A Life Moment with Allison

wow....it's been a long time since i've written on my blog to inform you on life, but it's been kind of crazy, so now i can take the time.

i was thinking back, which i happen to do a lot, to the major life lessons that i have learned or different ideas that i have thought of that pretty much just make me sound like i'm a wicked smart person (which is funny if you really know me...) and i was thinking back to a time at camp good news my first year there as a counselor (or at all!) in 2007....

i was a Kickapoo counselor which basically means daycare. so sometimes, i got off early and was avaliable to do the all camp ground game. the day i got off early happened to be wednesday, which as everyone at camp knows it, capture the flag day. my friend Kyle and i were partners in crime and were trying to scheme a way to get the flag. one time, we came back from a failed attempt and we were going to get some water. right as i turned the corner, i see a little boy camper near the fountain on the ground crying. me being a girl with some motherly instinct immediatly run over to him and pick him up and put him in my lap. i just held him until he stopped crying and i brought him to the nurse.

this may just seem like a nice story, but it means so much more to me.

i just picture me falling on the ground and hurting myself in life, and the split second i fall, God is there, holding me in his protective arms. whenever i have a hard time in life, i just remember that God loves me and cares for me and is there for me, and it makes everything more bearable.

this is just one of my many lessons that children have taught me for my life....thus one of the many reasons why i love children.
