The Cinderella Syndrome

Don't be a victim of the Cinderella Syndrome.

I have never liked the story of Cinderella for three reasons:

1. She whined about where she was in life and yet did nothing to change it

2. She waited around for some guy to rescue her...really?? 

3. She allowed people to use and abuse her

Sadly I know so many women waiting around for someone to change their lives. 

They whine about their life constantly. Let me tell you something, do not whine about your current circumstances unless you are willing to do something to change them.

Don't wait for some guy to come in and rescue you. Actually, there's a guy that already has, His name is Jesus. He paid the ultimate price to save you: His life. Your future husband is not meant to complete you, nor rescue you. You are meant to complement each other, and to help each other walk purely before the Lord.

Christ said to turn the other cheek (Luke 6:29), He did not say to lay on the ground and let everyone trample over you. Be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:9), stand up for your faith and for yourself.

Lonely Valentine?

Feeling lonely on the day of love? 

I'll give you 7 reasons why being alone should make you happy!

#1-You can FINALLY give into those cravings for junk food that you've resisted for so long!

#2-Even if you have not resisted...well today is one day you don't need to feel guilty :D

#3-There is no need to share said junk food! Isn't that the best part?

#4-You can watch any movie you want tonight!

#5-It saves money, I'm all for that, even if I'm not Dutch!

#6-It's better to spend a few Valentines Day's alone then with the wrong man!

#7-Last but certainly not least: You get to spend it with the most devoted and tender man who ever lived; Jesus.

Here's some romance for you:

1 Peter 2:4 "Coming to Him as a living stone rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious!"

Psalm 139:17-18 "How precious also are Your thoughts to me, oh God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You!"

So here's what I want you to do:

          Stop feeling sorry for yourself! 

Go find some junk food! 

 Brew yourself some tea! 

                                      Open the living Bible to some of these romantic scriptures, and 

                                       Contemplate on the real meaning of romance!

Don't have any junk food? Make some, in a mug!!! Don't bother getting it out of the cup, it's more fun eating it right out of the mug!

With that I will say good night! Enjoy your "lonely" Valentines Day! You can bet on it I will!

XOXOXO,
