Speed With Direction...

I got to work in the 1st-2nd grade girls room at the 11:00 hour this week. The girls in there are really sweet. They're not into boys(yet), and they love to dress up. They come into the room toting purses, stuffed toys and even baby dolls. While roaming Velocity on Sunday, I get to overhear funy conversations. They talk about everything from what's on TV, to who did what last week at school. And because we have so many kids, a lot of them know each other outside of church.

I overheard a conversation yesterday that still has me smiling. It might be hard to follow, but I'll do my best. Two little girls, Mikaylee and Hayden were talking and coloring. Mikaylee asked Hayden if she rode the bus. Hayden looked at her surprised and said, "Of course not!"
Mikaylee replied, "But I've seen you get off the bus at school." Hayden, answering with sudden understanding said, "Oh, you mean a bus to school...yeah, I do ride the bus. I thought you meant church. I'm REALLY into church!" Mikaylee nodded in agreement, like this was something that she already knew. Arent' they are so very wise at this age?!?

That just made me smile. Hayden is one of those kids who was SO timid last year. But this year she's grown up and now she's "into" church. Not My Pretty Pony, Hannah Montana, or _______, you fill in the blank. She's loving church. She's loving small group. And she loves talking and learning about Jesus. That is her focus. Hearing kids get excited about church is just another reason why I have the best job in the whole wide world.

And thanks girls, for making the start of my week so enjoyable.
