Say won't you Say

A Delicate Flower~Lovely and Captivating

" When I have a brand new hair due, with my eyelashes all in curls, I float as the clouds of air due, I Enjoy Being a Girl! I'm strictly a female, Female and I my future I hope will be, in the home of a free male, who will enjoying being a guy, having a girl like me! I Enjoy Being a Girl!"~Broadway (also the song in the new Gap commercials with Sarah Jessica Parker, just so you get the tune in your head!)

John Eldridge claims that all girls long in the depths of hearts and souls to be considered lovely and captivating. Wise man, that Eldridge. I think part of what differenciates us as women is our ability to feel a multitude of emotions all at the same time, and to know that we have the freedom to be honest about them. I made the comment last night that I am a "sensitive and delicate flower", I stand by this. I truly believe that all girls are sensitive in their own right ( Every girl I've ever known anyways) and therefore need guys who will understand and respect this about them. The Lord made us this way, and although it's not always fun it's something that I have learned to love and accept about myself. The Lord says that we are precious, and worth gentle consideration and tender love and care~just as the delicate flower. Not saying that guys should walk on egg-shells, or sensor themselves in order to appease the sensitive needs of girls all the times, but just being aware of this truth about girls and understanding why we act and react the way that we do, and that its perfectly normal. I love being a girly girl and wouldn't change it for the world. I know that someday I will better understand why I am exactly the way that I am, when I can see it working together to compliment and to be complimented by someone else. But for now, I am embracing the Delicate Flower in hopes of being considered Lovely and Captivating, and knowing that my Jesus already sees me as this.
