The Lost Princess

“Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” Psalms 103:4

If anyone would have asked me if the topic of being a princess was something I would ever write about, I assure you my answer would have been “no!” I have never been what most would consider the “princess” type. Although I was not a tomboy as a child, I was just as far from being the Cinderella of my family while growing up. I don’t ever recall playing princess, or even wanting to be one. The idea just seemed too far-fetched. I was not the beauty pageant type, as far as being into stylish clothing or makeup. If given a choice between getting dressed up and going to a party or reading a good book – I’d have chosen the book, hands down. I finished high school successfully, but relatively unnoticed by those around me. Even when I got married and tiaras were the fashionable thing to wear, I chose the old fashioned over the face veil.

But one day, while being a good sister and babysitting my 3 nieces, I received a startling revelation that has been changing my life ever since. The girls wanted to watch a movie and chose the animated film Anastasia. The story was based on the rumors of a princess who may have survived an attack on her family and was living somewhere in Russia as an everyday person.
