Finding Your "Spot"

I have always struggled with "what to do" when it comes to ministry. I naturally was drawn to working with children. Was is because I was supremely gifted in this area? Was it just because I liked kids? Or maybe, kids don't judge like grown ups...the expectations on their behalf is just not the same...the acceptance and room for error is just different. For the most part, they just want your attention and love.

Now that I think about it, this "attention and love" is probably all that the adults need as well. We just complicate it all by desiring things to be "perfect" and flashy. We are the stupid ones...the kids have gotten it right!

A Thankful Friday

Whew, what a week...a sick kid, busy schedule, it all seems to add up so fast. I do have to say that my mindset has been positive throughout the days and nights that I was dealing with Emma's illness. I also have been so thankful for our health and for her ability to not be cranky and unbearable when she is ill.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about why we all should be more thankful. It makes it so much easier to appreciate everything in my own life. The only unfortunate part is that I really notice those walking the opposite path of ingratitude and selfishness, but I think this is only the beginning! I am getting excited and less dispondent about what I need to do and more patient regarding allowing God to show me where I should go and what He has planned for me...the best is yet to come!
