My glass house became very fun to look at recently.
The thing people will find is that even when I know for a fact that people are looking at my glass house, I am still me. No show here. Just a girl, making good choices, loving, messing up, laughing at dumb jokes, spending to much time on my cell phone, staring at her left hand a lot. Just me.
Last night there was a group of about 8 girls, probably Jr. High age, standing outside of a class I was trying to get in...some of them I have seen before, a couple were brand new faces, although I'm sure they have been a part of our church for years. They were all so excited about my ring and my story. One more reminder that my glass house is being watched. I pray that each of those girls sees a woman of integrity who makes good choices when it comes to men. If they see that, they may start to believe it's possible. And it is. So many people are convinced otherwise though. To settle for less than God's best. To doubt their own self worth and become entangled with people and situations that are to their detriment. I hope a glimpse into my glass house makes an impression on their lives. The truth of things being that you can remain a woman of integrity living passionately for God and still get your fairy tale ending.

No Rocks here and it is currently my favorite glass house!
Jamie, I thank you for your glass house. You have helped me in more ways than you will ever know. I thought for a long time that I was destined to only keep getting what I had gotten during the last 4 to 5 years of my life. And that I was just going to have to settle for less than what I deserve.
Your words and frank honesty really helped me to realize and see I never have to settle, never have to give up my integrity, morals, values, convictions, and beliefs to have all my dreams come true.
Thank You!!
Life isn't a fairytale, but sometimes bits and pieces of life can feel like a fairytale:)
