You Will Never Be Like The 'Worldly Woman'

"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2

You will never be like her.

You won't be popular with every single person you meet. You won't be asked out by every guy. You won't have the best clothes, best makeup, or best hair all the time. Your nails won't always be done perfectly. You will never have a billion best friends. You won't be top of every single class. You won't be successful at everything you want to do. You will never have the perfect family. You may not ever have your dream car. You may get rejected, laughed at, and forgotten about by people. You won't be that girl.

You will never ever be like her.

You will be God's girl. God will remove people that aren't for you in order to protect you.

You will never be like her.

You will be sheltered from unnecessary heartache. You will be so focused on your heart and other's hearts that you won't even blink at materialistic things. You will think of others before yourself.

You will never be like her.

You will have exactly who you need in your life, whether it's one person or a thousand, because you have the King of Kings on your side. You will find your calling in life and soar in everything that has to do with who God has called you to be. You may fail at many things, but the blessing of living a purposeful life will be greater than you could ever imagine.

You will never be her.

Your crazy, broken family will be your biggest blessing because it will give you a testimony to reach people. You will have heartaches in this life, but you will never have to walk through them alone like her.

You will never be like her.

You will not be like the worldly woman. You will be a godly woman. This means to live a different life, but it also means a life full of purpose, confidence, and fearlessness. My precious friend, you will never be like the world. You will never be like her, because what you have inside of you is so much more than what you could ever imagine. You have the greatest power buried within the most precious part of your body. You have everything that you could ever desire right at your finger tips. You have the power, authority, and magnitude of Jesus at the mention of His powerful name.

You will never be like her, because you do not have to be her. You get to be you.

You will get to be your authentic self that the Heavenly Father created you to be. You will be trusted with power that will move mountains by the sound of your voice. You are and will forever be a Daughter of the King. So stop looking at her and comparing yourself to everything that the worldly woman appears to be. Look at your Jesus and know that she is actually looking at you.

You will never be like her.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
