Today I Thought About You While I Was Curling My Hair

 One day you will be watching me get ready.

I curled my hair for the first time in a while because I had time this morning. I was jamming out to music just soaking in my thoughts. Then you crossed my mind and I don't even know you yet. 

If you haven't figured this out yet, future husband I was thinking about you. I was thinking about how  I hope you will love me no matter how my hair looks.  I was also thinking about how I hope you will be patient with me when it takes me a long time to get ready. That happens, after all I did get an award for taking the longest in the locker room from my friends the swim team in high school. 

Today I was listening to country music. I don't even know if it is possible to not think about love while listening to country music, so naturally I was thinking about you.

I looked in the mirror and was like God Bless the soul who falls in love with my crazy mess. In that moment I started praying for my future husband. I started praying that he would be more in love with Jesus than he could ever love me. 

The Johny Diaz song "Thank God I Got Her" came on and i started listening to this song on repeat. It describes me so much. I have deep brown eyes, a closet full of nothing to wear, and so many shoes I need another pair. Moat of all, once you get me talking you can't get me to stop. I listened to this song hoping that one day my forever man would one day sing something like this about me and all my little corks. 

I not only prayed for my future husband and our future relationship. I prayed that it would be a God centered love. I also prayed for my patience as I wait for the day the love of my life is watching me curl my hair. I prayed for you babe, where ever you are. 

For the girl out there trying to patiently wait for Jesus to send her future husband, I know where you are at. Pray for him, yourself, and your love to be God centered. Also, never settle. God has someone wonderful out there for you. 

Also to the girl looking for a godly man, focus on being the godly woman he is looking for. This has been on my mind recently as well. When I looked in the mirror again I began to pray that God would make me HIS. Sometimes I can get so focused on finding a guy who loves Jesus as I ask my friends "Does he love Jesus?" every time a good looking guy walks by. 

I looked in the mirror and prayed that God would give me hands that serve, a heart which loves with HIS love, eyes to see the needy, ears to listen, and a mouth that speaks grace. I prayed that when people see me they would see JESUS! I prayed that I could be the girl a strong man who LOVES JESUS with his whole heart would be looking for. Future husband, I prayed that I will be the girl you don't know you need. More importantly I want to work on my relationship with Jesus so when we meet we can build each other up and grow in Jesus together. 

Hey girl, don't ever settle for less than you deserve and future husband know I am out here seeking Jesus before you seek me. 

That is my thoughts from today. I hope it was encouraging.

To The Girl Who Has Not Been Herself Lately

To the Girl Who Has Not Been Feeling Like Herself Lately,  I know you are out there, feeling less than yourself. Maybe you are going through a hard time or maybe you are just trying to find yourself in the midst of the pressure to succeed, in the eyes of the world. I don't know why you feel like this, but I can tell you that  I am right there with you.  My friends have noticed my lack of joy and I have been smiling less. I don't exactly know when this started happening, but I do know that i have not been feeling like my old self for a while. I know people change and maybe I have, but this has not been good change.  I used to be so happy and welcoming to everyone. I would even go out of my way to say "hi" to people. It is not that I don't like people, but lately I have become so overwhelmed when in a large group of people.  I have become so consumed by my circumstances that I have failed to go out of my way to love others. Maybe you have been feeling l

Patagonia Makes My Friends Think of Me

Image
Do they see Jesus when they see me? If you are the slightest bit outdoorsy you have probably at least heard of Patagonia. As a Young Lifer, I love to show off my Patagonia gear. Honestly the location of the Patagonia Outlet played a role when it came time for me to decide where to attend college. While I chose University Montana Western for many reasons, the Patagonia Outlet was definitely one of them. A few of my friends who are not as familiar with the brand have told me that anytime they see Patagonia they think of me. This was so sweet to hear and such a compliment that people associate me with my favorite outdoor brand. It got me thinking I wonder what people think of when they interact with me. I thought about what I want people to see. I thought about the first impression I want to give when I meet a new person. I want to be kind and inviting. I want people to feel comfortable around me. Just looking at me I want people to see a hint that I might enjoy spending time outs

He Sees Me

The Lord does not just think, He knows.  The other day I woke up to the sun coming in the window at 6 a.m. Not being much of a morning person I was not ready to get up, so I laid in bed thinking and praying what was on my heart. Then my mind began to wonder to a place which is very familiar to my brain. I thought about the day a guy might look at me and say I'm beautiful and be ecstatic to be with me. I thought about that for a few minutes and a mix of emotions came over me. I thought "Why hasn't that ever happened to me?" and "When it actually happens it will be beautiful." Then I got out of bed to get ready for the day and looked in the mirror. I felt the Holy Spirit come over me and whisper "You are beautiful." My beauty does not come from what others think of me it comes from my creator.  "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know this full well"  Psalm 139:14 Then a
