Life Goals

When Neal and I were still newly married we witnessed a sweet unnamed family member about the age of four (who happens to have a braided hairstyle named after her) loudly announce while pushing her baby doll in a pretend stroller, "I need to feed my man!" We laughed so hard then, horrified her mother when we relayed the story and still laugh at the memory.

Fast forward 10+ years...

Anna Grace and I were at the church this morning for a few minutes and she asked me if helping in the missions office was my job. I told her no not really that taking care of my family was the job God had for me right now. She sat quietly for a minute and then very directly said, "Well, when I grow up I want to have 3 jobs: a regular job - like a chef or something, taking care of my children and kissing my husband!" After a moment of stunned silence I looked at her with a smile and said, "Well, I guess you will be a busy lady!" I looked around the office and never quite figured out how those sweet ladies were containing their laughter.
