The Stuff Little Girls Are Made Of...

This picture painted by Jim Warren really spoke to my heart when I saw it on his website which is http://www.jimwarren.com/ To paraphrase, he talks about the beautiful and special light that little girls bring to the world. I really appreciated that because it is so true. What is even more true is that while we feel we were stripped of our light by our abuse, our heavenly Daddy knows that it is still there, deep inside of us. He wants to help us find our little girl again and let her light shine into this world that so desperately needs it. Let us take heart and know that by slowly opening up to Him, we will have more beauty in our lives and give more to others as well.

The Lord Continues To Move....

I just wanted to briefly share that as a result of the radio interview, I received my first request to come and share my testimony with a small group of women! I have known that the book isn't really the center focus but rather is to be a springboard for me to be able to share hope with so many other women coming from abuse like me. So this engagement can be an open door to more speaking! I would appreciate your prayers that I will be in the center of the Lord's will in this regard and that He would send more opportunities my way.

Just a parting thought to ponder throughout your day today:

     "The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he understands how weak we are; he knows we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. But the love of the LORD remains forever with those who fear him." Psalm 104: 13-15, 17

Though being "only dust" He loves me, He loves you and that love is as constant as time itself. NEVER doubt it, no matter what the enemy whispers in your ear!
