3 scenes in church today spoke to me about me right now:

1) yeep was talking to me about the new song we sang in service... n her daughter ran up to her, arms extended, desperately flopping herself on her saying, "carry, carry" in a near sobbing tone. that vulnerability; helpless desire... n of course i see the deeper, fuller love from her mum as she bends down just as immediately to scoop her up in loving embrace.

2) my 2 nieces (both 2 year olds) trying to hold hands and run together. they stopped every few steps to unclench or change hands position cos they've yet to figure out how their fingers should come together, or who prefer palm up or down etc. it s so cute to see the simple joy of holding hands n running n figuring out how to do so together.

3) my 2 nieces again... they ran towards the stage hand in hand... then stopped n decided to hug each other. n of course, with the usual clumsiness of toddlers, one of them tripped on the other's foot and down they went into a tangled heap on the floor, getting hurt in the process. tears ensued.

man... this is one of the few extended times i see them together cos of the christmas service rehearsal. they are soooooo cute! i wanna b a cool aunt that they can relate n hang out wif when they grow up, 2 guide them 2 stay pure n loving God!

u noe, as adults, we aren't that much different from mere 2-year olds... juz dat we got more complicated n we got more 'sophisticated' in our clumsiness or figuring out process.
