Being a proclaimed daughter of the King in a lost world can be daunting at times. Feelings of loneliness or even fear will try to take control of your life. Understand, Sister, that you are NOT alone. God will place specific people in your life that will help mold you into the princess you are meant to be. You have to learn to let go and trust God because you were not meant to walk this path alone.

I have always been the one to encourage others; I needed to be okay in front of people so others would not see the battle I was fighting in my own mind. When I had nothing to keep me occupied, I was the one to struggle with loneliness and conflicting thoughts about my worth. I knew I was loved by God. I knew I was not truly alone, but I didn't know why I felt this way. It was because I refused to accept those people that God placed in my life who were meant to walk in faith with me.

It is vitally important for your faith that you engage in strong relationships with your sisters in Christ. I had to trust and understand that what was going on in my life was only a trial meant to strengthen me and those around me. God's light is magnified when His children are joined together. As women of faith, it is our responsibility to love, respect and lift one another ALL the time. This can be accomplished by being there when a sister needs it most and when she does not. I have seen amazing growth and blessings in my own faith as I have experienced more God-centered women praying for me and as I have prayed for them.

Let us become the women we are called to be. Let us be more like Mary, Ruth, Esther or any of the other beautiful women in the Bible. Let us allow God use us to give women back their sense of worth. Let us love, the way He loves us.

I am forever thankful for the women who have encouraged me to dive deeper, love harder and praise higher.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
