I Am The Daughter Of The King

I am not in control, but deeply loved by the one who is.

I Am The Daughter Of The King
Sarah Carstensen

You see, my Dad is awesome. There is something very special about Him. He is the king of all kings. Yes, this means that I am a princess. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am the daughter of a king. It just makes me feel good on the inside.

Have you heard this saying, “He’s got the whole world in His hands. Red, yellow, black and white we are precious in His sight?" Well this is talking about my Father. My Dad created the Heavens and the Earth. Every animal, tree and sunset are all examples of the artistic talent He has. Daddy even created humans. You and me, His children.

My Dad has 10 rules. They seemed like easy rules when I first heard them, but now they are a little bit more difficult to follow each day. I probably break at least one rule each day. I try really hard to follow them and obey my Father, but I fall short. One of the great things about my Dad is His forgiving heart. I have seen my Father forgive people who thought they were out of reach for forgiveness. My Father loves me still and encourages me to do better. Sometimes, He even places scenarios in front of me to help me practice making the right decisions. I am so thankful for Dad’s forgiving heart.

Sometimes people get mad at my Dad. Honestly, sometimes I even get mad at Him. I cannot speak for the others who get mad at my Dad but let me tell you about my experience. There have been a few times that Dad has me walk through a rough patch. I do not understand why He does things like that, but somehow He always makes it a learning experience. For example, most of the time I learn to Trust Him, easier said than done, let me just tell you that right now. When I reflect on those hard times, in my life, I realize that Dad knew what He was doing all along- even when I thought He had fallen off His rocker!

One thing my Dad seems to say over and over is to Trust Him. Who would have trouble trusting their own Father? It is always hard to trust Him in the beginning, but as soon as I give Him all my trust, He sees to it that everything will be just fine. He takes care of me. He makes sure I am safe and He makes sure I know that I am loved. The only thing He asks of me is to trust Him.

Dad wears a lot of hats. He is a Physician. He is a Teacher. He is a Counselor. He is a Caretaker. He is a Provider. He is a Lover. He is my Dad and I stand in awe of Him. I am so proud of the Man He is.

My Dad is the best Dad out there. He compliments me, He makes me laugh, He holds me, He holds my hand, He gives me advice, He encourages me and He loves me. He tells me to come to Him with my doubts and worries. He tells me to come to Him when I have exciting news. My Daddy is always there when I need Him. The only thing He asks me to do is, to let Him into my heart and to trust Him.

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.
