I’m twenty-two-years-old and have had over 53 boyfriends. From the first day I stepped foot into Kindergarten onward I was on the hunt for prince Philip (you know, the one who slayed the dragon and awakened Sleeping beauty with a kiss?). However, I was seeming to find more toads than royal knights.
In tenth grade I thought I finally might be on to something. Chris Weitman was as close to a prince as I could fathom. So I thought.
When he broke my heart after finally becoming my boyfriend for two weeks–on Valentine’s Day–I thought my world was over. With the way my love-life had gone over the years, it looked like I was going to be more of a lone ranger than a princess bride. But then I met Dace.
Dace wasn’t really a Disney style prince. He was…darker than that. Besides the heavy metal he would rock out to, his mysterious tattoos, black ensembles and eyebrow piercing, his history was the darkest part of him. Yet I was too sucked in to let him go. Until Someone intervened.
Little did I know, there really was a Prince Philip out there, but I had to meet a King before he’d come galloping into my life.

amen! (to the Real Prince)
Natasha ,
Thank you for letting God use you in putting your life and advice for singles out there for the world! I’m 21 years old and single.. its been a year since I almost married the wrong person . I am just thankful I finally listened to God and broke it off. Since then God has called me to the prison ministry and I teach the ladies in the prisons when I can. It is amazing how God has helped me in the past year; yes, I have had tough times but I know that God has my prince out there somewhere… I just have to keep my head up and keep going.
Also, I have a question ? I was wanting to know when you got married and how you met your husband?
Thanks
Megan
Thanks so much for your comment, Megan. I’m so glad you were obedient to our Father. He has your best interest at heart. It’ll be three years on September tenth that I’ve been married to Sir Jonathan. I met him in person (we spoke on the phone once and texted a couple days before meeting) on March 4th 2009. Before meeting, I had been fully satisfied and joyful in my singleness for this first time in my life. After I surrendered my heart entirely to Jesus on Feb. 22nd 2009, I had begun to pray shortly after for a prophet to be placed in my path because although I was no longer heart broken, I would get “signs” about two of my exes that led me to think either one of them was possibly “the one.” I met the prophet no more than a week after praying for one, and the first thing he told me after only giving him my name was, “The Spirit of the LORD told me Satan has been confusing you in the area of relationships but God said He’s going to make things clear for you very soon.” Before I left the prophet, he said again, “Very soon.” My sister was in Broward College at the time taking Drama and she began telling me about this boy in her class that she, “felt God wanted me to meet.” I didn’t take it seriously. I was so in love with Jesus, I didn’t care to meet a guy or be in a relationship. My sister was insistent, so me and Jonathan planned to meet at her show on March 19th. But God had other plans. Me and Jon started texting about God (at the time he was very Catholic), so I invited him, my sister, and his brother to my non-denominational church, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. Both of our siblings didn’t show, so the first time me and Jonathan met, we visited Church together. The connection was immediate. We started on a fast track and became bf/gf on March 9th. Four months later, God intervened because we were doing it wrong lol. We were dating, not courting.
Here’s a blog where I share how I knew Jonathan was the man the Father wanted me to marry.
