adorned with jewels and satin,
paint coated nails and your powdered face,
smiling gleefully at the man you love,
God is a long forgotten memory of yours.
so, throw me back into the sea of innocence
where toy cars drove in their repetitive motion
and a time when barbie dolls were meant to have
their legs plucked and hair cut short
when family friends and school were nothing less than life,
and nothing else such as attraction between man was known.
but...
(yet), you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart... (hence) you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. -ephesians 4:17-24
press on in the renewing of your mind.
