So i figured out tonight what i would like to do with my life in an ideal world. I would love to worship with kids. Don't think i'm just being modest when i say that i am by no means any kind of a musician.... really, my major ability in the musical field is strictly volume! But leading kids into the presence of God through music is one of the most inspiring and exciting things that i know how to do. Not in the "oh yay, look at them do the actions" kind of way, but the truly "focused on who God is" way that kids seem to have so naturally. It's incredible to me.
To completely change direction here... following up on my post from yesterday (well technically this morning, but it was before i slept, so it still counts as yesterday), i see part of my role in life as constantly teaching and changing people's world views and experiences. (it really is fun - and i know you know what i mean, any of you who has tried to convince me to say "ice" or "zebra"). Anyway, i deviate. I introduced my bible study group to some south african foods, among them butternut squash. Today one of them made butternut soup! YAY. i will make a splash in the world. (even if it is just a drip). i hope i can make that kind of splash in letting people see Christ in my life.

carie!
i know exactly how you feel about those little kids. this past week in kids work here in ottawa, we made helmets of slavation. it was lovely fun. i love the 4 little kids that we have in our church. i love to see them grow and change and so much to see them worship. i am very happy to know that you are still doing so much of the kids work at emmanuel. wonderous.
God is using you. You are going to change lives carie. and you have the oppurtunity to show them Jesus when they are little! HUZZAH!!
