Look at that face. If I could tell that little girl anything I would tell her to always believe in herself. I would tell her that things will get tough, but she'll be OK. I would tell her that she's beautiful (inside and out). She's creative and fun. I would tell her to follow her dreams, and that she can be anything she wants to be.
This is my favorite picture of me from my childhood. I don't have many pictures, but the ones I do have-I cherish. I just love looking back. I think about if I knew then what I know now, what would I do differently? There are a bunch of things I would do differently, but there are more that I wouldn't change for anything. My past is my past and many of the things that happened and that I did led to who and where I am today. Is my life perfect? Not by any means, but am I happy. I sure am.
Later!

Hi Camille~
Okay. Starbucks and me and God. Well, I brought my Bible to do a little study about 'growth', and I just was hopping to get some thoughts and maybe a simple outline pulled together for my upcoming speaking event. Yet, at every turn, God had so much for me to see and hear. A couple of times I looked up the 'wrong' verse...and yet the words that I read were exactly what I needed to here from God in regards to other situations going on in my life. They were so clearly meant for me to 'stumble across', that I knew it could only be because God was telling me things. I should have been so tired and crabby and just barely keeping any thoughts together, and instead I kept getting more excited about what I was reading and learning that I could hardly stop myself after an hour of Bible reading. It was definitely a time of renewel and I felt the unmistakable presence of God. I hope that answers some of your questions. I think God longs to meet us more often than we let Him in our lives. I'm learning to watch and listen as closely as I can...because He's always there. We just have to have open hearts and spirits toward His presence. My best to you on your life journey. I so love Cathy Zielske's face in that picture with you...I may have said that before. Cute!
