			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings to all my longtime Readers and to any of you who are new to this site.</p>
<p> I realize it has been a long time since I have posted anything on here.</p>
<p>Please know that I have not forgotten about any of you or this site.</p>
<p>I would like you to think of this site as a television series in the sense  that this current period of time is one which falls between the end GirlDefined Season 1 and the beginning of Girl Defined Season 2.</p>
<p>Expect a big announcement at the beginning of Season 2.</p>
<p>Please, stay tuned.</p>
<p>For your convenience, I recommend that all of you subscribe to receive updates on this site via e-mail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The other night I saw a very funny &#8221; Sound of Music&#8221; inspired episode of &#8221; Will and Grace&#8221;.</p>
<p>It reminded me of a poem I wrote a few Christmas&#8217; ago.</p>
<p><strong>My Least Favorite Things</strong></p>
<p>( A holiday worker&#8217;s spin on an old classic. See <a href="http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thesoundofmusic/myfavoritethings.htm"><font color="#003399">http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thesoundofmusic/myfavoritethings.htm</font></a> for original lyrics)</p>
<p>By: Veronica Lynn</p>
<p>Cash registers ringing, receipts being given<br />
Sales on scarves and warm woolen mittens<br />
Early bird specials and the shoppers they bring<br />
These are a few of my least favorite things</p>
<p>Cream colored cars with the keys locked inside them<br />
People describing their kid to me cause they can&#8217;t find him<br />
Endless lines from my desk to the door,<br />
These are the things that I find a bore!</p>
<p>People asking for endless directions<br />
That they don&#8217;t listen to bringing them back again.<br />
Packages left behind, drinks on the floor.<br />
So aggravating- can&#8217;t take it any more!</p>
<p>When black Friday comes<br />
Makes me so sad. Really I could cry<br />
Why come to the mall at five in the morning<br />
When those tacky sweaters you crave so bad,<br />
Will still be there at nine.</p>
<p>* If you are one of those aforementioned early shoppers, I&#8217;ll forgive you if you come by my info. booth and say hi. <img src='http://girldefined.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8221; Our culture has taught us to equate love with gratification- with getting rather than giving, with talking rather than sharing, with being our own persons rather than feeling a oneness with our mates. Therefore, it is not surprising that people go in and out of relationships since the returns are bound to fall short of their expectations.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis</p>
<p> &#8221; Things are not right because we have failed to folow the guidelines set before us by the Potter who made us, the Savior who died for us, and the Holy Spirit who is there to guide us.&#8221; - Diana Hagee, author of &#8221; What Every Woman Wants in a Man&#8221;</p>
<p> &#8221; Empower yourselves with the strength of God to defuse situations that were designed by the enemy to destroy. Surrender to the Lord&#8217;s always greater wisdom and discernment.&#8221; -Diana Hagee</p>
<p>&#8221; Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.&#8221; - 3 John 1:2 ( King James Version)</p>

<p>&#8220;And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [<sup>[</sup>a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them].&#8221; - 1 Corinthians 2:4  (Amplified Version)</p>

<p>Welcome to all the new Readers!</p>
<p>And to all of you Readers who not only supported this site in its  beginning, but have honored me by choosing to remain, thank you so much!</p>
<p> I would love to give you a preview of what is in store for this site in the upcoming year.</p>
<p>But I cannot do that, since even I do not know yet what will occur.</p>
<p>I look forward to all of us making that discovery, hopefully along with many others, together this year.</p>
<p> Again, thank you so much for reading. This site would not be the same without you.</p>

Lord, love on me.
Restore life in me.
Grow joy in me,
Until I laugh with You again.
Quiet my heart.
Extend my hands.
Strenthen my feet,
Until I run with you again.
Jesus in my heart.
I&#8217;m worry free.
Lord, renew my mind,
Until You&#8217;re all I believe.
