shaped.

i think that the heros that have most shaped my childhood are the young girls in stories i read...

i was given The Secret Garden and A Little Princess for my birthday.

frances hodgson burnett formed me...

i know God used her stories to change my heart to want to become good.

to want to help other girls.

to stand up for justice in sweet and simple ways.

to use my imagination and to appreciate God's creation.

to become a real princess in the way that God sees me.

i cry during these movies because i start to realize how much of my life has been changed by unconsciously trying to emulate and become good like these girls.

miss you.

happy valentines day.
