I have a friend who is a tremendously talented woman. She is an amazing wife, mother, teacher, and writer. The stories she writes are incredibly inspiring and I know with all my heart that she will be famous author someday. Several weeks ago she posed this question to the readers of her blog (http://katieganshert.blogspot.com): If you could make one fairytale or fable come true with yourself in it, which would you pick?
It’s difficult for me to answer this question. You would think in my situation I would no longer believe in fairy tales, but this isn’t the case. My husband wasn’t my knight in shining armor or my prince on a white horse, but he did help shape the person I am today. I refuse to stay jaded forever; this isn’t to say I’m not going to have major trust issues to overcome, but I am a romantic at heart. My fairy tale is waiting. I know there is a wonderful man out there whom God has chosen for me. Someday we will meet and fall in love and have our happily ever after ending.

Thanks for the kind words! Your encouragement means the world!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of my knight and shining armor, funnily enough, I don't think of my husband. Although I love him immensely, I also know he's human. He makes mistakes. I make mistakes. He can take me for granted and I can take him for granted. It's the reality of marriage, which is hardly as romantic as we hope it might be. My husband is my husband, a man I choose to love and share my life with.
My knight and shining armor is Jesus. It's impossible for my husband to love me like I need to be loved. It's Jesus who rescues me. It's Jesus who comes sweeping in on his white horse, victorious, reaching out his hand to draw me near and call me beloved.
I am confident your dreams will come true. You will meet another man and fall in love and get married. Just don't forget who it is riding the white horse.
Have a happy weekend friend,
