Nanny-ing...

It is so hard to be all that i want to be, all that i feel like i need to be, and i know that i am not the only one. I see the AIDS orphans, i need to hold them. I see the man looking for food in the dumpster, i need to feed him. I see the friend trying to hide her pain, i need to ask. I hear someone wish for something, i need to provide. The "I" is the problem... I know that we are to look to God to fulfil our needs, but i feel so pulled to respond that it has become a need that "I" need to fulfil. Re-reading this it probably doesn't make any sense sorry! I can't seem to be able to explain myself very well lately, my articulation is off, probably a sign from God that i need to shut-up a bit more and talk less cause it is not my turn...

I have been baby-sitting in Frankenmuth this weekend for an 8 year old girl, her brother was here as well. I am discovering lately that maybe the reason i love baby-sitting so much, besides my love for kids is that i love to run a beautiful household, if only for a short while. I know that things are not what is important, but it is nice to have access to the little luxuries of families that are well off, (nice furniture, big houses, wireless Internet, fancy kitchen appliances) I am happy with what i have, but someday i would love to have a home like the ones i baby-sit in.
