My Passion!

Words can not express to you my love and devotion to children! I have had a heart for kids since I was a child myself. It is a love that I can not explain and a passion that can not be blown out. As I write this tears fill my eyes because of the love that I have for these kids.

Many people ask me how can you love a child so much that is not even your own. To which I reply because even though they are not my own they are God's child and God has placed a love in my heart for them that goes beyond any words.

As a teacher and also as a "children's pastor" I met many different kids. Some who come from great families who love God and who treat their children like precious jewels and others who don't love God and who treat their children like extra work.

Many times when you look into a child's eyes you can see what is going on in their hearts. Children just want to be loved, they want to be accepted and they want to know that someone cares.

Because I myself am not a mom I have not been able to experience many things with a child that a mom does. However I am blessed and honored that I have been called to love on these kids as God loves us. Even if it is just as simple as a morning hug, children know when you truly love them. They yearn for your approval and attention.

My heart for your child is that they would know the love of their Savior. That they would be so bold as to say at the age of 7 I am going to take my Bible to school for show and tell. And even when they are discouraged from getting to share it they invite their friends to read it with them while they are outside at recess.

The Bible says to come before Him like children! What does that tell you?

We look at our children's ministry programs as just a place for kids to go while the adults go to service. This is so wrong. We are training your children to be followers of Christ. To love Him and to know Him as their friend.

If you would just come and see these children's faces light up as you tell them that Jesus loves them. That he died on the cross for their sins and that He wants us to be with Him forever. They get it. We as adults have all these "what if's" while our kids are say "it is." They have the faith that it takes to enter into the kingdom of God. We should be learning from them!

When you ask a child what their favorite Bible story is and they know storied like "Jesus Raising from the Dead", and Jesus Walks on Water they get.They understand who Jesus is and how much Jesus loves them! It blows my mind sometimes how much these kids truly understand!

I want you all to know how thankful I am that God gave me a heart for children. They are such a blessing in my life! Thank you Heavenly Daddy for children! :) I am so excited to be a mommy one day! Children are an amazing blessing for God the Father!

Kale Says the Funniest Things!

Last night I was at the Palmer house just like every Monday night and we had a blast. We grilled hot dogs and brats and just stayed outside all night because it is so nice. After dinner we made s'mores in Marks Fathers day fire pit. Kale was holding the marshmallows and I was telling the story about how we use to play chubby bunny in youth group. Kale said that he would not be able to put that many marshmallows in and still say chubby bunny. Mark was turning on the sprinklers and over heard our conversation and said to me that it was a sad day when my mom had heard that a girl was killed playing that game. Which meant that we where no longer to play it anymore. So for about an hour Kale was thinking about that in that little smart brain of his. Well when Mark and Jill went in to put Kate and Jack to bed, Kale and I stayed outside and roasted some more marshmallows. While we where sitting there Kale asked me how I found out about the girl getting hurt from playing Chubby bunny. I told him that I did not find it out but my mom did to that he replies well how did she find out and I told him that she probably heard it on the news. Now this was the funniest part he then tells me that the news probably said something like this ...... "Today a girl was hurt playing a game called chubby bunny." I started laughing so hard and he got this big smile on his face. He is way to smart and so much fun to talk to :) I love you Kale Robert!

Kids Say the Funniest Things (part 2)

Okay so here are a few more things that I have thought of!!!!

* So my co teachers dog is names "Tucker" and one of our little boy's dads works for her husband so their families are pretty close. So one day we where playing a rhyming game and guess what this little boy wanted to rhyme with..... "Tucker" and I bet you all know where he went with this one. So he started Tucker, Trucker, Sucker, and then F...er. And the bad part is this little boy knows better but it was still to funny.

* One of my little boys was playing with cars one morning and another little boy came over and took one of the cars. So of course I had him go give it back and apologize. After a while I heard the little boy who got the car taken from him singing "Its to late to apologize its to late"! Oh my goodness it was to funny.

