Hugs.

Seriously.

They are the best.

I love hugs.

And I have been blessed to get them everyday.

I have loved getting to know the little kiddos at my school.

Friday, a 3rd grade boy came into my room.

Just to say goodbye to me and give me a hug.

Today, I was at a table working with a group of kiddos.

A boy, who is in one of my earlier groups, was called to the office to leave.

Before he left, he came over to the table and hugged me goodbye.

There's a girl who has asked me everyday if she can come home with me.

Another girl continually tells me my hair smells good.

For instance, today she said, "Your hair smell good, again!!" :)

AND when I wear my hair curly, all the kiddos notice. 

They tell me how pretty I look.

I stinking love them.

I love loving on them.

Let There Be

"The earth was without form and void
and darkness was over the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, 'Let there be Light,' and there was Light."

Genesis 1:2-3

Where there is darkness

Let there be Light

Where there is nothing

Let there be Light

Weak

I'm worn out.

Drained.

Tired.

Exhausted.
But I am reminded to take heart.
Hold on to hope.
Take courage.

Crazy

I think these are hilarious...

Lip gloss.

I love little black boys.

Someday I want one.

Today at work:

A little boy comes up to me while I'm sitting down and hugs me.

He looks up at me with his big brown eyes and says, "you smell good."

Another little boy responds, "that's because she's wearing lip gloss."

(I wasn't wearing any.)

I love those little kiddos.

They are so freaking adorable.
