When I was a little girl, my grandma worked at a place that made hair decorations of all kinds. Each time she would visit us, she would bring us a bunch that we could add to our collection that added to our fun.

My dad would take naps on the couch and my sister and I would take advantage of this golden opportunity. As he lay sleeping, we would fill his hair up with all kinds of "pretties", carefully watching for the moment he would wake up. And soon he would wake up and chase us through the house as we would run away screaming.

In the same way God is working on our lives, chipping away at what shouldn't be there and adding what should be. He desires us to chase Him, except He's standing firmly still, with His arms stretched wide open to catch us. Our Creator longs to spend time with us getting to know us....listening to us, waiting for us to wake up and run toward Him.
