In the Beginning . . .

In the beginning there was a little girl who thought she was a princess.
The little girl became a child who thought she was a cowgirl.
The child became an adolescent who thought she wasn't pretty.
The child became a teenager who didn't think she was much at all.
The teenager became a young woman who thought she would never be loved.
The young woman became a wife who wasn't loved.
The wife became a mother who finally understood love.
The mother became a woman who learned how to mother herself.

And so begins the journey of "Mrs. Jabez."
