowly, and God lets it happen, because that’s what God does in life. He doesn’t want to stop you from your own choices because He wants you to learn in life, so He watches you drive away slowly, while He is in tears because He just lost His beloved! He just lost His daughter that He loves. But the thing is, is God still loves you even when you run away, or cling to something else instead of your Heavenly Father.

While God was watching her drive away, she sees His tears, but doesn’t want to act uncool and run into His arms, so she goes with her friends. –Do you realize that, that is what we all do at some point in our life? We cling to something other than God? We see something that looks better than God’s love out there and go running after that instead of God. It’s all in the way you view things, and what is your number 1 priority.

While getting this image in my head tonight I’m reminded of a time where I clung to the people in my life and the material things in my life instead of God. I was slowly loosing God, little by little He was leaving my life. Not until He was pretty far away did I realize that I needed to cling to Him again. I need to jump out of that truck, and go running into His arms, and whoever looked at me weird, they were not my true friends, and the friends that shouted praises while I was running to Him…they were my true friends! They were the ones I wanted to keep around for a while.

I want you to remember something…God let’s us make our own choices. He doesn’t like to see us get hurt, or go to bed crying, but He has to let it happen till we ask Him to come into our life again, and we cling to Him. We ask Him to hold us, and never let us go. That is when God steps in and is our shield. He is the one that will protect you from any harm. He loves you right now even if you are out doing bad stuff, He loves us all the SAME! He wants you to go running into His arms, and ask for His love.

Don’t be like this girl in my image, don’t run away from God’s open hands, run TOWARDS them! He will take you no matter how much darkness you have in you, He wants to wash you white as snow, and He wants to be your FOREVER Hero! You may be scared, or think you’re not pretty enough for God to see right now because you have so much sin, but this is the time God wants to take you, He wants to be the one to wash you white as snow. He wants to be the one to cherish you, and love you. Not someone else, not someone that thinks they can fill that spot for you…it’s Our Jesus that wants to do that!

I know it’s not easy to give everything you have to God, because I am still learning. But believe me, He wants to take every challenge, and every struggle, big or small and totally change it around, He wants to repair your life.

Will you let God take control of your life? –Can He be the Hero in your life, for today, tomorrow, and forever? He wants to be! He wants to be the Lover of Your Soul. He wants to adore you, and wipe away all your tears. He wants to forever cherish you.

Just a special thought that my Jesus brought to my attention at 1:30am this morning, while I wanted to sleep, but I know one thing…God is always working! God is all powerful, and He never stops so why should I? :)

Saturday Morning.

She woke up to just a normal Saturday morning, she did her regular morning routine, and long did she know her whole world would change that day. She would meet her Prince Charming. She was going to fall in-love today.

She saw the man she loved, the one she had always loved in a way, but today was different, today she saw something different in him. It was love. It was true love, the kind she always wanted to see in his eyes. He finally loved her in the same way, he finally took her in his arms and they danced. It was what she had always dreamt, the perfect fairytale was already forming for them, they just didn’t know how amazing it would actually be. Her dream came true that day. He said the words she’s been longing to hear her whole life. “I love you, I love you with all my heart, and in a way I’ve always loved you.” Those were the words she thought about every time she looked at him, for many years.

He did it all the right ways, he went and asked her dad for permission to date his daughter, and he didn’t just ask it, he told him how much he loved his daughter, and how much he would always care for her, and never harm her. He knew it was time to fall in-love with this girl, because after all he had loved her for years. He had dreamt about her, and today it wasn’t just another dream, it had finally become real life.

He was the man that would make all her dreams come true. Because she saw it, the nights he would try his hardest at giving her everything she ever wanted. Those were the night she had to remind him that he is everything she ever wanted. She didn’t need all the money in the world, or expensive items, all she needed was his love, and that, she already had.

When she looked at him, she finally saw a life that included the both of them together, and in-love. She saw her life flash before her, the life that she had always dreamt about. A life filled with babies, and the man she had always loved by her side every step of the way. She had always believed in fairytales, but didn’t actually think she would get one so close to the movie fairytales, but I think what made it so perfect is the man that was standing by her side that day at the alter.

As she is standing in her room at the church the day of her wedding she is reminded of that Saturday morning when her whole life changed, the day she finally got the love from the man she had always loved. She looked back to every memory, and as hard as it might seem it was One year ago today that she finally got his love. To her it seemed like just yesterday that her dream became a real life fairytale.

She may not have all the expensive things in the world, but she has the love from a man that means everything to her. When she heard those Three simple but so strong words said..”I love you!” that day of her wedding, she knew it was something very special, and she finally knew that the wait, yeah it was worth it!

