The Lessons We Learn...Over and Over Again.

Sometimes I am surprised by the strange times a person can become inspired to write. Today I felt inspired at about 6 in the morning, but I was awake studying anyway and now I have a little down time before my day begins, so it all worked out. :) This weekend has been one of those really good, learning weekends. I suppose more than anything this post is for my friends who are pre-college and even in college.

Ladies, there are two things that we need to remember. As daughters of a wonderful King remember, He has a perfect plan for your life, and it is beautiful. Guard your hearts...that is a phrase that God inspired someone to write in the Bible, and it is a key to His plan for our lives. Guard you hearts ladies, don't let anyone who does not deserve your heart steal it, even a little bit of it, from you or from God. They say patience is a virtue, and I will admit that there are so many things that I hate being patient for, but I promise that the patience we struggle with is eventually going to result in something absolutely beautiful!

The second thing is this. Don't ever be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. I have been so blessed with amazing friends here at school who inspire me and encourage me. They also point out my faults and try to help me do the right thing, even when it may be the hardest thing I have ever had to do. This weekend I had to do something that I didn't necessarily want to do, but I did it and boy did I find out some things I didn't really see coming. Did some of the things hurt? Sure, a little. What was more important though was that I did the right thing, and my life has changed for the better because of what I did. Don't ever be afraid to be blunt and stand up for what you believe in, but don't forget another Rule of A Lady...

So that's what I have been learning this weekend. Two amazing principles that, in a way, I already knew, but needed to be re-enforced in my life.

One more thing, I promise. :) There is a website that I have seriously just fallen in love with over this past year and I really recommend it.

It is...drumroll please...

I am crazy about this website and the woman who publishes and puts all her time and effort into it. She is an amazing author and really has a passion for young ladies. I highly encourage you to look at it and enjoy (She has also written many amazing books that are out of this world!).

So with my desire to put thoughts and inspirations to blog I end this entry with a smile on my face and excitement for a new week and the promises of what God will teach me! But for now, or at least until 9 am, I will just be in my dorm, sitting, sipping coffee, Keeping Calm and Writing On :)
