Many Little Things

So this past week of being nothing but thankful went kinda south for me. I did a pretty good job at being thankful but then a lot of family drama happened. Stuff with my Uncle and cousin and now my niece but when all that was going down I did something that made it easy to be thankful. I stopped focusing on all the bad things and focused on the little things that made happiness shine.

I realize I do this a lot more than I thought I did. Like this week, I wont even be able to go home after our three day mission trip; one of the families that are going with us camping will be picking me up at the church and taking me straight there. For Saturday and Sunday I will be coming back to teach and I have to be back by Monday morning because I will be teaching all week. Through all of this craziness i am focusing on the little things because if I look at all the big things I might freak out.

A few little things that happened that just made it way,way easy to be thankful happened to be kids. Tuesday I went to a Kindergarten Graduation and it was SOOOO cute. Better than any High school graduation hands-down. One thing that happened that I could not stop laughing at was this little two year old girl and a hat she put on. I was sitting there listening to one of the teachers and he was reading out of the Bible. I look over to see this little girl wearing a white hat, with a black feather hair bow. The feathers were in her face and the hat was almost covering her eyes. I guess from everything that had happened and was going on, I just soaked up that moment. My Laughter at that point was passed the point of no return. It was cute and I needed that small moment.

 Another thing that was just exactly what God called for was being a Sunday school teacher. Almost every week I ask what the kids what they want to be when they grow up. One week I had this little girl, four years old, say," I wanna be a Mommy!" It was so cute, and all I could do was smile. This past week though I was asked what I wanted to be. This is something like what I had said," I don't really know. I want to travel all around the world and help people." The little girl that said she wanted to be a Mommy looks at me with this dead serious look as says," I think you should be a teacher because you're a great teacher!" I love teaching, but I don't know if I could do that every day.

One of my favorite things that happened this past week that made thankfulness pour out, was at Youth Group because new YWAM people were there and there was also another new girl there. I LOVE meeting new people! I have no idea why but I get super stoked and excited when I meet new people. I love it even more when there is a connection. Like Christian Rap, traveling, or the same grade, well that's just a couple that happened on Sunday. Oh and liquid Nitrogen!  :-D Even just thinking about meeting someone new brings this huge smile to my face.

Prayer Requests-

 Please pray that the mission trip goes really well and that my teaching skills grow. Thank you SO much. I love you all!

Blessings.