As she looks into his eyes, while saying her written vows to him, she is reminded of the time they danced. It may not seem like anything special to anyone else but to them it was the first time they said “I love you” to each other. It was also the night he asked if she would like to spend forever with him. That was a night she will forever remember. He is not only her Prince Charming but, also her dream come true.

She sees all of this on the day of her wedding. While standing by the man she will forever love. The man she has always loved.

It can happen in one day.

You know when you think your life is perfect and then God comes along and shows you what's missing? It's honestly your other half. The one that will someday complete you. The one that could be standing right next to you, but you just don't know it. I think the cool thing is, is that God knows it. He sees your life 25 years from now, He sees the person that will make you smile everyday of your life. The one that you can say "I love you!" too for the rest of your life. The times coming everyone. Someone fell in-love today. Someone met their forever today. Someone saw their Love from across the room but couldn't do anything about it because they are waiting on God. Someone got married today. Someone had their first child today. And someone found out the truth today.

It's all in the way God works. But you know the hardest thing is when your family doesn't accept someone important in your life? The one you can't imagine life without, even with just being friends with that person. It's hard to see your family not liking them. If you think you're hurting anyone it's me. The pain is going straight to me, do you want that for me? God is changing me everyday, and I think that once I get this friendship in order, God is going to have me move onto other things, but right now I need to build this friendship up. I can't loose it, not now, because I've given so much into it. -It just hurts me, just as much as it hurts my friendship.

I guess I'm just one of those people that like everything to be perfect, and there to be no conflict. I want them to accept him. -Just as my friend, if anything you're doing it for me.

I know this is kinda a boring blog for tonight, but this is what's been on my mind the whole night. This friendship means the world to me, and to see the way my family acts..It honestly hurts. I told you I would be real with you after all :)

Waiting It Out.

Okay, so this blog is suppose to be for me to write about my waiting journey, and so I'm going to fill you in a bit on what's going on for me, and how the adventure of waiting for my husband to come is going. :) Well everyday is hard. Everyday I wish he was here, just to hold me and tell me that everything will be okay in time, and that I have nothing to have fear about, because someday we will meet, and he will be everything I ever dreamt he would be.

Today I started the book-"Lady In Waiting." Wow! that's a great book, I'm going to learn about Ruth, and what all she went through, and I have the study guide also, so it's definitely going to be a journey for me, but it's going to be fun, because honestly I don't know the story about Ruth, so I'm going to hear about everything she went through.

Something I learned in reading that book is, I need God to be my everything. I need Him to be the one I love with all my heart, because even if my future husband tried, he can't fill the spot that my Heavenly Father can. He's the only one that can hold me in His arms and give me that kind of care that I will forever need. My husband is here for so much more, but there are some things that only my Jesus can fill. I need to give everything I have to my God right now. He will forever keep my heart pure, and safe so the day my husband comes into the picture and tries to win my heart over, it will be pure, and there won't be any scratches on it, or anymore pieces missing because it will forever belong to him.

-Side note. Girls do you want to be pursued? Do you want to have your heart won over by the man that will forever have it? Do you want to be fought for? Do you want to have your man show you how much he loves you by going to your dad and asking permission to even date you? Do you want the first time those three simple but SO strong words said..."I love you!" to have so much more meaning behind it then just saying.."I love you." without really meaning it? Do you want him to be your Hero? The one that protects you, and treats you right? The one that would go to the ends of the earth for you?

What do you look for in a husband? Are looks all that matter to you? Or are you more into what kind of man of God he is? Do you want him to have to dig for your heart and work hard to win you over? Are you holding your heart on your sleeve or hidden in deep inside you?

Now that I've given you some things to think about I will give you my thoughts on these questions...I am after all writing this blog :) These are questions I ask myself often. I want to be pursued, Sweetheart if you're reading this, pursue me. I want to be fought for. I want to be loved and cherished. I want to give my heart away only one other time in my life. I want the next guy to be the one I marry, but you won't get my heart easily. You have to fight for it, and let me know that you're here to stay. I want to see you go to my Dad and ask for permission to date me, and I want to see a friendship build between you and my dad. He is my #1 Hero, you've got to pass his test first! :)

When you are going into a relationship with someone, make sure they past these tests for you. Make sure they are everything you've ever wanted and if not, that perfect guy will come along someday in your life. He's just not the one..Gotta wait a little longer :) But hey, it builds you up with every waiting challenge.

Valentines Day.

