| that's me with the cheesy grin (on the right). |
I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.
Okay, so only half of that statement is true, but I couldn't help but state those lyrics from Journey's song. It's true though, I am a small town girl. While I enjoy taking a peek into city life every now and then, I know that that's not who I am. I come from a town where people greet each other with cheerful "hello's" and "good morning's." I come from quiet neighborhoods where kids can play on the streets without worrying about cars. And I come from a city where people remember me from when I was this little.
I also come from rice-eating ancestors who physically brought me to where I am today. I come from a close-knit immediate family--the heart and soul of who I am. I come from a family that enjoys spending time together, hiking, shopping, eating, and movie-watching together. I come from a family who are more like best friends.
I come from love and hope and faith and trust. Things I've been surrounded with but am still working on in myself each and everyday. I come from prayers before dinner, television before bed, and reading before the lights go out. I come from a small town, a close family, and a cozy home.
But most importantly, I come from the one and only Creator who created this world. This universe, this state, this city, and this home that I live in. Now that's where I come from.
Psst...today--and hopefully for the rest of this month--I'll be linking up and joining Jenni's Blogtember challenge. Hope to see you there!
Cute family photo! What a great post :) Enjoy Blogtember! x Sunday www.lovehappydaily.com
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoy Blogtember as well! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSUCH a precious photo! Oh my, I love it. "Rice eating ancestors" ... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, because I just found this photo while looking through an old family album--I honestly don't remember where/when it was taken!
DeleteAnd yes, those ancestors are where it all started, my love for rice and all. :)
Hi Kiki... nice to know you! Really like your post! See you tmr! (⌒▽⌒)☆
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're enjoying Blogtember so far! :)
DeleteThat picture is too cute girl! Love it! I enjoyed learning more about you.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! And I'm glad you said that you're learning something new--sometimes I feel like I'm just re-stating words that you guys already know. :)
DeleteAnytime sister! I enjoyed reading it :)
DeleteI am praying for your challenge of Blogtember. You'll do great! Especially with posts like this. Love the progression of the "where I come from" theme. It is so awesome that we all have identity and a true resting-place with our Creator. ~ Julie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie! I'm really unsure about tomorrow's prompt, but I know that God will put the words that He wants me to type when the time comes.
DeleteAnd you are so right--having my identity firmly placed in Him is the most important place to come from! :)
Oh, girl, you know I love this!! This is SO my family, too! I know there are lots of families that are close with each other, but I can't help but suspect that my family is like your's, too - doing love, life and laughter a whole lot deeper than the average home.
ReplyDeleteI love it. :)
I'm thinking we have very similar families as well! Even though I don't have as many siblings as you do, I feel like our families have a lot in common--one of the many reasons why I can so easily relate to you!
DeleteAnd I agree, I think there are a lot of close families, but there aren't too many families I know of who really and genuinely love spending time together. It's a blessing (sometimes in disguise, though!). :)
p.s. I've missed you around blogworld, girl! How have you been?
