This past weekend I went to Ohio Fall Breakaway to babysit the Pastors kids.
After I put the kids to bed Saturday night I went on a walk outside. I was in the middle of a field and looked up and the sky was so amazing. I saw the most stars I've ever seen. It was beautiful. I was in awe of God's incredible creation. I teared up a little. I wish I could of seen the moon but I think it was too cloudy. The stars seemed so close even though they are billions of miles away. It was so cool. I felt close to God when I was out in that field alone with the stars, it was amazing.
I realized a lot that night. I realized how much I've grown in the past few years. I learned a lot about how I've changed in the manner of taking care of children and seeing that I'm actually really good at it and can come up with some awesome ideas to play. I came up with the idea for the kids to make their own boardgames. They were based off of candy land. It was pretty awesome and I know they had fun. We also wrote up a list to go on a nature/treasure hunt but never got around to it but one of the kids did find some wild mushrooms which was on the list.
Baby-sitting totally prepares you in some ways for your own family whenever that happens in my life I'll be semi-ready to handle it.
I had fun! It was a nice change from my daily life.
It was also nice to see friends and meet new people when I wasn't watching the kids. :-)
