Sigh....another birthday passed, another year older....and I'm not feeling the same panic that I felt a few years ago on another birthday. I feel like something has started to change in me. Today's birthday wasn't a scary experience because I felt surrounded by the love of my family and friends and felt God's promise written deep in my heart. I don't have to worry about getting another year older or feeling like my time to get married is running out, because God's plans and timing are perfect. :)

This Valentine's Day has been different than other Valentine's Days. I think because rather than giving into the sad feelings of being single that tried to creep up me several times today, I instead focused on what God is going to do in my life one day when He brings my spouse to me. Whenever I saw two lovers walking arm in arm, rather than getting all mopey like I usually do, I instead imagined that that would be me and my own husband someday (because that is a part of the plan that I believe that God has for my life).

I purchased the soundtrack to the movie Enchanted (one of my fave movies--it's such a "me" movie, lol). I especially liked the lyrics to one of the songs by Carrie Underwood called, "Ever Ever After."

I hope that you will all be as blessed as I was when I read the lyrics--to not be afraid to dream about marriage because I believe that God puts that beautiful desire into each of our hearts.

Enjoy,

Alicia

"EVER EVER AFTER" (Record version)

By: Carrie Underwood

Ever ever after...

Storybook endings

Fairy tales coming true

Deep down inside

We want to believe they still do.

In our secretest heart

It's our favorite part of the story.

Let's just admit

We all want to make it to

Ever ever after.

If we just don't get in our own way

Ever ever

It may only be a wish away...

Start a new fashion

Wear your heart on your sleeve.

Sometimes you reach what's realest

By making believe.

Unafriad, unashamed,

There is joy to be claimed in this world.

You even might wind up

Being glad to be you.

Ever ever after

Though the world will tell you

It's not smart.

Ever ever after

The world can be yours

If you let your heart

Believe in ever after....

And no wonder your heart

Feels it's flying

Your head feels it's spinning.

Each happy ending's

A brand new beginning.

Let yourself be enchanted

You just might break through

To ever ever after.

Forever could even start today.

Ever ever after

Maybe it's just one wish away.

Your ever ever after

(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)

Forever ever after."

I read this verse that greatly encouraged me and I wanted to share the verse with all of you. It spoke to me deeply and resonated in my heart about looking to the Lord expectantly for all that He is going to do as far as Christian marriage goes and His working out the situation for me to meet my future husband one day. I'm not sure if it's out of context or not, but it spoke to me about my singleness situation and I hope that it will speak to you all too.

Okay, so to the verse! :)

It's Habakkuk 2:3 (NCV). It says:

"It is not yet time for the message to come true, but that time is coming soon;
the message will come true.
It may seem like a long time, but be patient and wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be delayed."

Be blessed! :)

I saw this on youtube the other day and it had me crying like a baby! :) The people have titled it, "The World's Best Proposal"--it's sooo cute! (Especially both of their reactions after she says yes). And what better place than in front of the Castle at Disneyland! After I found this video, I saved it as one of my favorites because it's soo darn cute!!

Enjoy!

I was really encouraged by this article that I read in a Today's Christian Woman magazine from the year 2000. It was written by Stephen Arterburn about what "Mr. Right" looks like. It is some really good advice. :) I read the list almost every single day. :) I list it here for educational/learning purposes and to encourage you.

Be blessed!
