Again, the kid in me comes out!

"Faith like a Child"- Jars of Clay
 
Did I grow up too quickly? Maybe I did. Maybe it's part of being the oldest child in a family. Maybe it's that I always wanted to impress my mommy and make her happy. I started talking and walking at a young age and have a strong desire to do the best I can at whatever I do. I set high standards and expect a lot of myself. That being said, when I am around children I can not help but show my playful side! I've been loving this season and any opportunity to play! Yesterday's Agrifair in Abbotsford was brought to a close with a Jars of Clay Concert. What was the highlight of my day? Dancing so freely with little 5 year old Jenna- twirling around in circles until I felt dizzy, seeing her run and then jump in my arms, dancing arm in arm around the whole concert area, putting her on top of my shoulders at the front near the stage and then laying on the ground with her sitting on me and giggling. These are the precious~ joyous ~ special ~ freeing moments in life that ought to be embraced and treasured. We danced and danced and it was a life-giving time for me. So Thank You Jenna, for giving me those special moments of bliss, delight and life! As we were dancing, Jars of Clay was singing their classic song, "Faith like a Child" and her and I would pause and sing out those words with everything in us.

Little moments of awesome:
~ cartwheels in a field!
~ kid hugs!
~ questions from kids!
~ sweaty muffins (fresh muffins)!
~ ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!
