Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

eyes of a child

looking into the eyes of a child is revealing.  a billboard.  a sign.  a notice.  of what is going on.  an advertisement of what he needs.  or wants. or hopes for.  or fears.  looking into their eyes shows me who they are.  and yet.
sometimes i get too busy.
i'm trying to teach the curriculum
trying to teach a new concept.
trying to get across an idea.  
and i forget that i'm not teaching ideas.  or facts.  or thinking.
i am teaching children.
a child.
one at a time.
and the best days are the days that i teach them.
that i find them where they are and look into their eyes and see who they are.
what they need.
what encourages.
what scares.
those are the best days.
so i think that i'll go about making more best days.
blessings.
