I know that we are both clueless as to who the other is, but I believe that is what makes the prayers I pray for you on a daily basis that much more heart-felt. I am not trying to toot my own horn, I am just humbly bowing my head to seek God’s face on your behalf. It may seem strange, but I know that it will all be worth it one day.

I pray that no matter where you are or what you are doing that God’s grace and favor stay by your side. This world is a dangerous place, and I cannot be there to protect you. That is why I pray that our loving Father places His hands of protection on you and leads you safely to me. I pray that God not only protects you physically but also mentally and spiritually. It is my prayer that He will keep your soul and heart from harm; while simultaneously preparing the both of us for each other. I rebuke all acts of evil against you, and that no plans of Satan’s shall prosper. I know that God is able to keep you safe. I haven’t forgotten that you were His before you were ever mine.

I pray that God grows your ministry. I know that the Good Lord will place a calling on both of our lives to be completed together. With that being said, I know that there is a ministry that you are doing now by yourself. I pray that it brings glory to God. Find yourself in who he wants you to be and serve Him with everything you have in you. Let Him work through you and show you the path he requests you to take. I pray that you stay in his will, and become a great woman of God.

I pray that you are not lonely and that you have surrounded yourself with Godly friends and role models. Finding a good friend these days is near about impossible, but I have prayed that God will give you the types of friends that will pick you up when you are down and will also strengthen your relationship with God instead of hinder it.

I pray for your happiness. You see, when the Lord shows me who you are, I will promise to make you happy as long as we both shall live, but I do not want your happiness to be completely dependent on me. If that was the case, then you would be living a life of misery now, and I certainly do not want that. I pray that you find joy in the things that you do, and that your happiness is rooted in God. I want you to be happy with me, don’t get me wrong, but truthfully, I want to add to your happiness not be the sole reason for how you feel.

This part of my prayer could be considered selfish, but I do pray that you are on your way. I will continue to pray for you every day regardless of when you may enter my life, yet the anxiousness that is built up on the inside of me grows stronger and stronger as each day passes. I know that everything will happen in God’s timing, and that I should not rush His plan. Just know that when we meet, my arms and heart will be open, and most importantly, I cannot wait to live the life God has planned for us. That is my prayer for you.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
