Children.

NO, I AM NOT THINKING OF HAVING CHILDREN.





I've really just been led to write about ... children.



I LOVE kids. Like, babies, infants, toddlers: I love them all. Here lately, I've been attending the 9:00 am service at The Refuge, and the 11:00 am service at Concord First Assembly. This past weekend however, I felt led to work in the nursery at The Refuge, as I havn't in quite some time now. So, I did, and it was truly a blessing. There was a boy in the room I worked in named Noah, and oh he was just so precious! He was adorable, and just had such a caring attitude towards the other kids. During worship, he knew EVERY word to EVERY song, and during "How Great is Our God" he had his hands lifted (well, on his knees) in worship. It was so amazing to see a young child worshipping and loving on the same God I worship and love on! It was so powerful!


The same night at work, I was with Julia, Leslie, Corie and Kaylee (some of my faves). We were bored, as usual on a Sunday night, and we made a list of baby names. I dont know why, but we always make lists with our kids names (Oh! Whitney was there too!). So, for whatever reason, I feel like expressing the names we all came up with for my childresn.



They include:

*Saffron Marie, *Adalia Shea, *Ezekiel Blaine, Broderick Shane, Dustin Avery, Carson, Carter, Ashton, Shane, Kaylen Marie, Kaylee, Daelyn Ashe, Dallas, Amery, Layton, Kinsey, McKenna, Katarina, Aiden, Elise, Natalia, Coree, Lyza Kait, Kamryn, Cody Shane, Keneith, Tayler, Tylor, Shiio, Raylen, Kayra, Michale, Mathew, Mykala, Layla, Braxton Lee, Finlee, Myka, Ellie, Krystina, Zoe, Saraya, Kayden, Caden, Cole, Missy, Olivia, Auriel, Julia, Julianna, Gabrielle Michele, Emilia Grace, Mia, Nathan, Janine, Brayla, Rachyl, Darla, Audra, Sandra, Miriam, Kaitlyn, Loraine, Saxra, Lyzzie, Josiah, Seth, Braylen, Clae, Delanie, Delilah, Mikayla, Kayla, Bailey, *Noah James, Hallee, Brianne, Jessie, *Jessalyn Kae, Laura, Lacey, Katee, Laney, Molly, Kara, Reaghan, Myranda, Shara, Mona, Savanah, Sophia, Eryn, Nicolas, Zachary, Colin, Noel, Melanie, Chandler, Chessa, Madisyn, Jacob Daley, Isabella, Nancy, Mailyn, Jaryd, Karaline, Maria, Gianna, Brooke, Kacey, Abby, Naomi, Darah, Railen, Daniel, Amalay, Karyn, Mary Kate, Jase, Dakota Faye, and Rebeka.




The ones with (*'s) are my favorites. I dont know what we were doing, but these were just names that I truly liked. It was funny, because the first 3 names on that list are the names I wanted for my children. Then I had this ENTIRE list of names I love! Like earlier stated, I'm not interested in kids right now (though I LOVE LOVE LOVE them), I just felt led to write about children.





When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them,
‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’
— Mark 10:14
