Oh, to be a "Young'un" again
I am still at work ... sitting in my office. One of the teenagers that helps to run the YMCA after school camp was just on the phone with her mom. She wanted to go out to eat with a friend tonight. Her mom was afraid of what the weather would do (I gathered that from the conversation - and it's supposed to snow tonight).
I sat here smiling remembering the times that I asked my mom and dad what I could and couldn't do. Sometimes I wish that I was still young and had to do that. Growing up is not all it's cracked up to be, that's for sure. I think I would give just about anything to go back and be a little child growing up in my loving home again. I had a wonderful childhood and even though then I didn't realize it - I do now - and that is - my sister and I were spoiled completely rotten. There were things we often got that we thought (of course) we needed, but it was simply a want. I can't imagine what it would have been like to grow up with another mom and dad. I absolutely had the best of the best of everything!
Then, I got to thinking....when (not if) :-) we have children, and I'm faced with those kinds of questions, I just wonder will I be able to make the best decisions for my child without letting my anxiety issues take over! I worry a lot about the simple things - a lot of the time I worry too much. I'm afraid I would be so worried that I would stop them from doing something great. I know God has great plans for us - and with that, He's surely to lead me through all of that too!
:-) I sure hope it snows tonight!!
