Girlhood. Womanhood. There’s a fine line we cross when making that leap from child to adult and from girl to woman. We are expected to go from a child with frivolous desires of ponies and lollipops to graceful and poised. If we want the frivolous things as we grow older, we’re superficial and greedy. I’m not saying that all those shoes and handbags in your closet are 100% necessary, but where is the line drawn? At what age do we stop being daddy’s little girl and become strong, independent women? And when do we stop striving to be a "socialite" and center of attention, and start being a "social light" for Christ in the world? I’m documenting my 20 something years: to attempt learn the life lessons God to teaches us in our quest to become WOMEN of God. To show it’s not about the things: it’s about seeing God in them. And to prove as daughters of the King, we’re always Daddy’s little girl.
