YOU ARE A DAUGHTER OF GOD, IN THE SIMILITUDE OF HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN! I hope you don't just know that on the surface, but that you KNOW IT DEEP IN YOUR HEART! And I hope you always remember it! I hope you know that you are literally His child! He loves you and WANTS to bless you! He has blessed you SO MUCH ALREADY! <br /><br />I love you, each one of you, my beautiful daughters. ~Mama<br />Elynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411825093613192914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256851981640479866.post-14627067902633216472015-11-12T18:51:33.458-08:002015-11-12T18:51:33.458-08:00Novels are welcome and appreciated!

I used to NEVER look in the mirror because I wasn't happy with what I saw. Today as I looked I thought about how even with the increasing wrinkles and bumps and under-eye bags, I still think I'm pretty. For me that's a huge accomplishment. In the end, though, whether I thought I was attractive was neither here nor there. I couldn't help thinking that it was no good being pretty if I'm selfish. And so I reflected on who I am and what it is I do. For me, who I am has always been kind of a sum total of what I do every day, often mixed in with a big dose of what I think everyone else thinks of me, which is surely misguided. Who in the world spends all their time thinking about and judging other people? Anyway, I've decided that part of the problem with deciding once and for all who I am is that not only am I always changing, but what I think of myself is always evolving. I think I've decided to accept that for now and just try to be a good person without attaching too many labels (or at least I want to try). I do think I've been kind of selfish of late, though. I don't like that. So I'd better get busy.<br />Also, I think we're related. I've always wanted to be understood, wanted people to know who I was. I think that's why I always end up using too many details in my writing. (Like I'm doing right now.) <br />I'm with you on Dickens. Jeremy and I are doing a first reading of Nicholas Nickelby, and I keep having to stop and laugh as I read aloud because his writing is so funny! He was a genius! I'd forgotten. I read A Christmas Carol and The Chimes years ago and loved them both. The Chimes in particular spoke to me at the time. Anyway, I've vowed to read more Dickens, so here we go.<br />And speaking of reading, have you read Understood Betsy? It's such a great story and kinda of a quick read. I think it might have even been free for Kindle if I remember right. I think you'd like it.<br />Phew! I guess all this philosophizing is brought to you by being pregnant and crocheting while Jeremy is out of town. I tend to build up my need to talk while he's gone. Ha ha! Love you! And sorry for the novel, but Hank's for having the option to write one available. ;)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997884407075211540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256851981640479866.post-79240279973824229992015-11-12T17:53:23.392-08:002015-11-12T17:53:23.392-08:00This is amazing!

It will flow out easily with no seeming uncomfortableness for you or those around you. Love you! Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431825744119154008noreply@blogger.com
