Just pursue me already, won't ya?

Having all daughters...and being a woman myself...I'm seeing more and more how we, as women, are relational to the core. from birth.

Or at least toddlerhood.

Raegan (28 months), Selah (5), Charis (6)...Alana wanted nothing to do with posing for the camera.

As women we'd like to know that people realize the depths of our interesting personality...and want to seek out its depths. Don't we?

Though by the time we've reached maturity, we know "better" than to blatantly advertise this innate desire.

Though on a personal level I can say that Jet stole my heart when he said, "I know it'll take a lifetime to get to know you."

Ah. The memories. In moments where I'm feeling totally neglected, I like to remind him of this sentiment. ;)

Well, my girls are already showing signs of this inborn womanly trait of wanting to be truly KNOWN:

Jet, in response to something that Charis had said: "I know you do, Sweetheart. I know you pretty well."

Charis: "...but you don't know EVERYTHING there is to know about me."

"No. You're right, I don't."

Charis, in a sweet, inviting voice, "Well, I can tell you some things... IF you want."

Doesn't that just melt your heart. AND describe the very feelings that we all have as women? ;)
