When I was younger I liked to write poems and make up children's stories. One of which I illustrated and put on paper for a college course. Another I illustrated and began making copies for my brothers and sisters. Yet I never quite finished it. It takes time to draw. I recently found some of the poems I wrote and the story I began to make for my brother and sisters. I think I want to try and pick that one up again and complete it. Anyway one of my poems was called When I grow up. It illustrated the beauty of being a mom.

I love reading your blogg, you are so wise and uplifting in your posts, you are like a big sister to me, thank you for your inspiration.
Love it!
Very very enlightening! I really enjoyed reading this and looking at the references. The thing I learned in love is that when you are looking for love you will never find it. It is when you put your focus and attention on the Lord that love is coming your way. God has been grooming that person for you just as he as been grooming you for that other person. Don't rush it or search it... for you will not find true love. Only true love can be found in and through the Lord. Let him worry about your mate and you worry about yourself being in the right place with him.
