Let the Children Come to Me

So, nothing crazy new has really been happening lately. I did get the opportunity to go to my friend's lake house with her whole family and my other close friend last weekend and we had a BLAST! It was so nice to be able to get away from school for a weekend and relax, even though it was super hard coming back to school because I felt like I was on vacation. Friday I'm shadowing for a hopeful daycare job and I could not be more ecstatic about the opportunity. Those that know me also know that children are my heart and soul. I cannot wait for the opportunity to get to teach them and learn from them everyday! Luke 18:17 says "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will truly not enter it."

I love the way in which children view the world. They are so innocent and trustworthy. If we come to God in our lives the way children come to him, we would have the best faith around. Children don't ask questions, they just believe. I adore children for this reason. I also adore their innocence and care-free lifestyle. We get so caught up in this world and obviously it's understandable. Between school, family, friends, work, faith, and everything else in life, it's hard to manage things. I pray that by spending my time with children this summer I will not only learn how to be an incredible teacher and mother, but also person.

I guess my message for this blog is just to relax and be like a child. It's often frowned upon to act child-like in society, but I think it's great. Be happy, trust, go out on a limb, and relax. With finals coming up, many of us need to hear this message I think. Oh, and if you find it hard to channel your inner kid...a trip to a beautiful lake house will always do ;) Hope everyone's weeks are going great! All my love.
