Day 9 #blogjune

What with one thing after another, I just ran out of time and energy to blog yesterday. (I’ll just say it was not a good day, leave it at that.)

Tonight I did that exercise where you pick up the first book you spot, and let it fall open to a page, and this is what I read.

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic

and she said yes

I asked her if it was okay to be short

and she said it sure is

I asked her if I could wear nail polish

or not wear nail polish

and she said honey

she calls me that sometimes

she said you can do just exactly

what you want to

Thanks God I said

And is it okay if I don’t paragraph

my letters

Sweetcakes God said

who knows where she picked that up

what I’m telling you is

Yes Yes Yes

Kaylin Haught, “God Says Yes to Me”
