Sometimes God doesn’t call you to go do some radical, crazy adventure. Sometimes God calls you to go to three year olds birthday party.
There was a moment in Jamaica when God reminded me the feeling of being young at field day. Remember the days when you had to get up on your tippy toes to feel like a big kid. Remember the days where all you did was wish to be a big kid, and then you blink and your twenty-four years old and you look up and see a little kid on his tippy toes trying to see over a counter. I smile and say I wish for a day or two I could go back. The real question is why is being a little kid something we see as a want. Is it the way dreams seem so much more reachable? Is it the carefree and confident attitude that cannot be destructed?
God showed me just in the blink of eye watching this little kid, that no matter how old we get He is still using us and working through us the same so our dreams and healthy desires should always seem reachable. Our confidence, carefree, and strength should never be distracted because with the Lord in our hearts, we should always walk in authority in strength, confidence, and never sit in worry. I am another year older and oh so thankful to see twenty-four years and live out the Lord’s amazing works but in seeing a little kid on their tippy toes I will always remember my heart, my dreams, my desires, my confidence in the Lord in each day be made stronger.
Here I am months later in Nepal and revisiting those same thoughts. Seeing the joy in a sweet three-year old and hearing those sweet laughs, reminds me how the Lord feels when I laugh, when I smile , and when I am living my life in pure joy.
