symbolism

There are some images we see that resonate with us.

Resonate with our soul

because we feel that they represent us

or

speak to who we are.

For me the image that makes me feel at home

are

angel wings.

Whenever I see the image

on a postcard

or a shirt

it just causes

me to take a deep

breath

and sigh.

I don't know why this is, but it is something God has given me.

A special link between Him and I.

I am not saying I am an angel

however

I do think

I am on the front lines for

fighting

for children

who have been

abused.

for a reason

I think that God

hand picked me

to be doing

exactly what

it is

I am doing.

People always tell me

"I don't know how you can do your job,"

I

think

how can I not?

This weekend I went to go see Blind Side.

It made me cry so many times.

Because it is my heart to love those who

have been abandoned.

I have literally walked the foot steps of the character

portrayed by sandra bullock

of tucking teenagers into bed and reading them bedtime stories.

It makes my soul

scream

to think there are

children

who will not be given a

toy this christmas

or have no family to go home to

because being on the streets

is safer for them

then to be under the

roof

of where their biological family

resides.

This christmas

be Jesus

to someone.

A child.

anyone who needs to be loved.

Wrap your wings around them

because you can

and have been blessed.

Open your eyes.

Get out of your comfort zone.

Find someone who needs you.

There are lots of people

sometimes they are hiding because

they are ashamed

or feel embarrassed

But find them

and

love them.

Also in this christmas season: take a moment to be quiet and really spend time being present.

Last night...

Last night James and I had a date.
We hadn't spent any good quality time together in forever.

So we went out to eat at jose muldoons for dinner.
Then I was planning our date, last night so I told him where to drive.
As we were on our way to the broadmoore...it started snowing like crazy.

So I told james what we were going to do as we were on our way there and he said let's just see how it is.

So we went and it was enchanting.
truly it was.

We walked around the back where the snow was falling down at a delicate gentle speed.
Just soft.

We walked around in the snow, held hands, and admired all the lights.
I hummed christmas carols
and we attempted to take pictures.

Last night was enchanting.

I figured out james is not very good at taking candid shots with his phone. we are going to have to work on that :)

We just enjoyed each other's company and it felt magical.
We stood on a bench and looked at all of the beautiful decorated trees and james chased geese.
They were chip ring very loudly and not happy that james was upsetting their home.

Then on Monday he had these delivered to me at work :)
