Sometimes the Princess struggles with feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt. I always try to encourage her, to let her know how beautiful she is and that she is loved and more than enough. On the platform previously called Twitter, I told her time and time again who she is:
Here's Princess Lauren Daigle - You Say
Readers of this blog know I love my Gospel Girls, the earliest contributors to what we now celebrate as Princess artistry here. Often using their God-given gifts in the face of bizarre adversity and struggle, they choose to love in the midst of chaos. They choose to believe in the midst of cynicism. They choose to take the right path in a world where unfortunately the wrong one often seems to represent the path of least resistance.
They came from that incredible time when each week, either on my blog or on Twitter, a new lovely lady would play the part of the Princess, having that tiara sit on her pretty head for a week. They fought for love. The fought for truth. They helped me in my quest to locate my future wife.
Back in those days, we even chose to believe one of them could actually be my future wife. We continue to honor their legacy by carrying on that tradition, even to this day.
Who wants to wear the tiara tonight? Here's Princess Ledger.
What a great morning it was in America (and elsewhere, for that matter) when Princess Carrie Underwood debuted her classic "See You Again" video on a nationally televised morning show here in the States. We never like to see her heart breaking or hurting in any way, but she does such a fantastic job of sharing the Princess love in her pretty white dress.
I was able to catch her live in San Antonio at the venue previously called the AT&T Center. Whose show will John be at next? Y'all decide.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present my sweetheart, Princess Incredible, singing a song of never-ending devotion live on stage in London, England. And you get a front row seat.
I think a city as steeped in the performing arts as Houston will appreciate the clarion call of European artist Eivør. She, like most of the planet she lives on, may be growing inceasingly tired of waiting. Maybe it's time to let it come?
I imagine the flight that brings an end to their confusion. An end to their discouragement. I look forward to someday carry on that wonderful tradition that I've tried to build here that includes London, Perth and Rome. Where does John Tyler go next?
Y'all decide.
Those watching this blog (or my previous blog) over the years might wonder how long our love has endured. My eyes first saw her beauty more years ago than most of you would believe at this point, but the Princess has come up with a pretty good round number in this song that certainly illustrates how long it's felt at times.
Happy Valentine's Day, angel. Just know that I'm thinking about you tonight. Looking forward to that day...
This night was my 10th Stryper show since discovering the band as a freshman at La Porte High School. Before this evening, I saw them twice on Soldiers Under Command (Houston and Pasadena), once on To Hell with the Devil, once on In God We Trust, twice on the reunion tour (Houston and Orlando), once on Reborn, once on Fallen, once on GDE, and then this increbile night in San Antonio. Since that night, I've seen them again in San Antonio on the Final Battle Tour.
Tonight we're remembering that wonderful evening in San Antonio. Are you warriors ever coming through Houston again?