Oh Valentines day. Valentines day is suppose to be the happiest holiday right? The one that's filled with love from the one you will love forever. But what about the people that don't have that "special" person in their life? Or even plans on Valentines Day except for having a date with the computer? Yeah that's me tonight, but even though you might not think this, I'm okay with it. I know someday I will have that perfect Valentines Day, with the one and only guy I will ever love. I'm waiting for that day!

-Side note. I think there should be a day we celebrate "waiting" :) ha. Just thought it would be funny! (waitday?) hmm, this was funnier in my head...oh well! :)

I know that even though I don't have plans with my love tonight, or someone to have my love. He is there, somewhere in this world, tonight he is waiting for me. And wishing I was with him, just as much as I'm wishing I was with him tonight and always! I want to love you my love. I want to look you in the eyes and not have a fear in the world of saying those Three special words..."I love you!" I want to be able to love you without being worried another girl will catch your eye, and that you'll be taken from me. -I love you too much for you to be taken from me.

Somewhere in this world, you're loving me right now my love. I know you're waiting for me. I know that on this Valentines Day, you're not with another girl, you may be at home a little bored, but sweetheart, we will be with each other in time. Just wait for me please! It's not God's time right now, and I know that, and I believe you know that. Please just keep yourself for me. Keep your lovely eyes for me, and don't give something that belongs to me and me alone to a beautiful girl that walks into your life. Because I want to love you, and I want to have all your firsts. They belong to me, so please keep them safe for me until Our God brings us together.

To all of you out there that have a Valentine today...love them! Cherish them, and give them all the care in the world. They are more important then you probably think they are. You have their love, so give them your love also.

As for all the single, and waiting people out there like me..wait a little longer. He is coming. Even if you don't believe it, he's thinking about you on this Valentines Day. You already have his love. Now just save your love for the one special person God has designed for you, because after all it only truly belongs to him. No one else should be able to walk into your life and take your heart without having to fight for it, and win you over like the true Princess you are.

This Valentines Day will be spent with my future husband. I may not know who he is right now, but I am thinking about him often today. I miss him. I wish he was holding me right now, because I really need that love that no one else can give me except him. My love, if you're reading this right now, know I'm waiting for you. I'm spending the night with you my love, and Our God. I'm saving all my love just for you, because I know someday you will treasure it, and keep it safe for all eternity, so why waste it on someone else that won't keep it safe? I love you my love.

I'm thinking about all the love that's going around today, and today shouldn't be the only day the girl in your life get flowers, or that special kind of love from you, the kind that you try harder at today more than any other day because it's a "national holiday!" No, you should make her feel that special everyday, because after all, you do love her right? Then show her how much you care tomorrow, when she thinks that she won't get that kind of care for 365 more days, give her special love tomorrow also. Be her Prince Charming forever and always. Never stop trying to win her heart, because it might have be won once, but it doesn't mean she needs to stop being pursued. A girl always wants to be pursued, and loved. It's just the way girls are.

Sweetheart, I pray to God every night for you. I pray that you're saving yourself for me, and that you're loving me right now, and not another girl. I want you to save everything you have for me. I'm waiting for you, because I know the reward at the end of waiting will be so much better if I do save everything for you. My love, I don't know where you are on this snowy night in Tennessee but I'm thinking about you. Wishing I had your love right now. Will you wait for me? Will you wait with me? I am so excited about waiting, because I have this security that the next guy that tries to take my heart, and the one I fall head over heals for will be the man I marry. I don't want to date, I don't want to have to tell you someday love, that I didn't save everything for you. I want to tell you with a smile on my face that I'm all yours. Yes I gave a part of my heart to another guy, but it's a part of my life I don't regret because I'm here right now because of that relationship. So honestly I don't think I'd change anything. But that guy will never have what you have right now and will someday have. My love. You will have me for the rest of your life. I will be able to look you in the eyes and say, "you're the only man I've ever loved!" I've never said the words.."I love you!" to a guy. That is something special I have saved for my husband.

On this Valentines Day, love the one that is already in your life, and the one you have a promise to that you'll spend forever with. And for the people that are waiting. I'm so happy for you! You'll love the journey, I know I am!

