I was blessed with the privilege not to work my first year of college. Which was great because I was able to "get my feet wet" and get use to being a way from home for the first time. This summer mom and daddy asked me to look for a job, nothing that would take too much time away from school, but that would give me spending money. I was excited, because mom and daddy had given me the ability not to work last year and I am thankful, but at the same time, I hate asking for money and I really don't mind working. So I began to pray that God would open doors for something on campus that way I could go home on breaks and such. After looking pretty much everywhere that I could think of on campus and coming up short, I was pretty frustrated! About 3 weeks ago a lady who has 2 little girls called me and asked if I would be interested in keeping the girls on Tuesday's and Thursday's for 2-4 hours. It has turned out to be a blessing for sure! They are a young couple who lead the college ministry at the church they attend. And their little girls are just too cute!
But while hanging out with the girls, I can't help but think about the Johnson kids back home. I have to admit that 2 little girls are a little easier then 5 boys, 1 girl and a dog though! But how I miss the way Caroline thought she was the boss, and I could listen to that girl read for hours!! How Caleb always wanted to show me his latest "project" and the way Josiah loved to sit on my lap. Stephen hated to take pictures with me, but always wanted me to read him a book. Every time Moses says my name, my heart just melts and while I've missed out on Noah growing up (I can't believe he will be a year in December) he is so cute!
I am so thankful that people trust me with their little ones! I love children and since it isn't yet time for me to have my own, I'm blessed to get to watch these little ones grow up!
