a blink of the eye

"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."


i read this verse over break...and for some reason it stuck. even though it doesn't directly tye in with my break i feel like it fit for some reason. I didn't play with a bunch of little kids, or even see any really. But I thought a lot about growing up. I spent half a week with people that will include me in their family...








then i traveled with my in-a-year-and-three-months-husband in a car for hours down to my parents. a drive that will soon become very familiar... a drive that we will take together to visit my parents. The kind of thing that grown-ups do.



















then i spent the week visiting my family...talking about planning a wedding, deciding where and when its going to be...even trying on wedding dresses.













all this to say it was a very grown-up week...or atleast it could be. but i think that that verse is so good, and so important because through all this, and through life we must have a child-like out look. I want to look at the road trips, and the wedding planning through a child's eye. I want to be giddy and excited like little children are. I want to love with out holding back. I want to forgive like they do. I want to look at the world with amazement. I want to always be learning.







so that was this week...it was a good good week.

plus...i feel like i am more in love than before :)
