Oh ... if you sensed that she's got a bit of sass about her, you're not the only one. Even with Mark having four daughters and six granddaughters, he can tell that Marissa's going to be a handful ... in a good way. :-)
Do you feel Marissa's ... pain/hurt / heart? Do you sense that she wants to bring her hurt out and help others to heal from it? Do you get the sense that she's, just like you, in seeking to figure out how she's special and what she was created to BE, and how she can help you do the same?
