Kids and things

So my countdown was interrupted by the fact that I was so tired yesterday, and unable to get to my computer until what seemed like the wee hours of the night, so I will be combining my countdown of now day 5 and 4 together.

Day 5 and counting... Kids.

I've probably been babysitting since I was able to walk. Or so it seems anyway. When I was younger though, in my early and late teen years, never would I thought that my seeming path of work would always turn to being a nanny. Come to find out, kids have become a huge part of my life and I don't mind one single bit. It's almost like pre-mommy classes. By the time I get married and have kids, if God so wants that for my life, I'll practically be over-qualified.
It's taught me patience and forced me to learn the responsibility of caring for another person's life. What an intense lesson to learn!
Looking back, I would've never picked this job for myself, which is why I'm so glad I'm not the one in charge of my path.
I guess God always knew that I'd fit the profile of the crazy, quirky nanny who wears rainbow socks.

Day 4 and counting... Church.

I think I've always been blessed by my environment. Growing up in a christian home and going to church every Sunday (the only excuse not to go was if I was deathly ill), has really helped shape who I am today. I think it's also given me an appreciation for the importance of church. Quite frankly, I don't know how some people can do without church. The excuse of the modern, christian, person today would be something like, "I don't have time." "I have my own 'church' at home." whatever. My point isn't to debate or tell those people that they're silly in their thinking (even though, they are), no, my point is to be able to truly appreciate the fact that my parents instilled such a desire in me to always be involved in a good, Bible believing church.
There, I have found fellowship, the means to learn how to truly serve God and others and to learn in general, about God and so much more.
Basically, I think my point is to say that my life would be different without my home churches. But I do have them. And for that, I am grateful.
