She has prepared for this moment for years. Meet M! As a little girl, she dreamed of leaving youthful fantasies as she hoped the emergence into adulthood would be as wonderful as her imagination told her it would be. Her gifted writing skills have always taken her into worlds not her own. Her make believe characters, often a snap shot of her own hopes and dreams, walk and talk in those worlds in the most magnificent ways. I know because she’s read some of them to me! Their adventures and intrigues, an extension of the vivid mind she has been given to dream, create, and imagine, are a wild summary of every hope tucked deep inside her heart. Her future awaits, and every moment she has spent writing someone else’s script now becomes the blank pages of her own. She looks back in gratitude for every grueling moment spent learning, trying, failing, succeeding and coming out better. A better person, who now faces her blank pages with confidence! She pushes past any reservation of the unknown into the decisions she is making to take one step forward in faith that this is the direction she should go. It is going to be grand! It is going to be glorious! And somehow she will settle into the normal day-by-day that feels anything but, only to realize that it is there, in the quietest moments, the greatness of the mundane, the comfort of the repetition where she will realize that her most glorious calling has already been fulfilled. She is full of love and life! Every breath she takes speaks of her God giving her purpose and filling her to full only because of who He is in her life. That, my dear readers, is the summary of the life of this young lady whom I dearly love. It is my honor and my pleasure to unveil this special sneak peek. M, may every hope be realized and every dream be chased with passion and fervor. It is just the beginning and I can’t wait! <hugs>
