Inside Every Woman


Inside every woman is an adult and a child.
They need to get to know each other.

 
 
Can you even remember being a little girl and what is was like?
At a recent talk given by Gail Kittleson, she quoted the above....
 
 Inside every woman is an adult and a child.
They need to get to know each other.
 
We often get so busy with our own family, working, and trying to survive, that we lose ourselves. We become an extension of others and and their needs and forget who we really are, our potential, and as we grow older--who we really were.
 
Does it matter?
Something to think about:


We viewed responsibility with enthusiasm....



We often thought work was fun?


 


We just didn't just "feed" the chickens, we played with the chickens...
and sometimes, their eggs...
 


 


We were proud of what we had (usually what Mom made)....
 








 



.... and looked forward to our birthdays!
(When's the last time you did that?)
 
We acted spontaneouly...
We found JOY in every day things...
We worried less...
We felt connected to nature and animals...
We let things happen--rather than tried to make things happen...
 
 
As a retired woman, now a grandmother, I aim to try to take time to breathe, take time to play, take time to be the unique person God created me to be without fear of what others may think or want me to do. And, I want to remember what it was like to be a little girl. Because, she is still a part of me.
 
Know that the Lord is God!
It is He who made us
and we are His;
we are His people and the sheep
of His pasture.
Psalms 100:3
 
 
Fear not for I have redemmed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
        Isaiah 43: 1
 


 
Think about the "little girl" you were...
The little girl who is still inside you....
And what it means for you today..
And give praise to the God of the universe who loves you with incredible love.
