...is when I grow up

The girls and I try to read a devotional each night before bed in addition to the several books each girl picks out. They usually want to breeze right through it to get to 'their' books. But, this particular night, we landed on a topic that seemed to fascinate them. It was about frogs and how they grow from an egg, to a tadpole, then a froglet, and eventually a full-grown frog. They liked the froglet part. Anyway, we were asked the question "what do you want to do when you grow up?" Oh, out of the mouths of babes.

Jordan said she wanted to be a chef. I told her that would be fun to share fabulous food with people. She said, "Yeah, I will be the chef at McDonald's" to which I said (in the mommy, high pitch tone) "that's cool. Maybe you can make some really healthy food for them one day." Uh-hmm.

Kendall said that she wanted to be the leader of a church. Whoa!, didn't see that one coming. Acting, singing, fashion designer- that I was expecting. I quickly regained my composure. Then I remembered a prayer that a dear friend prayed over me and Kendall when she was in the womb. She prayed that Kendall would be a leader to her generation, bringing God's Word to the hungry and hurting.

So, both of my girls want to feed the hungry. It will be fun watching God's plan unfold in their lives!
