Are You Worth Investing In?

"You are worth investing in, sweet sister. You are a daughter of the King, A HOLY PRINCESS, a woman with a purpose in this world and a calling on your life. YOU ARE OF INFINITE VALUE and no one can take your place."- Holley Gerth

      I found this quote on my daily calendar last week and it really hit at a soft spot for me. I hate to admit it but sometimes I get so wrapped up in wanting to mean something to someone that I go looking for that someone, when really that someone should be looking for me. My future husband/man of my dreams should be looking for me, not the other way around. I am worth investing in for that one special person. That special person as to try and get me to talk. He has to ask questions that really matter and that are really deep. 
       People say that I am quite and shy, which is true but that is because I like to have deep talks with anyone and everyone. I don't like the small talk at all. I want to get to know a person deep and see how I can help with out if any way. I truly believe that while you invest in someone, whether friend or special person, it shows that you really do care about them. It shows that you care enough to dig pass all their baggage and really get to know them. 
        For girls and women of any age, we are a daughter of the King and A HOLY PRINCESS. We are far worth more then we give ourselves credit for most of the time. We are princesses that are to be given away, not taken away. We deserve those man who will treat us right even if it does take years to find them, even though they might be near. We want a "perfect" prince that God is also working on to make into a Godly husband and even sometimes father. In God's time, He will bring us together if you were meant to marry. Yet if you weren't meant to marry that is the best of them all because then you can serve your Heavenly Father and King however He sees fit. 
         The part of this quote that I like the best is this part: "a woman with a purpose in this world and a calling on your life. YOU ARE OF INFINITE VALUE and no one can take your place." That just speaks to my heart as a single women right now. It reminds me that I don't need a man to have a purpose or calling on my own life. I can have those right now where I am and sometimes even better then if I was married. Being single is of infinite value and no one can take your place because you do different things when you are married. You have to follow two people really but when you are single you are following the One. 
          Married women, you have an important purpose and calling on your life too and no one can take your place. You might have children that you have to lead to the Lord. God called you to be that leader/keeper of the house. You have to keep everything in order so that the house would be a home full of love, peace, hope, and laughter. You might have to plan everything for everyday and that is not easy. You have to be that prayer warrior when your children are older and they won't listen to you at all. 
         I feel as women, whether single or married, we all have our special place and purpose in this world. We just have to remember that God made us for that certain thing, time, or place and He will use us there in His Way and then if it is His Will, He will move us on somewhere else. No matter where you are in life or what stage of life you are in, always remember: "You are worth investing in, sweet sister!" If you are married you might have to remind your husbands about that a few times so they can get the hang of what you are saying. Just saying. :)
