Why You Should Worry Less About Finding Your Prince Charming
Paul C Brunson

Hello there. You. Yes, you! The one that's looking for the perfect man. The girl that's waiting for prince charming to walk up and take her breath away. The one that thinks she needs a man to fill that hole in her heart. The one that searches for the right guy in all the wrong places, yeah, I'm talking to you.

I was where you are until about four months ago. I was you until I realized that I couldn't search for the man of my dreams until I became the right woman. I was right where you are now not too long ago... Being in that place isn't fun. Being in that place wastes a lot of time. So, if you are the girl that has been searching for that one guy, stop. Stop searching right now. And let me tell you that you have bigger things ahead of you, girl.

You will not find him until you have found Him. Let me say that a different way. You will not find the right man for you until you find God. You will not find your future husband until you focus on becoming the woman that God has taken so much time to perfect. God has meticulously been working on a plan for you since before you were thought of by people on this earth. In Jeremiah 1:5, Jesus tells us that He knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb. He tells us that He set us apart before we were even born. Wow. Just take a second to think about that... Jesus' heart throbs for you and I. He wants girls like you and me to fulfill the plans that He has made for us. To the girl that is set on finding a boyfriend, please listen to me when I say that God has a plan for you.

You won't find Mr. Right until you become Mrs. Right. You won't find the good Christain man until you become the good Christain woman. Do you see a pattern here? I do. I saw that pattern for too long, and I am so thankful that the inspiring words of my dear friend Katie Bulmer stopped me from searching for a man. God helped me realize through her testimony that I needed to stop pursuing a man, and start pursuing Him. Because through my pursuing Jesus, He will lead me to a Godly man.

So, to the broken hearted girl who is continuously searching for "the perfect guy", please stop because I have found the One. And his name is Jesus. Once you find Him, I promise all else will fall into place. I know it may sound easier said than done, but it is so worth it. When you live your life for Him, He will put the right people in your life including the man of your dreams. But this time, the "man of your dreams" will be the right man.

Stop searching for him, and start pursuing Him.

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!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
