Make Me a Woman

Dear Father,

Make me a woman who loves you more than I love what others say about me or think of me.

Make me a woman who guards her heart.

Make me a woman who loves You more than I love how I appear to others.

Make me a woman whose heart is pure.

Make me a woman who returns only love.

Make me a woman who grows more and more to care about those around me–

especially those hardest to care about.

Make me a woman who sees with compassionate eyes.

Make me a woman who doesn’t always have to be right.

Make me a woman who loves truth more than popularity.

Make me a woman who chases after Your heart!!!

What is Love?

Someone asked, “What is love” and I wanted to put my response in here:

Love is a many different things; putting the ones you care about most before yourself, knowing that no matter how hard things get for yourself, someone else always has it harder. Sometimes loving someone is respecting their family’s wishes and doing things you might not want to do because you love them. Sometimes it’s waiting all night on that one text message, to see the words, I love you, and knowing that no matter what happens you can have the peace of knowing you’re loved and finally sleep and rest. It can be easy or love can be hard.

Love is doing hard things and sometimes pushing the point of what’s hard and going a little further with it. It’s scary and cozy warm at the same time. It’s going places you don’t want to because the end result is finding your own happiness. It can be having everything or having nothing and finding everything together with that one special person or just finding it within yourself. It’s happy, sad, joyful, painful, it’s your highest high and your lowest low, but it’s love and it’s what we want. Here’s more I’m thinking of today: love can help you grow up and become happy or love can hurt and one becomes sad, lost, and depressed, but would that have ever been love?

Love isn’t limited, there’s no way to know the completeness of love and the beauty of it is that love is never-ending, so there’s always going to be more. What would love be like if there was a completeness to it? Would you really want to know, I wouldn’t. I rely on love being perpetual and knowing that even if one expression of love fails, there’s always another expression of it right around corner. A person can give and show love in many different ways, not only romantic; but also loving your neighbors by helping them out, loving your community by doing what you can to be supportive, just loving people and being a good friend shows love. If you want to know what Noah Webster defines as love, it’s on this link.

Exhilaration

“Go now and live. Experience. Dream. Risk. Close your eyes and jump. Enjoy the freefall. Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose magic over predictability. Choose potential over safety. Wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition. Trust your gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another. Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need. Know when to hold on and when to let go. Love hard and often and without reservation. Seek knowledge. Open yourself to possibility. Keep your heart open, your head high and your spirit free. Embrace your darkness along with your light. Be wrong every once in a while, and don’t be afraid to admit it. Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments. Tell the truth about yourself no matter what the cost. Own your reality without apology. See goodness in the world. Be bold. Be fierce. Be grateful. Be wild, crazy, and gloriously free. Be you. Go now, and live.” ~Jeanette Leblanc

A Woman Waits for Me

They are not one jot less than I am,
They are tann’d in the face by shining suns and blowing winds,
Their flesh has the old divine suppleness and strength,

They know how to swim, row, ride, wrestle, shoot, run, strike,

retreat, advance, resist, defend themselves,
They are ultimate in their own right—they are calm,

clear, well-possess’d of themselves.

-Whitman
