Giving it one more try!

This blogging thing is harder than people make it look! I've now started and quickly abandoned three blogs in the last year or so, reasoning with myself each time that my life is simply not interesting enough to write about everyday. But you know what?

I have a lot to say. I just have to find a way to organize it in a way that does not ramble (and it still may on occasion) and find the discipline to finally stick with it. God seems to really be pulling at me on this particular thing, which makes me think a record of this portion of my life could really turn out to be important, even if only for me and mine.

So, a little about me (again!)

The name of this blog comes from a nickname my husband, Dallas, gave me when we were dating. He has literally hundreds of nicknames for me--I started writing them down in 2007 right after we met--but "prophetic princess" always made me feel the best. At the time, I really didn't view myself as the daughter of the King of Kings--more as a prodigal child who was afraid of her father. It took someone like Dallas to teach me the way God viewed me and therefore how I should view myself. This meant that not only am I a highly favored PRINCESS but that my Father can work prophetically through me because I am worthy of being used to advance His kingdom. Believe me, in the three years since my husband started calling me a princess, I have fully taken on that mantle as a description of who I truly am.

Because of some things I have experienced, I realize just how many teenage girls in this world have no idea who they are or how much they are prized by the One who created them. I feel like as a daughter of the King, I have to act as an ambassador and show those girls what is inside them, no matter how deeply it is buried.

Ok, just about done for my first post. And yes, I rambled...
