I have spent the spring catching up with the friend in the picture. (this picture will always be A summary of our friendship) This led to sharing about a boy, no need to get curious, that's not the important part. The important part was her response. Her wise, loving, Christ focused response. I found myself going back to the email so often that I eventually took a picture so I could get there more rapidly. As I read her words again tonight, I decided to share her wisdom. If its been so good to me, perhaps your heart could hear it too…?
Be yourself. Wholely and marvelously you. No smokes and mirrors. Not thinking one thing, but believing another. Who will come and meet you in that place will be someone who see's that whole of you, and will chase your attention, and pursue your affection... and he will seek God's hand and favor for the opportunity to love you the way a man is supposed too. Don't get lost in the coolness. Own your journey, surrender your heart... and be, yourself. A woman of God whose heart has already been won, captured, forgiven, restored, and captivated.
