People Watching

Right now, my kids are with all of my wonderful chaperones touring the history museum in downtown Raleigh. I decided to sit down and take a rest from everythin in a corner. If you know me..I can people watch for days. As I sit here...I'm watching all the different kinds of kids that come in here. They have some parents, some teachers and some volunteers. But despite their title, they are looking up to these adults. No matter what the adults are saying to them...yelling at them for or even smiling at them..they listen. I'm reminded of many things when I see this. 1) I'm reminded of the passion that's been planted in my heart for leading children. There's a spark that comes over me when I see these faces looking towards their leaders. 2) I'm reminded of how essential it is to be a role model. We always have eyes on us that are watching everything we do. The actions we make, the words we say and the love we show 3) I'm reminded of God's heart for me. He is the one that I look up to. I am the same as these children I watch. I look up to my leaders for all things. And no matter how many mistakes I make...he still has passion for me and the things he trying to teach me. My God is not only my Father but he is my guide and my teacher. Thats all I have time for. Its time to go find the children that I love.
