Not so much me at this age. Maybe that's why I love it so much when our girls demonstrate a sweet but edgy confidence. It can mean a world of difference in how one navigates the world.
And the world needs wise navigation. It did then. It does now. Life can be so tricky sometimes, so to learn early that you were created for a purpose, that you have a light inside of you that only you
can shine, that there is darkness to vanquish, and you've been given everything you need to make a difference, makes all the difference.
But only if you're not trying to do any of that on your own. I’m so not into
that. It’s not how it works. Some lone-wolf idea, some distortion of
individuation that requires an unrealistic and unhealthy independence.
We need each other, Lukmee and I. We both need this family, and the bigger
Family we to whom we both belong. We
need our Father infusing us with spunk.
All of it. Everything that makes
us uniquely part of the whole big story of God.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine!