* Okay so today I was teaching in the Kindergarten room and decided to play I Spy with my kids. So I started and said I Spy with my little eye something that starts with "B". So the kids started guess a blue crayon, blue chair, books, than one little girl said kitchen. To which I replied does kkkkitchen start with "B" and she said no but if it did it would be "bitchen." She was so sweet and innocent to but man was it so funny! I almost peed my pants because she was so innocent and it sounded so funny!

Kids say the Funniest Things (part 1)!

So most of you know that I am a preschool teacher and as a preschool teacher hear things from your kids that you don't necessarily want to know! However they are still very very funny! So this is just a reminder to all of you parents YOUR KIDS ARE SMART AND THEY REPEAT EVERYTHING!

* When I taught the 3 year olds I had a little girl who was washing her hands at the sink after going to the bathroom there was a little boy in the bathroom and she was looking at him in a curious way! Just then said my daddy doesn't have one of those pokey things.

* One day I was sitting at the table coloring with another one of my little boys and we where talking about what pj's we wear like spider man and princess and one of the little boys decided to tell me that his daddy does not wear pj's or underwear to bed!

* I have a little girl who told the class during circle time that her dad told her before bed that she could not fart or pull jelly beans out of her nose.

* I was rubbing a little boys back during nap time and laying next to him when he patted my boobs and said big boobies!

* Today I was driving with a friend and her two kids when out of the blue her little boy said my peanut it hard mommy. I was like okay what is that so she asked how does it get hard when he proceeded to tell us that it is when he sits down or gets in the bath tub. Then I light turned on it was his private part that he was calling a peanut. Man I almost peed my pants! lol

Sleepy Dreams!

Okay so for all of you blogging pals I want to tell you that last night I had a dream about blogging no joke. I had to get up this morning to check if i had really blogged or not! My dream blog was about this weeks Bible story at the preschool which was Jesus Loves the Children. In my dream I had this really profound blog about Jesus Loving the Children. I hope that I will be able to remember it because I woke up crying after I had the dream. But to make a long story short I just wanted to let my blogging addicted friends know that I had a dream about blogging, A DREAM ABOUT BLOGGING if that is not addicted I do not know what is lol!

Embarrassing Teaching Moment!

Okay so last Friday was our last day of school for two weeks so at the end of the day we where having closing circle, eating some cookies and candy canes. Then two of my moms came in and decided to sit in circle with us. While we where sitting there one of the moms decided to ask all the kids what they where asking Santa for for Christmas! Well one of the little boys said he wants a Nintendo ds which made the other mom ask well what is that! So I proceeded to tell her that I think it is the new version of a playboy ...... I mean game boy. Man you should have seen my face it was as red as my hair! So then of course the moms had to give me a hard time by saying we know what Miss. Jinny does in her free time. And we have some good black mail for the rest of the school year! Thank goodness I teach 4 year old's and not middle schooler's! :) Man my face is getting hot right now just telling the story! :) lol

Funny Stories! (at least I think so)

Hey All,

So I thought that I would tell you all some funny things that happened yesterday.... I hope you all find them as funny as I did! :)

Okay so yesterday after nap I asked one of my little girls in my class how she slept and what she dreamed about. (Okay a little background needed here I think every day when you ask this little girl how she slept and what she dreamed about she always says good and that she dreamed about Mater and Lighting) So yesterday I thought it would be just like always. NOT! So I asked her what she dreamed about and she said nothing and then the proceeded to tell me that her dreams must have all run out. Than her best friend who was standing there as well said well than we better go and find them! :) It was super cute at least I thought so!

Than last night I had dinner over at the Palmer's which has been a tradition for several years now. Well I was sitting on the couch as Mark and Jill where getting the kids ready for bed. When all of a sudden I heard Jack crying and Jill laughing which made me laugh a little to myself but than when I found out what she was really laughing about it made it that much more funny and I lol! Jill came out and told me that Jack had just peed on his face! Man oh man did I think that was funny! :)

Okay I think that is all for now! But I have decided that since I don't have any kids of my own as of yet I am going to tell funny stories about other peoples! :)
