Getting noticed

So there I was finally getting noticed. I was no longer that dorky girl with long stingy hair & glasses. From that point on I was never "boyfriendless" again. I dated a boy for awhile & when it didnt work out I started dating another boy. It was never really about them. It was about me. I liked that they paid attention to me, I liked that I felt beautiful, I liked getting flowers & holding hands in the hallways. It didnt matter WHO it was...it just mattered how it made ME feel.

My daughter is the perfect example of a little girl who longs to be admired. When she was four she would dance around the room in her little princess dress desiring her daddy's admiration & longing for a slow dance with the only man in her life. It was precious to see her face as he lifted her up in his arms. Her smile lit up & she had a loving look in her eyes. It's like she was saying,"He's noticed me, I am special."

Do you desire to be noticed?

I've always wanted someone to notice me...I wanted someone to see me & say "wow, you are beautiful'

or

"you are so cute".

Have you ever noticed that many girls want this same thing? All of us do.

Why is that?

Why do we want to be desired by someone?

Why do we straighten or curl our hair?

Why do we dress the way we do?

Well, my answer was to "impress the boys". Do you feel the same way?Are you out there doing your 'thang' just to impress the boys?

Doesnt every girl long to be noticed, doesnt she dream of being rescued from her castle tower by a handsome, strong prince? Hasn't every little girl felt this way?

How about you?

Are you looking for that kind of attention & love?

So it's been a long time since I've posted here. A year to be exact. How sad is that-when this is truly my passion? If you've come to this blog by accident I say "read it anyway, you might like it" If not, then pass the site to someone that may find it helpful. My passion is to reach young women about purity. Well, young ANY ones really.

Here's my story...I'm a 30 something that has journeyed thru some pretty tough high school years of boyfriend after boyfriend to find heart ache after heart ache & has made some really bad choices along the way.

My passion?

Well, my passion is to share some of my journey with others to help them make better choices. Kind of like a see what I did, now here's WHY you don't want to make those same mistakes kind of thing...you know?

So, here I am with my little keyboard in hand & I find that blogging might be a way to reach out. About 5 years ago I began writing a book about some of my experiences(I finished the book in 3 months) yet for the last 5 years I've been sitting on my book just waiting. Fearing. Not knowing what to do next. But something keeps nudging me to move forward. Something keeps reminding me that my words need to be heard.

So here I am.

I'll be giving you little snippets of my story throughout this blog & I'd really love your feedback. I'd really love your questions. I'd really love for you to just stop & think about your life & your worth & what I am trying to say. I wish I had someone in my life back in those days to help guide me, to say to me"Angie, really, do you REALLY want to make THAT choice?"

So, let me be that one for you.

Read. Listen. Respond. I'll do my best to not let you down. And by the way, I am moving forward on my book. I'll update you more as time moves along...
