Jenae's Birthday poem...DANCING IN THE RAIN

DANCING IN THE RAIN

She likes moonlight
Especially when it is full and bright
It just lights up the heavens, and she can kneel by her window and pray and talk to God.
She likes to look for GEMS (God's Encouragement to Me)
Little "special things" from God just to her
Like a smell from the past, songs of the birds.
She likes children
Especially her little nieces
They remind her that she is God's little girl, and she can trust him.
She makes silly faces
Her trademark from infant-hood
Like frogs between her eyes tucked into glasses.
She likes friends
Old friends, and new friends 
But a few really close friends fill her heart with warmth.
She likes to try new things
Like huge tree swings and zip lines
But nothing dangerous, like bungee jumping.
She likes purple and green
Living color
Like pansy faces, grape juice, and soft grass in a field of wildflowers.
She likes her pillows
They surround her like a fortress of protection.
She likes a soft comfortable blanket
Not so much over her as just up close.
She likes to read a good book
She likes to journal, read God's word, or just "nap" on her bed.
She can be spontaneously fun
Like a pillow fight or tag in the dark
Or playing a trivia game and just laughing at the answers.
She is good with words
Words that describe her thoughts and feelings
Words that tell of the love and mercy of her forever friend Jesus.
She likes listening to music 
She likes to sing!
She sings to rejoice, and to bless others.
But one thing she LOVES to do,
She loves to DANCE IN THE RAIN!
She is learning to trust more day by day
Whether things are good or, well, difficult.
So if it is "raining", don't be surprised to see her DANCING,

Happy 24th Birthday,
I Love You!
