Longing for a Fairy Tale Ending

Boyfriends. Girlfriends. Relationships.
It seems like these things are pushed all around us. I mean, ever since I can remember my dream was to be like a princess. You know, a Disney Princess like Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, etc. A princess who gets to dress up in beautiful gowns, live in a gorgeous castle, and most importantly meet a handome prince.

Now i'm not saying it's wrong to want your own prince because even God created Adam and Eve to be together. Man and woman and relationships, that's just the way it works. The problem starts when your quest to find Prince Charming overtakes your life.

It's sad to go on Facebook and see young girls (i'm talking 12 and up) in and out of facebook relationships. Those young girls who have already begun to allow their quest to take over. Young-boy crazy-impressionable girls that allow their relationship status to define who they are. I've seen it happen where these young girls think that a certain boy is "The One" one day, then the next she has her eye on another guy. Soon, she is entangled in a web of what she thinks is love. It's sad to see this happen to these young ladies because more likely than not, the entire situation will end with her getting hurt.

When I was younger I was in a club where we read "The Princess and the Kiss" by Jennie Bishop. It's a great story about a princess who was gifted, by her parents at birth, a very special gift from God. This gift was, her first kiss. When the princess was finally grown, the king and Queen presented her with the gift (her kiss). The book then goes on to detail the pursuers that came to try and win over the princess and her gift.

The story is so wonderfully written and packs a meaningful story in it's colorful pages. All Princesses have a gift, and that gift is to be given to your husband. If us ladies are running around trying to find our Prince Charming we are giving away a little piece of our hearts, or a little piece of our gifts.

After reading this book, I decided to make a promise to myself. I promised to keep myself sexually pure until marriage and to cherish my kisses. A great reminder of my promise is my purity ring. It's almost like my signature on my promise contract. By wearing the ring, it signifies that I will not break my contract (or promise). And as for cherishing my kisses, well that just means that I'm not going to kiss just anyone. I'm holding out for a special someone to give my first kiss to.

I haven't found my Prince Charming yet but i'm young and I have plenty of time to worry about that later. Right now, It's a perfect time to grow in my relationship with someone else. And that someone is the Almighty God.
