Princess Lady


Once upon a time, in the quietness of her bedroom surrounded by her stuffed animals & webkinz, colorful bed linens, pillows and posters of Hannah Montana, sat a Princess. Seasonally she would celebrate changes about her: the loss of teeth, increase in height, intellectual accomplishments, sports victories and new High School musical dance moves. One day as she looked at herself in the mirror she noticed her body changing in numerous ways and the thoughts of her image began to change too. She knew she was nearing the age of becoming a Princess Lady. She wondered if today would be her day of celebration. All the Princesses at the schoolyard would gather together, some curious who or if any had received the honor of ladyship while others still youthful/childlike in thoughts and actions would continue playing with no curiosity at all. The Princess enjoyed her youthful manner thus far, each night she would pray thanking God for creating her as a princess and for the perfect time to receive her ladyship.

The following day just after waking up, her Ladyship arrived…she became a Princess Lady. The Princess ran to find her Queen Mother to tell her of her ladyship. In the gathering room with Princesses siblings the Queen was folding the laundry. The Princess bellowed out as she ran into the room, “I’ve received my ladyship. I’ve received my ladyship. This is the day the Lord has chosen for me to become a Princess Lady”. The Queen arose to give her now Princess Lady a warm congratulatory hug and kiss, “We must celebrate this evening since the Lord must know you are physically, mentally and spiritually ready to become a Princess Lady”.

The table was set with the honoree at the head of the table. On her plate was a beautiful gift box. Below the gift box were two ribbons of her favorite color. When she opened the box her photo was inside. “You sit here Princess Lady”, said the Queen. The family gathered around the table to honor, Princess Lady. “What is the box for”, asked Princess Lady? The Queen began explaining, “The picture inside reflects this day, the day the Lord chose for you to become a Princess Lady. The box represents your pure body, reflective in the image of God. The ribbons are your arms and legs to tie tightly around your body. With the ribbons tied tightly you are a treasured gift. You are to protect your gift, keeping it pure. Your Gift is the most valuable treasure only you will be able to give away. Although you could be tempted to share your gift before it’s time, it is the Lords choice for you to present your gift to the mate the Lord chooses for you. This mate will be one you are equally yoked with. He is preparing this mate for you right now to love and honor you. On the day you chose to marry before God and Man, you will be able to untie the ribbons and present your most precious gift to your husband.

Your body will continue to grow and change; your heart will be more open to love therefore your soul must stay focused on God. The day the Lord formed you he created a perfect plan for you. He is entrusting you today with the gift of ladyship, to grow as a lady of the Lord using your gifts and talents for his glory.

Your body has been changing and will continue to change through the years. As your body continues to transform from a girl to a woman; you will notice changes in the private ladyship parts, hips & legs, waist and even your facial features. None of us are completely alike; God has made us all unique yet in his image. While your body is changing so are your emotions, intellect and spirit. He has given you a mind to be full of knowledge and treasures. Your everyday activities will be stored in your treasure box called a memory bank. Therefore be wise in your decisions of activities, conversation and relationship, for this too helps mold us in become who we are.

Remember throughout your lifetime, “I thank you, High god – you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! Psalm 139:14
