and thankful for you friday.

shout out, children.

what an honor it is to have been one of you,
learn with you, struggle for you, snuggle with you, cry for you,
teach you and most of value, know you as your Maker does.

so.much.love.


Today, I had my first full day of in-school experience. 107 faces. Eagerly anticipating my arrival. And [quite literally] hanging on to my arm as I left. 7:04 to the 2:13 dismissal bell. I know now why God placed that yearning in my heart, even if it is just for a season.

The trying balance comes when the tension pulls between showing affection, nurturing hands, and listening ears to their story with the firm voice of "please sit down this is not the time" that I am gradually building.

But back on track. I love children. Let's take a picture scroll of those that have made my life better. Their faces and expressions coinciding with mine say more than the words I could attach to them.
