Childlike Innocence

Lately life has really been dragging me down. I just feel like its been one thing after another and I can't catch a break. All I've wanted to do is run away and take a loooooong relaxing vacation. I've been leading Children's Church at my church for almost three months now. While this has been a tiring, trying job I've learned so much. Here I am to teach the kids, and they are the ones teaching me. Their innocence is so incredible. The way that they see the world is so uplifting. I love how I can talk to them about how they need to be Jesus to the kids in the their schools and they surprise me with stories of how they are already doing that and so much more.

These kids are so loving and accepting. I never have to worry about a new kid being left out. They take it upon themselves to invite someone to play with them. I can tell that these kids love Jesus. And while they still have a lot to learn and sometimes they drive me crazy because I can't get them to settle down and listen, they are such an inspriration to me. Have you ever seen a three year old worship God during music? Not only is it absolutely adorable, but it is so encouraging that someone so young can sing and praise Jesus.

Kids have such a unique innocence about them. If we could all have the faith of a child and undoubtly believe that God can and will do it. Life would be so much easier. I am so blessed to be able to teach and grow alongside of these kids. They have taught me so much about our Master's love in such a short period of time!

And to remind you of this innocence here is a picture of my adorable nephew at the wedding. :)
