A Lady In Waiting

Many of us have nicknames or have created one for ourselves, whether its for a twitter, facebook, or instagram -we all have one. For me I call myself "A Lady in Waiting," sounds creative right? This name is more than some creative "social media name" it is something that I have become and has changed my life. I have acquired this name, well it has become who I and how I see myself because of a book that has impacted my life as a teenager  called "Lady In Waiting." As a young teenager walking with Christ I did not understand my identity in Christ and what it meant to be a woman of God. This book has changed my perspective of relationships and how I look at myself. The words, quotes, verses, questions, and discussions has all stuck with me, shaped, and shown me what the Lord sees in me,  a woman and how he wants me to be my best. There are lots of guys that have come way, but I have stood firm on these words and the perfect reminder that "I am a lady in waiting." It has encouraged me to always wait on God's best and to give him my everything. it simply taught me my priorities as a young godly lady, Matthew 6:33 "seek first his kingdom and all will be added unto you,"  what has become my life verse. Although it has been almost 7 years since I've read this book, my life is still being changed by it and there is not an experience that goes by that God has reminded me who I am through this book. Despite my short comings and sometimes I forget who I am, I remember the stories of the incredible women of faith that waited on God and his faithfulness to them. That is why I cherish these words and proud to call myself "A Lady In Waiting."
