responsibility

As I go to sleep, I pair my jammies with my boyfriend's socks. He knows I stole them. The extra room around my toes reminds me that when we play footsie, his bigger feet represent a male strength of heart that is a part of why I'm attracted to him. I'm taller than my most of the women in my family. I'm like a little mouse in his arms.

What girl wouldn't want to find herself in tears from laughing so hard at a frighteningly scary face a handsome boy makes just to keep her giggling? What girl wouldn't want a dozen roses sent two thousand miles through the mail a day early so as not to miss Valentine's Day?

I'm simply Anna.

Proverbs 31:25-27, 29-30

"25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness...

29 ... "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."

1 Corinthians 11:11-12

"11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God."
