Years ago the Lord gave me a glimpse of a book about a little girl. It was a children’s book. I was reminding Him of all the fears we had walked through together. From the never being able to pray out loud to singing in front of people, to my fear of speaking, etc. As we talked He reminded me of when I was a little girl…the “deposits” He had made that suddenly I could see were from Him. The longings I had but didn’t understand. The desires and passions that arose out of a deep well…the stars in my eyes and big dreams for such a small town little girl.

I have learned so much with my Father about life. There is a reason for everything….the good, the bad, the crazy, the mundane. All He can and will use when we let Him.

This past year as I prayed the book came back to my mind and heart. He said it was time and so I sat down at my computer knowing I had never written a children’s book before and would need His help….”Lord, anoint me for that which you see…and give me your heart for this little book. You know the readers by name now as we prepare….”

The strangest thing happened next as I said out loud for some reason..”Is this a little girl’s book?” As clear as a bell I heard these words..” The title is The Big Girl’s Little Girl Book.. and it’s for women.”

In just a few hours He poured out the sweetest book for us Big Girls. You see I am finding we haven’t really grown up all that much. Yes, our bodies might be older and we maybe somewhat wiser….but Little Girl remains. She has never left. There is something in Big Girl He is after…..He is after the Little Girl within us…it’s the child-like faith He longs for in our relationship with Him. He also longs for us to see our lives through His eyes….His purpose for it all……Every little detail has a divine possibility in His Kingdom Work…His love in it all is for us…yes…but also all of humanity. You and I were meant to take our struggles, our joys, our hands and feet…and join Him reaching the world.

So, we finished the photo shoot this past Saturday and are preparing this Special Edition of Drama Queen Magazine entitled…..The Big Girl’s Little Girl Book. In essence, and in such a beautiful way only God can accomplish, it is a children’s book ….for women:) (Only God…) Maybe sometimes we simply need to be more like a little child to hear Him clearly…our faith has become too reasoned, too practical, and a bit boring. If we study the Word we will rarely find anything short of miraculous, unexplainable, and unsearchable. Nothing short of a grand adventure that no human could reason in our natural minds.

Love Much,
