"A girl's heart should be so wrapped up in God that a guy has to seek him to find her"

So I've learned a lot in my life and those teachings have definitely come in handy throughout the week. I've learned that no guy can ever pressure me into doing things I don't want to do. I have learned that I can say no with confidence and not guilt. I've learned that no guy will ever treat me wrong like my daddy did when he was with my mom. I've learned that a guy can never change the decisions I make for my life. I have learned that I need to find a guy who not only respects me, but himself as well. I have learned that I need to focus on my life and what is best for me above all things. I have learned that no one can tell me what to do, where to go, or how to live my life. I have learned that God does so many things for a reason. He brought me this so called boy to me to test my decisions and my beliefs, and God has truly showed me so much this week. He has showed me that I can do anything as long as I allow Him to be right next to me every step of the way. I have learned that I can respect myself and have enough dignity for myself. I have learned that the ONLY guy who can ever break my heart is my daddy because he will always come back and I can never be mad at him. I love my daddy and all of the mistakes he has made. HE is the one who has taught me to NEVER date or even marry a guy who treats me the way he treated my mom. My dad owns up to his mistakes and he learns from them even if I don't agree with that on every situation. My mom has taught me how to be strong and how to make the decisions I have made and will make in the future. My grandma and my aunt have taught me how to have respect for myself and have enough dignity for myself. My sister has taught me how to become a happy person by the good decisions I make for myself. She has taught me to wait for that guy who truly loves me for me. My sister has done that and I must say my new brother will be the BEST husband to her and I love him to death because he has respect for himself and my sister! And then there's Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Moore! These ladies are just amazing! It's great to have family to teach you so many things throughout your life and I'm thankful to have that kind of family, but it's awesome to have 2 women outside of my family who care about me, love me, and who teach me so many things about life. Mrs. Ray, you were SO right when you said, "the only thing boys want are THESE and THIS!" You 2 women crack me up and yall have taught me so many things about life and about the things I've been through and how to stay strong. You 2 women will always be in my heart and EVERYTHING yall have taught me will go with me forever and it will help me get through every decision I make. I can truly feel God on my heart everyday, helping me make decisions and testing those decisions by throwing obstacles my way and I'm so glad I'm a strong enough person to stand my ground and not back down from the decisions I make, the goals I shoot for, and the beliefs that I truly believe in!
