What a Girl Wants, What a Girl Needs...

So I'm a wife, mom, professional, friend...   I'm still just a girl!  

Still a little girl at heart and mind.  The me that I am is still the me that I was and will be.  The boys can't see the precocious tom boy who loved adventure and danger.  My husband still wants the girl in me with the snake head belt and cowboy boots.  My parents see the little me.  What do others see in me?

I still want to be the little girl climbing up on my parents' lap to snuggle and be held, the running wild me riding as fast as the wind, the me with the cowgirl attitude flirting with my husband, living on a wild goose chase and the more wise me.  Can I be them all?  Yes!  That's Me.  That's what I want and need.  To be loved and accepted as ME-  all of those pieces that make me who I am.  My heart's cry is to live honest and free.

And you?  Do you remember who you are?  What do you need?  What do you want in your life right now?  What is your Heart's Cry?

    So true about being a girl. A story shared by a man who is now in his 80's, his mother told him that there was a point in her life that she felt like she reached a certain age on the inside and that never got any older. She was always young on the inside.
    From this side of being a girl - I offered to chime in with girl wisdom as my son and friends were discussing "girls" and I was politely told that I was not a girl I was Mom. Oh well.

    I love that story. That is how I feel too. I have not grown older. When I visit the nursing home and visit with some of these precious ladies- I see that little girl in their eyes!

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...
