A Prayer For Becoming A Future Wife
Jamie Jones

Dear Lord,

I know that you have my future husband picked out for me. I know you know what he looks like, his personality, the way he acts, the way he talks, the way he walks, his flaws, his mistakes, and his heart. I know that you have saved him just for me and that makes him so special. I pray that you mold me into the kind of Christian woman that I need to be for Him.

I pray that you help me be the type of wife that my husband needs in his life. I know I am not perfect, but I pray you turn my emotional, rude habits, into kind, loving, patient, gentle and self-controlled traits. I know that I won't be able to be this type of wife without your help Lord. I know that only you are able to transform me. I ask that you give me a tender heart and continue to strengthen me and doesn't give way to fear. Give me a heart filled with love, compassion, and grace and not one filled with wrongdoings. Help me be able to love him just like you love us.

I pray that you give me the characteristics of a loving a supporting wife. I pray that you give me the right attitude to have no matter the situation we are in. Help me recognize all of his efforts, strengths and courageous acts. I pray that I am able support him in all of his decisions he makes. I pray that I am able to have a servant heart and walk by him in our journey of faith. I pray that I am able to continue to encourage him on his goals. I pray that I become his biggest cheerleader as I watch you work his talents in his life. Remind me to turn my focus away from his faults and flaws, and turn me towards his wonderful achievements.

I pray that we are able to go to battle and have victories together. I pray that we are able to walk with whatever battle comes our way. I pray that we are able to remember to keep you in the center our relationship and trust you with our lives. I pray that you give me the wisdom and understanding to bear through this. Equip us with the armor we need in order to go into battle. I want to be ready to fight this with him by my side.

I pray that you are able to prepare me with whatever path you set my husband and I on. No matter what he is, a soldier, firefighter, farmer, doctor, teacher, missionary I pray that I am able to help meet him where ever he is meant to go.

I pray that I am able to become his best friend. I want to become his enduring wife. I want us to be able to grow old together. I want us to always walk together in life and always have each other by our sides. I pray that our love for each other will never die. I want the days we spend together to feel like Heaven on earth.

I pray that you are able to form me into a Proverbs 31 woman. I pray that I am able to help take care of my family physically and financially. Help me always realize that after a hard day of work I am able to come home and realize how blessed I am for the wonderful family you have given me. Help me able to do all the things that a loving wife and mother should be able to do. Help me be a good cook, cleaner, provider, supporter, and teacher.

Lord, please come into my heart and help prepare me to be the woman my husband needs to be. I am ready to be a working servant in your hands Lord. I want to become a wife of the word, not a wife of the world.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
