God's Princess

As I sit looking through my journal I started on April 8, 2026, I see clearly how God started His plan for me.

First, I would like to just introduce myself. My name is Christie and as of today, July 1, 2026, I am a new creation made fully by Christ and the good Lord above. My transformation began to unfold on May 20, 2026, the day after my 53rd birthday. I can only say, I am in awe of how God chooses to work in our lives and my prayer is that God continues to work in me and through me with this blog spot. I must admit that this is not my own will. I am stepping out of my comfort zone and following God blindly by starting this site. It is something I have never attempted before but He has impressed upon my heart very persistently that this is His will. So, I thank you first and foremost for stopping by and I pray God sees fit to impress upon your heart what He desires you to understand and learn from me.

I was given the title "Princess" in 2022. It strikes me as funny that God chose to use "God's Princess" for the name of this site. In 2022, I was far away from being "God's Princess". I was known as "Princess" for reasons I can only speculate on. I never actually took the time to ask anyone why they called me that. It was a nickname I was given by someone close to me at the time and it just stuck with everyone. Now, God provided "God's Princess" for me through a series of what I refer to as "very fortunate, unfortunate events" that I hope to discuss using this blog section of the site.

In 2022, "Princess" was far from what I was behaving like. I had left my husband of twenty-seven years and was on my own for the first time in thirty years. The divorce moved quickly, but not fast enough for me because I was ready to move on and start over. I had devoted my life completely to my husband, children, and grandchildren and I wanted "me time." I felt I had earned it and deserved it. Selfish and entitled would have been better ways of describing me than "Princess". I may, if it is God's will, discuss that time in my life later in the future. There are definitely many lessons to be learned from my past. I'm letting Jesus take the wheel and I'm still unsure where this road is going. 

I have weathered many storms in my life, but honestly, we all have. The one constant through all those storms was God. I was somewhat oblivious to that at times, but it isn't hard to look back and see it was His strength that survived those storms, not my own. That isn't to say I was never a believer in God. I have been a lifelong Christian. I just didn't always give credit where credit was due. My faith was fleeting and weak. I mostly credited my own strength for making it through all the trials and tribulations God was "throwing" my way. I couldn't see that God doesn't "put us through" anything. It is my belief that God "allows" us trials and tribulations to teach us not harm us. I feel it is so we realize, or learn, to rely on His strength and will and not our own. Seems like a simple concept, but how many of us really get it or actually do it?  I know I was guilty of relying on myself. That all changed when my body literally began choking the life completely out of me. The woman formally known as "Princess" began to die and "God's Princess" began to evolve. 

As with anything new and growing, I am sure I am going to need guidance, encouragement, and teaching along this journey. I feel God not only wants me to share with you my stories, thoughts, and ideas but to listen and learn from others as well. Hopefully whatever God impresses upon me to share, touches your heart the way God needs. My prayer is that maybe He will move you to share thoughts and ideas or experiences of your own with me as well. For now, I'm just going to let God do His thing and follow His direction to the best of my ability so I pray you will bear with me as I allow God to let this sight unfold how He chooses. I have fifty-three years of baggage He could choose to use! It could be a bumpy ride! Hope you choose to come along for that ride.  May God bless each and every one of you,
