Today my sweet amazing love showed me a few things. He taught me how to spend my time wisely. He taught me the feeling of simple delight & He taught me what confidence in my decisions looks like.
I was doing some hand shakes with a small group of girls and sweet sweet little Christian comes up behind me & and motions to get on my back. It took me a little while to realize that he was the first child I put on my back the very first time we came to this school. He wrapped his little arms gently around my neck. Two words that came to mind were comfort & safety – in a way, just standing there with this beautiful child on my back, I felt like I could offer him those two things. Later David (one of the guys that help us figure out the schedules ministry) asked him why he wasn’t in class. Christian said his class was outside exploring & he pointed to the hill with kids running around all dressed in their plaid uniforms. Christian CHOSE to come to me. He didn’t cower when David asked him why he wasn’t in class. I know he felt safe & comforted – confident in his decision to come.
That’s how I want it to be with God. I want to CHOSE to spend time with him sacrificing something else. I want that simple & wonderful DELIGHT of just being with each other. I want to feel absolutely CONFIDENT with my decisions & feel comfident standing on that solid ground – or being on His back. I hope I made Christians day as much as he made mine. I know that that is exactly how God feels when I spend time with Him & I know He hopes I feel the same way too.
I honestly think I could just take sweet Christian home with me- haha hopefully someday I can take a picture of him to show you.
