-the weirdest girl you'll ever meet-
 
 
My name is Aileen Rebecca Strong (it means -Daughter of Light, Bound to, Strength!!!!!)
I'm 26... mid-twenties--ekkk,  howd that happen???

 

I've settled into my new live-in nanny job and am starting to feel the progress in the way Ailsa relates to me, and trusts me, she is going through a tough time in her life and its great to know that i'm adding to the stability in her life- Gods using her to teach me alot of new things too.

The baby in the photo below is Joelle, my beautiful neice- she's the best baby ever, fun and happy and she's one of the brightest lights in my life- and she's so stinkin cute that i had to add a pic of her too.

 

 
 
 
 
 

if you could change one thing about your past what would it be?
i have done alot of things that brought me pain, made alot of choices that made life harder...but...each and every mistake and "trial" every speed bump (even self inflected ones) have shaped a part of who i am today if i were to walk the same paths today i would make so many different decisions but i can't and now i have experience that allows me to speak into the lives of others (who may be walking the same roads i did)- so nothing (sigh) i would change nothing

 

if you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? 

for the most part i like who i am, i used to hate how short i am but i like it now and then i didn't like the white spots i have but even they have grown on me (no pun intended) but i do still hope to some day get my teeth fixed, i've always been a bit embarassed by them but i try not to let it keep me from smilng as much as i can, someday i will hopefully get them fixed.

 

If i had a million dollars what would i do-  first i'd pay of my debt (i don't have alot but it'd be nice to owe nothing), i'd get my teeth fixed , i'd do alot of little things (like get health insurance and a cute little laptop)and i'd do what i could to help out my parents (who've always been there for me) but i would keep most of it for a year- to make sure i didn't make any rash purchases, give myself time to figure out how to best use every penny.

Man of my DREAMS

 

He is a man who loves God with everything he is, he's not perfect bu the strives to live right. He's not reserved in worship, he cares not what others think or whether he looks silly but just that God hears his hearts cry- so strong that sometimes his body has to join in. He puts thought in to the way he looks but again doesn't care what others think cause who he is would show through no matter what he wore

He has many dreams tucked away for a someday and yet still lives today with a zeal as a quest for adventure... knowing that the ordinary almost always has hidden in it the potential for the extraordinary.


He is a moment catcher, not letting one pass him by unnoticed and he sees the world a little different than most and is excited to share his view with those around him. He's found the secret to happiness, in the choice of enjoying everyday, even when things don't go your way.
He is careful not to give his heart away, holding it carefully for the one he'll someday love, the one whom God himself handpicked (and handcrafted) for him, he waits patiently to meet her, knowing that everyday leading to that day is part of a very necessary preparation process.

I know him very well- i have dreamed of him for many years and though his name is uncertain and his face remains blurry i know him all the same

His love breaks through time and sometimes i hear his words and feel his presence. sometimes a smile will spread across my face as i think about him and all tomorrow holds for us. He is the love of my life, the father of my  children, my partner for the long life journey that lies ahead- we will discover the world together.

Sometimes his absence now frustrates me, the impatient side of me struggles out and becomes my dominant trait but then i lean back on the only arms that have always been there and trust God and his timing cause he is the only one who knows us both.

 My love for him is strong even now- a choice i make each day that iwill love and encourage him, support and walk beside him even now in myprayers as i ready myself for the years to come when we are together.

He will love me despitethe bad choices i made in the past, knowing that God used them to makeme part of who i am today. He will seek the beauty in every day, theGood in every bad and he will understand that more than feelings andattraction, emotions and butterflies, Love is a choice, one made everymoment of every day and with Gods help it can and will last a lifetime.


Soon the days when i am lonely, when my arms feel extra empty and thecold around me turns into a deep longing, it is not just anyone i achefor, it is him! my love, the one who's strength will meet myweaknesses, the one who's tune will match my lyrics, my Husband!!! andsince i don't know who he is today I'll do the only thing i can do----

LORD-be his strength today, wrap him completely in your presence, remind himof who he is in you and keep him focused (eyes and heart) on you. andlet him feel my love today- so he'll know that somewhere out there,under the same sky- his girl is waiting, eager  to be withhim. trying her hardest to follow your will for her life, day to day.and that her love (though it may be years away still) and your love(the unsurprising, unfailing, never ending) is all he needs to sustainhim. and continue to remind me the same.