As for all the guys reading this...honestly I'm sorry you just had to hear all that mushy stuff, but hey! it's Valentines Day! :) But to tell you guys that are waiting also. Your wife will love you even more for waiting someday...if that's even possible for her to love you even more! Waiting I believe is so much harder on guys because you look at girls differently then girls look at guys. I just encourage you to wait, I really hope my husband is waiting for me. I know that where ever your wife is, she wants you to wait also. For me honestly I think it's amazing that guys wait also. I thought girls were alone in the waiting journey..I was wrong, and I'm very glad I was :)

..okay so my sister just said, "wow! how much are you writing?? No one is going to want to read that!" Well I will say, if you just read this whole thing...thank you :) You must be bored, and have a lot of time on your hands!

oh! Happy Valentines Day!

oh the laughter.

okay, so you know how you get to the crazy stage when you haven't had enough sleep in the past day or so? When everything is funny, and when you are (for me) throwing cards everywhere because it's the most entertaining thing in the world. I love the moments I see Moriah my sister at the stage where she is WAY past sleep, so she is laughing at everything I say, which makes me feel good because I'm not that funny of a person, so that's why I live for the times she doesn't get enough sleep. :)

I get very giggly when I'm very tired, and I can't stop laughing...does that ever happen to you? ha! I find it pretty fun, to be able to laugh at someone tripping and falling, or when I say Moriah's name and she turns my way then I accidentally smack her in the face because my hand was just so close to her face. Or the times I see someone trip over their own feet, and then look around and most likely think to themselves.."I really hope no one saw that!" I will be honest though, I tend to do that, but it's always more fun to see someone else do it. Another one that always makes me laugh is, when you are in a group of friends and it's a serious conversation and you just start CRACKING up! Then everyone looks at you, and you start blushing, and want to run away because you feel like you just embarrassed yourself for the rest of your life. It's the worst thing in the world.

I just thought I'd lighten everyone's mood tonight. Laughter is the best thing in the world! It's even better when you're tired :)

Sleep deprived.

You know when your in that stage of "I need sleep now, because I feel like I could sleep for days..?" and the stage of "I need sleep but there is WAY too much going on in my head right now to sleep..?" yeah that's me right now. I'm needing sleep badly right now, but God is just speaking way too much to me right now for sleep. I believe that is sometimes when you get your best answers from God. So since I can't sleep I felt like I should write, because everything always seems to make sense in my writings..So we'll see!

I have so many questions for God. So many thoughts, and wonders why things happen, and there are times that those things that happen aren't the coolest things in the world. There are things that have been taken from me in the past, friendships, people in my life that I use to love. People that I still love but are no where to be found. One thing I do know is God is not to blame. In the past I've wanted to blame God for many things, and I realized that everything that happens in life only makes you stronger.

There have been times in my life that I have lost faith in my Jesus. Yes, I'm ashamed of it, but I just look at where I am now, and I think to myself, that may be what I needed to go through in the time where I felt alone, so I could cling to God, and realize that He wants to love me. I won't go into personal detail, but someone very important was taken from me about Nine years ago. In that time in my life, even though I was young, I lost faith in God. I didn't know why something so bad would happen to me. I blamed God for taking that special person out of my life. I felt helpless, and I felt that even if I tried I wouldn't be able to change anything. But I tried to change it, and there was a time I felt like I was to blame also. I thought I did something wrong. I realize now that nothing could change what happened. It happened for a reason, I still don't really know the real reason, but I know someday God will explain it to me. He will hold me in His arms and just let me cry it out while He explains why they were taken from me.

There are night I do cry in my Jesus' arms because of this. But I know that Jesus understands, and doesn't love me any less, and because at the time in my life I lost part of my relationship with my Jesus, I think it's stronger today because of it. He loves me, and realizes that I didn't want to be alone in that time in my life, but I felt like I shouldn't have come to Him in tears every night. He loved me the whole time though.

I'm sorry if I've put you all in a bummed mood, but I told you I was going to be real with you...Am I being real yet? :) This is what God was speaking to me tonight while laying in bed trying to sleep. I didn't really know the reason for this blog at first while I started writing tonight, but God just always seems to give me the words to type, I just have to be willing to listen. -I don't blame God any longer!

Jeremiah 1:19

-"They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

This verse stuck out to me tonight..There are times in people's lives that are harder than other, times where you feel like God is no where to be found. He is there though. He is loving you, and watching over you and protecting you with every step you take in life. He is waiting for the day you go running into His arms and ask Him to never let you go. He longs for that day more than we long for the day we get a ring put on our finger and have a promise to a man that we will spend forever with him. Or the day we welcome our first child into this world. It's something God wants for us all. It's hard for Him to watch us go down the wrong path, or to not be following Him, but He realizes that at some point we will let Him take control. It might be 20 years from now, or it might be the night we are laying in the hospital bed dying. He still waits for that day more than anything. He wants to love us. He wants to be our Prince Charming.

