{My Future Darling}

As i began to eat  my popcorn while the movie previews were playing, my heart was beating rather fast. I had been waiting and waiting, and may i say it again? WAITING to see this movie.
i have always been a fan of sweet fairytale stories with a pure romance story intertwined.
 After all, I'm a Disney princess, Oh, did you not know that? *awkward*.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

In fact I'm positive that during the movie i wasn't the only girl who was wishing she was a Disney princess who would find her very own prince charming.

Even the little girls who dressed up like Cinderella sat *or squirmed, depending on how little* but anyways that's not the point ;) , i know i sat in awe of the timeless beauty and her charming prince.
How he treated her. How he smiled at her.

How she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. But how he listened, with a soft heart.

There was parts in the movie that had me tearing up and saying to Jesus,
 ''i hope my love story is just as beautiful as this''.

But then Jesus whispered back to me. His beautiful sweet words seemed to wipe my tear away,
he said,

''My darling Katherine, Your love story will be even more beautiful, because i wrote it. And your prince charming has been hand picked by me. Someday his world will collide into yours, until then, i want to rescue you off your feet. To take care of you and to comfort you. To be the lover of your soul. To be your prince charming''

 My heart was instantly warmed hearing the king of kings talk to (me) his daughter, his princess.

I observed how in the movie the two step sisters never believed that she deserved such a man as the prince. They always expected her to have such low standards. Which is often what God's princesses do. They don't believe that they will ever meet such a prince, so they have to lower their standards.  They're not pretty enough, or worth it. You see, Cinderella never wanted a Prince. She just wanted Kit. She didn't even have to know he was royalty to be attracted to him. It was his heart, and his character that captured her.
But little did she know that Kit was indeed the Prince. It was like a big sweet surprise waiting for her. That the Prince, the most charming prince in the land chose her. Just a simple girl.But she was more than simple,  she was much more than that to him. She was beautiful, lovely, sweet, kind, wise, and she had courage. But most importantly, she wasn't only  breathtakingly beautiful on the outside but she was beyond beautiful on the inside.  A true prince won't just be attracted to your looks, but your heart. If you meet a prince who is only attracted to your looks, and nothing else, maybe he isn't a prince after all. Maybe in fact he is still a frog. You see girls, we don't want the slimy frogs who will play with our hearts, or the frogs who are too blind to see the true beauty God has placed in our hearts, or who don't see us as gifts. The frogs who aren't considering our future husbands, and the frogs who aren't in love with God first.

Our hearts are like a beautiful treasure, and we should treat it that way. But the only way we will be able to keep it safe is if we place it in the hands of the King. The king who writes beautiful stories for his princesses. Fairy tales don't just exist in books or movies. They are written in YOUR book. He writes them for YOU.

I know some of us aren't called to marriage, and i know that it can be deeply disappointing to some who feel their dreams of always wanting a husband being crushed. But i have hope for you beautiful girls <3 God desires to be your prince charming. He can fulfill the desires of our hearts more than any earthly guy can. He understands us more than any guy ( even my future husband) will.  He created your heart, and he will always be there to fill your heart.  I think staying single is just as special as getting married, or having a future darling out there somewhere. You get to spend your whole life fully focused on the King of your heart. The king who designed you.  You were specifically designed to be the perfect duo. Working together for his kingdom.  If he has indeed revealed to you that you are to remain single, he will give you the peace, satisfaction, and specifically, fulfillment that you need.  You are his Bride, his beloved, his chosen one, his love, and his princess. Just because there may not be an earthly prince written into your story, doesn't mean he won't be your prince charming who sweeps you off your feet, who washed away your tears when you are sad, or who holds you in his arms when you need comfort. He will place contentment in your heart, and a peace that passes all understanding.


I know these years of waiting can be so hard, frustrating, or discouraging.
But these years of waiting are all about falling head after heels in love with him. I know i don't want to waste any single second wishing these years away to have my earthly future husband, when i can have my true love right now. I know when i meet my future darling, i want to be absolutely in love with God first.  I want him to take first place in my heart.
so ladies, let's encourage each other. Let's remain faithful to our future darlings right now, even if they are in our lives right now or not. Whether we already know who they are, or not.
Let's protect and guard our hearts. After all our hearts belong to a Godly man who will treasure it. Don't we want it in one piece just for him?




God has the very best for us, he's raising nights, he's raising princes, and he's raising future husbands.
He's growing them into men after God's own heart. 
He's molding their hearts, just for us.

Now let's allow God to mold our hearts for them. Let's start loving our future husbands now.
Let's pray for them, write for them, and most of all place them in the hands of God.

{Sincerely,
his princess,
Katherine Rose}
