Raising A Princess

I ran across a blog today titled...

"Who will raise a Princess for my Boys?"


I think for most christian mom's we want our girl to find her prince charming. After reading this blog I realized that I have a huge responsibility to raise a princess! Even though my daughter is only 7 months old, I believe that it's never to early to start praying for her future. I can remember praying when I was younger for God to send me my prince. Someone who will love God with all his heart and then me. He did, God sent me my husband Matt right when I needed him the most! We have been married over a year, and each day I continue to grow more and more in love with him! I'm extremely thankful for a mother and father in law who raised a prince for me to marry! I can only hope and pray that my daughter will experince this kind of love:)
And so I pray…
…for a Princess that realizes she is the daughter of the King of Heaven and Earth.
…for a Princess clothed in humility and grace, rather than the must-have fashions and trends.
…for a Princess with hands that will get dirty for the sake of serving others and with feet willing to walk the extra mile.
(Rather than one that demands manicures and pedicures by age seven.)
…for a Princess whose “adornment is not merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—  rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.” 
1 Peter 3:3-5
…for a Princess who loves unconditionally and forever, and doesn’t run out when her Prince falls off his Royal horse and isn’t as charming as she dreamed. (Because it will happen.)
My Prince& Princess :)


Amen.