Something I've enjoyed lately, is falling asleep in my Jesus' arms! He loves holding me, and I know it. I love feeling the comfort, and security of being in His arms. He's the Lover of my Soul, now and forever more!

The main reason God brought this verse to my attention tonight is because I'm realizing how many people are lost in this world. More than lost, not believing God is even real, or not believing He loves them at all. Finding love and comfort in someone else while God is standing on the sidelines in tears because He just wants His child in His arms safe and protected. God wants you! He wants to be the one that holds you while you fall into a deep sleep and dream for the whole night. He wants to be that person for you. He just can't till you realize it on your own. Please give it all to God.

I will tell you that there was a time I was lost. Not in the horrible way, I still went to Church, and still loved God, but I wasn't giving time to Him, or spending time with Him thanking Him for the amazing life I have. I was living life, which I thought was cool, until everything in my life was being taken from me...my Great Grandpa died, I wasn't very close to him but I still loved him. Friendship were being lost. Friendships that I had, had for years, they just all the sudden were gone. Rumors were being spread about me and my family. I was being hurt from all sides it seemed like. I didn't feel God at all, and at that time I didn't know why. I thought He was just suppose to always be there for me. Then about a year after not having my Jesus as the Lover of my Soul, I gave it all to Him. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't easy, and I'm still learning to give it all to Him, but I'm getting there each and every day!

I gave everything I had to Him, because I knew I was lost without Him. Do you know what God did for me? He took me in His arms...gently at first, remember I was still scared, and He held me, and loved me. He saved me from broken hearts, from rumors, from friendships being lost. And I will say, for awhile it was just me and God. I didn't let friends in. I didn't even want to be close to my sisters. In that time though God was changing me. He was loving me, and protecting me. He was giving me the care I needed and because of that I'm here now. I have friendships after friendships. And One friendship that means more than anything in the world to me. Because it was a saved friendship, I will tell you that we are still trying to set the perfect ground for the tree to grow on to start building our friendship, but it's starting and it's only here today because of my Jesus!

There is one thing I know..giving it all to God when I was lost was the best thing I have ever done. I didn't realize how lost I was until I remember back to one night I was laying on my floor in my room just praying to God. Just giving it all to Him. Then there were the nights I went to sleep crying because I didn't feel the love that I should have had. Those nights were the nights my Jesus was holding me and comforting me till I fell asleep.

Tonight is another one of those night..My Jesus is holding me, He is right beside me, loving me and smiling at me for how far I've come in a matter of a year. I've still got a long journey ahead of me since I just took on waiting for my future Husband but it's gonna be a fun journey. I just know it, I can feel it! :)

crazy ride.

Life has changed so much for me in the past year. I've experienced God more, I learned who I am as a person...well partly, I have found out that you never stop learning who you are, because God is changing you everyday of your life. He is building you up to be the person you've always longed to be. Something I didn't know would happen is, friendships would be lost, friendships would be built, but also trying to get a friendship is hard enough, but trying to keep it once it gets torn down, and you start loosing your faith in it, that's when it gets harder than you ever imagined.

I am going to be writing about the adventures, struggles, and excitement that happens for me, in this time of my life...my waiting stage of life. You can follow me if you want or you can dislike me but this is who I am! I am a Jesus lover, He is my rock, and I love Him with all my heart, and no I'm not going to change for anyone. If you don't like me the way I am, then that's okay with me! :)

I'm real. I'm fun. I'm quirky at times. oh, and I'm a Princess in Waiting.

Who knew waiting would be so hard? Definitely not me. I thought waiting for my husband to come into my life would be fun, but also not hard at all. Ha! was I wrong? I will say that in the beginning of choosing to wait, I didn't really want to. I told you I was going to be real with you. I wanted to live life and I knew that liking other guys was not in the "waiting" plan. That's when God took control of me. He showed me that my Love is out there somewhere, and I need to be the one to wait for him. I can't be giving my heart and emotions to someone else when I'm suppose to only be giving those to one person in my whole life. So I promised my Jesus, and my Love, that I would wait. Let me tell you..waiting was the best thing I've done in my life so far! God's been my rock for the past couple months, and I've been so close to Him, and it's amazing. There are nights I go to sleep in my Jesus' arms. He loves holding me. He loves it when I go to Him in tears and ask Him to take all my worries away instead of going to my best friend and asking him to comfort me. My Jesus wants to be the Lover of my Soul. He wants to be my Prince forever and always!

As you can tell, I love to write. I am not much of a talker, so this is how I get my feelings out there. This is how I express myself as a person. God's given me this gift, and I love it!

Hope you enjoyed the first of MANY blogs...there will be many you can count on that! :)
