Karly knows that next summer we are taking her to Disney. This is a HUGE deal to her! Awhile ago Karly asked me if she could take a friend with her. I told her "well maybe. Daddy & I would have to talk about that". In my mind I am thinking she is wanting to take one of her cousins or best buddies, boy was I wrong! She went on to tell me, "Mom I really want to take Miss Julie (her gymnastics teacher) with us, she is one of my best friends & I have so much fun with her!" LOL. I found it sweet & endearing, but kind of forgot about it after that conversation. Today Kar had gymnastics & in the middle of class she yells "STOP MISS JULIE, I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU!" Being the incredible teacher she is, she stopped & replied..."what is it Karly Bug?" Karly says, "I asked my mom if I could bring you to Disney with me & I think she is gonna say yes! Will you please come with me?!"
The entire gym heard the conversation. It was so sweet, you could hear chuckles & Awwww's from all the other teachers & parents. I had to take a minute & soak it in, for in that moment I was reminded how God is answering my prayers over this child. From before she was born I prayed that her life would be surrounded with individuals that love her, encourage her, breathe life into her, friends & other girls that she could look up to, that she could turn to when life starts to get hard to understand. Girls can be so catty, ugly, jealous so I find it crucial to combat that. Jason & I have decided to put an extra effort forth to make sure this happens. We have specific individuals in her life that have committed to breathing life into this child God gave us. When I have looked for classes & teachers for her I have often told them, I don't care what she learns I just want her to know she is loved. I feel so blessed that we have found teachers, like Miss Julie who go out of their way to have fun & love on my child, teachers that do so much more that their job requirements & live their lives in a way that shows excellence, children look up to & want to be just like.
I love these small reminders God gives me to let me know how much He loves us & how blessed we are!
