Yes, That's Me

Who is this person looking back at me in the miror. She seems nice enough. If you really knew her I think you would realize what a treasure she is. Not because of anything great she says or does, but because she believes whole-heartedly that God loves and accepts you no matter what and so does she. And that kind of love can only come from the fact that she believes that God loves her and accepts her no matter what. If you really knew her you would know that despite all her flaws and silly issues, she really only cares about pleasing the Lord and being "peachy" with all mankind. Can't we all just get along? If you really knew her you would realize that just because she doesn't talk to you doesn't mean she doesn't care. She just isn't great at small talk. She's always thinking about something. If you really knew her you would know how utterly silly she is, how she loves to go on little adventures, loves to play in the rain, loves to revel in her own dorkiness, loves to lay out on the floor and worship Jesus to some powerhouse worship songs, loves her family, loves getting into lives of people of other cultures, loves the sky. If you really knew her, you would know she is never content with mundane, never content with typical, never content with average, never content with comfortable... which is funny that her name means "contented one." If you knew her you would realize how fragile, scarred, and vulnerable she is even when she tries so hard to be strong. The walls she builds to protect herself are not that difficult to get over...there's an unlocked door for anyone who cares to find it. If you knew her you would realize that time spent means more than any words, any touch, any gift, any apology. She may seem distant and aloof; she may not wear her heart on her sleave; she may be hard to read sometimes; but she's got something special and unique. And the only reason I can say this about her is cause Jesus told me so. He told me she is his favorite! And if he think she's worth knowing, than I'm gonna trust Him. He knows what He's talking about. And anyone who doesn't agree, well, they have no idea what they are missing and I pitty them.
