Deep thought
I was reading for English, and listening to the song "Remember Me" by Mark Schultz and I began to contemplate just how beautiful life is--how wonderful it is to recall the innocence of childhood, reflecting back on my own face as a little girl that loved to sing, and to dance, and read, and swing on her tire swing, and paint...the mystery a child. How wonderful it was to be at my grandparent's home in Riverdale, Georgia. I was an outgoing little girl that loved to sing and make people laugh. I used to squeeze in between a window and a couch to read for hours, and I loved to sit in the florida room and paint. I climbed trees and looked forward to Christmas, basking in my mom's cooking and the wonderful decorations. I loved our annual adventure to cut down our own tree.
Then I began to grow up. And even through all the difficulties and struggles and changes, how beautiful it all is turning out to be. The Lord has begun to renew the heart of that same little girl. He made that heart, and has now purified and cleaned that heart. The beauty of the hearts of children is not lost with adulthood, but simply needs to be refreshed and revived, and brought to life! What a joy to be restored to the innocence of a child, and to rest in our Father's arms. I want to live my life as a child standing on her father's shoes while they dance, letting my hair swirl in the breeze...
God gave me a glimpse of what it's about today.
