It's Me Life

Emmaline is...

like a TV whose remote control is stuck.

the girl who will try to cheer you up with shadow puppets.

the girl who remains steadfast when life has kicked her in the head, crushed in her skull and left her gasping on the ground.

These things have been used to describe me, and I'll take them. I wrote a really long time ago about my Tower of Babel existance, about how the theme of my life has been that I spend time building up something for myself, only to have it knocked down for me to build something better. And I'm really ok with that. I'm glad that God has not been pleased with my first, second, or third attempts at building something for myself.

This Tower of Babel existance makes it OK for me to look around at my life sometimes and see that it's in shambles, because that only means that it's time to start building again.
