Just from reading the title, which girl do you think I am talking about? Yes.......it is about A, sweet, question-asking, tender-hearted A. Yesterday morning for church, the youth group had their share time from Falls Creek youth camp. It was a great service. God did great things in these kids lives and it was fun to hear about it all. So I am sitting by A, and during one of the songs all of the kids who got saved at camp lined up and one by one went to the microphone and quickly said, "My name is _________ and I got saved at camp" or "I am ___________ and I gave my life to Christ and got saved" or something to that sort. Well, about 7 or so had gone (there were a lot saved!) and A leans over to me and in her "whisper" that is really more like talking, but kind of a little louder than talking because it is whispering and talking, so it magnifies her already raspy voice.....she said, "well, what are they all getting saved from?" It was pretty funny because the question didn't sound like it was out of curiosity as much as out of irritation! I think she was a little irritated that they were all saved but didn't even say what they were saved from! I love to see things from her perspective! It is so different than mine!
After our VBS kickoff, which was so much fun, we were picking things up and getting things ready for VBS to start. The girls just find something to do while we are there. The little girls found our friend Emily, who is teaching S's class this week. So they were "helping" Emily do all sorts of things.........thanks Emily for letting them bug, I mean help you! So anyway, while they were in there decorating, A was asking a ton of questions........this surprises you right? She asked what everything was, and whatever else she asks about things. Emily was putting up some bull horns for decoration because we have a ranch theme. So this is the conversation (as I remember Emily telling me it went):
A: Did those come from an animal?
Em: yep.
A: Oh, was it a cow?
Em: No, it was a dog.
A: Noooooo..........dogs don't have horns........unless it is a bulldog!
Oh, I laugh every time I hear that! Oh, that girl.........I love her!
I do promise that I will get up pictures soon.....well, I will get them up sometime, hopefully soon!
People constantly tell us, "I wish I could be a fly on the wall of your house." Well, here's your chance! My sister and I started a journey to foster care and change some kids' lives. We ended up adopting four sisters, who have totally changed OUR lives! This blog is to document the funny, sweet and thougtful things they say and do as we travel this incredible journey together! I have heard, "you need to write that down" so many times that I have decided to do it!
