I Would Like to Be…

Every once in awhile, amidst the daily grind of parenting, there are moments that stop us in our tracks and make our hearts skip a beat. We whisper thankful prayers that they are getting it.

Sure, we want our girls to be successful, happy and well-liked but, more than anything else, we want them to love the Lord with all their hearts. We want them to blow us out of the water with how they love God and serve others. We are not the best examples of that and often pray that, in spite of us, our children will be 100% all-in.

I would like to be the leader of…a kids worship band. The church I would lead for would be called “New Song.” I go to the kids service all most every morning. The worship songs are awesome. The band would be perfect for me. I fit all the things they need. One I have a buetiful voice. I also love the lord with all of my heart. That’s why I would want to be a worship leader for New Song!

She’s 8. Eventually, she’ll learn how to express both self-confidence and humility. But may she always, always believe that she can accomplish anything for God with the gifts He gives her.
