Classy girls stand TALL, not cower.

Hello Classy Girls! I wanted to write this because a TON of you (boys too) have been asking me what's going on. And I wanted to finally tell you guys what has been going down in my life. Now, I've seen posts on facebook and posting on facebook about my father...but here's what's up. And PLEASE again, don't give him my contact information. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU HAVE A TEMPER OR KNOW WHERE MY FATHER LIVES, CLICK OFF THIS PAGE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S GONNA PISS YOU OFF. My father abused me sexually when I was younger. And I know that he's back in Michigan, and at first that idea scared the snot out of me. I hadn't told my mom yet, and she was really weirded out at the fact that I was so scared that my dad was back in town. Until I told her. Let me tell you, it's been a major healing process over the past few days. God has really done a work in my life and hers and I just wanted you all to know that since I'm a CLASSY girl, I will STAND TALL through all of this. I used to want to be a victim, but I learned today that I am no longer a victim. I am a SURVIVOR. I feel like someone needs to hear this, which is why I'm writing this. God loves you. I've said this numerous times on facebook. His love is so mighty and strong. He loves you the most, and no one can say that about you. NO ONE. He is such a gracious and mighty God. And if you feel like you can't go to him, you can. He's waiting for you with open arms. Ready to say what he said to me the other day: "Stand tall young one, time for redemption will be soon." If you're a victim of sexual assault, there are people there to help you. I encourage you to tell someone as soon as you possibly can. It's not your fault. NOTHING is your fault. You shouldn't feel ashamed. The rape crisis hotline is ALWAYS open, and let me tell you, those people really know how to minister. Their website is www.rapecrisis.com Classy girls STAND TALL. If you need help standing tall, just email me. I'm here. Thanks everyone for reading. You need to know I'm doing well. I don't want or need to play the victim anymore. Please don't feel sorry for me. Until next time. --Heavan

Classy Girls: Daddy Issues and what God has to say about them.

Hey Classy Girls! I hope everyone has been doing well. I myself have not been. Today was a hard day for me, as I dealt with some daddy issues that have been brewing in my system for quite some time. Let me tell you the story really quick. Well, about two years ago, my parents split up. My dad moved to Tennessee, and my mom stayed here. My dad suddenly stopped calling, texting, writing me all of a sudden, and while he hasn't always been the greatest dad in the entire world, I looked forward to hearing from him because I missed him. Fast forward to a couple of days ago, when I got a letter saying he had a brand new family who loved him and adored him--including a brand new stepdaughter named Keely. Now, I've always been a daddy's girl. Like I said, he's never really been the dad I needed him too, but he's mine. And I've always cherished that. However, when he didn't make the effort to save his marriage and the relationship with his children I started to hate him. It felt like I wasn't really important enough to him. And truth: I wasn't. Today, it really got to me. I'm not sure why, but I suddenly felt like I wasn't important enough for anything or anyone. I quickly called up the classiest girl I knew (mommy) and asked her to come home from what she was doing and talk. And while she kept asking me what was wrong, I couldn't find the heart to tell her: Until she made a remark that she saw I got a letter from dad that didn't make me so happy. So I told her. And now here I am writing about my shitty day. Anywho, I got a lot of advice from everyone today, and especially my God. My God is a good man who is jealous and angry God. He loves me for who I am, and even though I don't have an earthly daddy, I have a heavenly daddy. And He's got a love bigger than any human could ever give to me. (Thanks to the other classiest lady I know, period fairy blogger, Jessie Prately--SOON TO BE MULLINS! :) ) Classy girls, God loves you. He knows what you want to do with your life and he wants to be the most supportive, amazing, wonderful and loving father--only if you let him. And let me tell you, it's very classy to let God be your dad. ;) Believe me I've been there. That's all I have to write today. Check out our Twitter, @classygirlsblog <3 Keep it classy.
