I've started nannying our next door neighbor, Kristen. She's 10 years old, full of energy, and a sweet disposition! I REALLY enjoy my time with her! Mikaela adores her... and Kristen loves to play with Mikaela! It's great! I love the imagination of a young one. You don't need much to enter into a whole other world :) When you're 10, life is full. There's excitement, curiousity, abounding love. Kristen's helping me rekindle the child-like passion/imagination/joy that I once had. I'm tired of letting "life" get me down. I'm tired of the pressure to be serious and always "grown-up". I want to run free. I want to love my Lord, my family, my friends recklessly. I want to forget the expectations that I've placed on myself because I thought others would want them there. I want my 10 year old heart back... but with a twist... the twist being my Savior. I want a child-like passion that makes my heart race with excitement and fear all mixed together. I don't want to be ashamed or weak or silent. My heart longs for more than this world can offer. Jesus, come fill me up!
