A few thoughts running through my mind tonight. Do we lower our standards because we seem out of step with the world around us? Our ideals, dreams, goals. We let them drift away with the standards the world throws into our faces each day. Have a career, make good money, get married, have children, raise a family. All within certain time constraints and ages.
My hope is to go above all of that. To focus on the timing that God has set before me in my life. To work hard for HIS will, to travel with the intent to help those less fortunate, to see the world, experience true spontaneity in its most virgin form, to find love everywhere I go, to find true love in a man only hand chosen by Gods grace.
I do not hold a time frame in any of this.
Instead, I work hard and take the steps that God has set before me. Letting him light each and every step as I go.
A few stumbles have occurred and yet wonderfully I feel I am exactly where I should be. Everyday continuously moving forward.
God truly has the best in hand for those who seek him.
Just as Ruth waited for Gods best resulted in her union with Boaz rather than Bozo.
She did not allow culture to keep her from setting new standards and making wise choices for her life that would truly honor God.
I do not believe in compromise or settling as the sake of my beliefs or the word of God.
Why would we settle for such a generic version of life?
Break the cycle of "damaged goods"
Make wise choices.
Don't cling to the next new thing because the world tells you that your standards are just unattainable.
Work hard, trust the Lord, seek him, and beautiful amazing dreams will be fulfilled. Maybe not quite when you would expect or how you expected, but they really will be fulfilled.

Why not now?
So, I've been thinking ... for three years now, it has been put on my heart to reach out to single young ladies with hearts to follow the will of God.
I've been attending the same church now for over ten years, and it's always felt as if "young women" have been a bit overlooked. Nothing against my church, but womens conferences focusing on "married women" and women with children just really doesn't do very much for me.
There NEEDS to be a revolution of young women in our day n age.
To be quite honest, most young women these days are lost. Lost in the world of insecurity, sex, addiction, alcohol, and drugs. We give our hearts and bodies to the wrong men over and over again. We lose ourselves to the women in magazines and on the tv screen. We find comfort in our addictions to clothes, beauty, diet pills. We lose ourselves to these things every single day.
So here I am, just one of the many women in the world trying to STAND ABOVE it all.
In hopes of a better world. In hopes that I might not lose myself in this world, but gain everything in the kingdom of God.
This drive has been beating at my heart for years, and tonight something struck a cord.
Why not me?
If I can't seem to find a revolution of women to join, I'll start my own! And whether or not many women decide to join me, why not try? Why not now? Why not tonight?!
I'm in my room.. just trying to sleep. And my heart is bursting with all of these hopes and dreams for the women of today.
Single women in particular.
It's hard for us ladies out there.
We hear it everyday, we're not skinny enough, not beautiful enough, not ever quite enough. We aren't lady enough, we aren't hard-working man enough. And I just want to brag and boast to you that YOU ARE ENOUGH! The Lord of all the earth MADE you, and let me tell you, he NEVER makes a mistake.
He made you beautifully and perfectly. So take heed of this! Be strong in this! Be ever hopeful IN HIS promises! Be apart of this revolution with me! Let's realize our beauty in the God, EVERY SINGLE DAY, TOGETHER, for the rest of our lives. Because lets face it, men are great, but where are we without our LADIES of fellowship and love!?
I hope I can be there for all of you ladies. With a drive to follow our Lord in heaven.
He has such beautiful plans for our lives, and this blog is dedicated to that HOPE and to the reminder of HIS promises. I love you all, beautiful darlings.
