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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
