a princess life.

A princess.

Doesn't every girl want to be a princess?

When I have the time, I love to settle down and pop in Cinderella and enjoy the story of the fairy tale princess and her cute little mice friends.

Or the elegant Aurora, and the excitement of when her handsome prince charming comes to her rescue. 

(after he slays the mighty dragon, of course)

Oh yeah, and the lovely Snow White (the old version. not the scary, Snow White and the Huntsman version ;) and her seven-dwarf-friends. 

I mean really Grumpy, get a life.

What girl doesn't dream of having a "once upon a time?"

I'm here to tell you that you do.

Whether you are single and enjoying this "waiting stage" in your life, engaged to the prince that you will marry, or have already found your prince charming and are enjoying the blessing of marriage, we are all princesses and live our "once upon a times".

We have the honor and privilege of being princesses of a King.

A real and true King.

A King that is kind and will never leave or forsake you.

A King that has "engraved you in the palms of his hand" (Is. 49:16) and even knows the exact number of hairs on your head (Lk. 12:7). 

A King that will always be there and will never "break up" with you.

A King that will listen to your pleas of help through this crazy thing called life.

You may think:

I'm not special enough.

or

I'm not pretty enough to be a princess.

Please, friend, do not believe those lies of the devil.

This quote by Margaret Mead:

"Always remember that you are absolutely unique.

Just like everyone else."

No matter what your friends at school or the ladies in your group tell you,

You are beautiful and you can accomplish great things.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a little girl come up and want to show off her new dress.

Twirling, she says, "Marli, look at my new dress!!"

It makes me full of joy to be able to see the twinkle in that little girls eyes and know that she knows that she is a princess.

Even though life gets rough, and it may seem like there is no more chivalrous princes out there, always know that you have a KING and he has the perfect timing for you.

His princess.
