All The Sacred Things
When a newborn girl is born protected in the Garden, pure and wild, her connection to God is untainted. She is sacred. She is born with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other; vulnerable, but armed to fight for her freedom. She carries a heart full of wonder and expectation, her entire life set before her. She dreams of greatness, and her imagination knows no bounds. A wide-eyed child, she is unaware of the serpents that lurk, seeking to violate all that is sacred. A woman's time on our worldly planet promises to bring pain, loss, and grief. But, it cannot steal our original goodness; in fact, it is the overcoming of trials in the journey from girlhood innocence to a grown woman that brings authority and wisdom- the redemption of all the Sacred Things. This is a choice that immediately follows surrender. Surrender our true heart to the Creator of the sacred. This is the place we rule; this is the place we reign.
