Faithful. Catholic. 22. College Grad Student. My faith in God has given me the strength to surrender my life to God's plan. This blog is made up of things that help me stay strong in my belief as a Christian while waiting for the guy God has picked out for me. It also includes inspiration from my love for weddings. (Images within this blog are not my work unless otherwise stated.)

First Look
Just be patient. There’s someone out there who will love you exactly the way you are!
(via jesustake-the-wheel)
Do not say that you have chaste minds if you have unchaste eyes, because an unchaste eye is the messenger of an unchaste heart.
— St Augustine (via radioteopoli)

Marriage is not only the beginning of a realtionship but also the end of a life long search for the other half of your soul.
Saint Thomas Aquinas’s definition of love is to will the good of another. That is, not necessarily to will what the other person happens to be willing at the moment, which may even be harmful or destructive, but to will the good as God or the ideal observer might see it. This is true love, which neither deceives nor is deceived.

You don’t NEED a boy!
prayer of: gotta-hank-it
Before His gaze all falsehood melts away. This encounter with Him, as it burns us, transforms and frees us, allowing us to become truly ourselves… His gaze, the touch of His heart heals us through an undeniably painful transformation “as through fire”. But it is a blessed pain, in which the holy power of His love sears through us like a flame, enabling us to become totally ourselves and thus totally of God.
— Pope Benedict XVI (via setthiscaptivefree)
(via iamgeorgianadarcy)
May she who entered the world without stain, obtain for us from her Son the grace to leave this world without fault.
— Padre Pio, Words of Light #256 (via sweptbyhisgrace)
In uniting yourself to God’s will, you take on new life and gather great courage, willingly embracing the cross and kissing His hand even when it chastises you, a hand that reaches out to you in love and has no other intention but your greater spiritual well-being.
— St Paul of the Cross (via catholic-inspiration)
Actions say more than a thousand words. Someone who cares about you, will show you, and put all their effort into making sure that you know they do.
