the verse.

when i think of what i would leave
when i think of what i would have the ones who know me say of me,
i'm learning that it comes down to simple phrases -- the words themselves are simple. making them true is another thought entirely...

the woman i want to be

she shows mercy with a confidence that makes people turn a head. how can she be a door mat without being a door mat?
she shows grace when guilt is more than evident.
she actively seeks reconciliation with the ones who wound her deeply.
she is transparent.
her eyes speak of her compassion and grace before her anger.
she knows her weaknesses well.
she sharpens iron.

she has been with Jesus.
