Babysitting
Water trampoline. Kayaking towards the sunset. Swimming in the river/ pool. Sorbet on the pier. Singing to Taylor Swift with the windows down. Swiffer tag. Cinnamon buns. Sandcastles on the beach…
[Yeah babysitting was pretty much the best idea ever made.]

someday
So someday, there’s gonna be this prince… and he’s gonna sweep me off my feet.
But in the mean time, my feet are planted flat on the ground, and I am contentedly walking along, smiling into the sun and stopping occasionally to smell the flowers.

thought:
When we are broken and surrendered, when we have nothing left of ourselves to offer, when we are finally exhausted by our own futile efforts to patch everything… that’s when God calls us beautiful.

Too many options
You know what it feels like to be that kid sitting in the candy store with a million different candy bars sitting in front of you but you can only choose one? When I was little, it used to take me forever to decide. Sometimes, Id even make up my mind, get to the counter, and then run back and change it. I could never make up my mind. I wanted to make the right choice and not wish I had made...

don’t swoon at the model who...

You Are Beautiful
“Do I look pretty?”
I smiled and looked down at little Chloe as she twirled around the room in her “pretty girl dress” all dolled up in ribbons, bows, and beaded necklaces with the most precious smile of delight on her face.
“Of course you do, Sweetie.”
Then I stopped and realized: This innocent question of but a two-year-old echoes the cries of every girl’s heart, young or old - “Am I...
