Princess

April 24, 2013

So for those of you who don't know me, I'm more on the creative side on life. Not the creative where I come up with totally out-of-the-box ideas but more of the fairy tales kinda thing.

I've been studying a lot the past few weeks, and it's been craaazzzy.  So what am I doing right now? Oh uh here's a shocker, still studying :/ The stress of college.  So through it all I thought I deserved a break by watching a movie on Netflix  I ended up watching this movie called Princess, which is actually pretty old. Well, if you call 2008 old.

For those of you who are actually interested, which i'm sure is EVERYONE ;) the movie is about this chic who lives in this castle right outside of this city. And she has this secret, and of course no story would be cool without some romance. So this girl meets this guy at a charity ball and she tells him that he is the "searcher" and is meant to help her. So the movie is about this dude trying to figure out what the heck a searcher is and he ends up falling for this chic. Then more stuff happens..but yea. :D Oh she's also a healer of mythological creatures, but that's not important. ;)

ANYWAY, watching the movie made me think about some things. The first thing it made me think of was a conversation I had with my cousin Jenifer a long time ago, like uber long, like years long! So we were just chilling, not really sure how this came up, but she was like hey, did you know that you are a princess? And me, lover of all Disney princess movies, was like WHA?! How exactly did that happen? Is my family hiding something from me that I really should know?? And she was like no,  you know this already, just haven't realized it. So of course I had to ask her to broaden her statement.

She said, see, we serve a God right? Jesus, and God is King of Kings, like He is it. The King. And it's written in the Bible that He is our heavenly father, and we are His children...soooooo, if God=our Heavenly Father, and we=His children, AND God=King, then we are princes and princesses! And that's when it all clicked.

I had never thought about it that way at all! All my childhood I've watched every Disney princess movie, and wished with all my heart that I could be a princess too, not knowing all along that I was one!

And yes, I realized all this from watching a movie about a princess. It's funny cause after I watched this movie and got excited about thinking about this conversation with my cousin, I texted a friend tell him if he knew I was a princess, and he commented about my castle.

My castle, I have one. It's amazing. It has golden roads, and pearly gates, and my daddy lives there. Both of them. :D

I can't be any more thankful of being bestowed the honor of being a princess, but it's more than that. We aren't made to be a prince and princess because of our birth or anything, we are made a prince and princess by being given the honor and privilege. And along with this honor and privilege, we have to act that way too.

The movie talked about how a princess is usually frail and scared at times, but when tested they have the strongest of hearts.  dang. I've been tested so many times, and I know that I always will, but just knowing that I'm a princess and I belong to the King of kings, I can't help but smile at the fact that I've been called with a purpose. I wasn't given this gift to waste it away, but to use it in all ways to bring glory to my King.

We are made royal so that we can reflect the wonder and good of our Kingdom. Our Kingdom that is not only for us, but for all those you earnestly believe like you and I, so that we may one day be reunited with Him and ALL the princes and princesses that have gone on before to dwell in the greatest castle I know.  

How can I not smile knowing I am a princess, that I am a daughter of a living and majestic King? :D
