Almost 24 . . . .

So as I approach my 24th birthday, I have started reflecting on well . . . my life. God has truly blessed me with so much and I often forget to thank Him. I have a wonderful husband who loves me so much. We have a house, nice cars, good jobs . . . and a great church family. Though I still occassionally struggle with truly feeling a sense of belonging at RCC and in the community. God has also blessed me with 2 great nephews and 2 wonderful nieces. I love them so much! Oh, and I almost forgot . . . one on the way. . . though I don't know yet if he/she will be another nephew or niece. Well, anyway . . . I just love their free expression . . . Kids don't worry about who is watching or what kind of embarrassing things they're doing. It doesn't matter! And they are never shy about sharing how they feel or sharing their affection with you. I guess that is why I love playing with my nieces and nephews so much! Well . . . enough reflection for now . . .

to be as free as a child is something that i think we lose sight of with all our "adult obligations." is there such a thing as being a responsible child? can we as adults still maintain our free spirit and untamed joy while still attending to our other responsibilities in life? or do we forfiet our freedom to already prescribed social stigmas? sorry...i'm really intellectual right now. this too shall pass.
