School is almost over for this year! I am excited about having some time off and being able to spend some time with Callie (and Andy too, I guess! LOL!). She grows a little bit every day, both physically and mentally, and I feel like I miss so much of her while being at school.
She's had a pretty good school year. She's been in the same room all year this year, and she's really gotten to know her teachers and little friends pretty well. She has also been potty-trained (thanks to Tammy and Vickie!) for a while now, and she's learned SO much this year! She is so smart. We are constantly amazed at what she says and does.
I have had a pretty good year too. I pretty much know what I am teaching next year, and it looks challenging, but I will do the best I can!
Here's a funny little story about Callie...
She and I were talking and she mentioned her leg hurt (she barely bumped it getting out of the tub!). I told her to ask God to heal her leg, and I told her what to say. She asked God to make her leg feel better, and then she started talking about Him. She said He was coming to her house and that He had a black car, with many seats. How funny it was to me that she said this. A few days later, she said the same thing.
Also, every time she sees a cross, she makes it a point to tell me that she sees it and reminds me that Jesus died on a cross. Then, she talks about the hammer and the nails. She says "I don't want Jesus to hammer me," and other times she'll say "God's not going to hammer me."
The first time she said that I just could have cried. I told her (even though she probably didn't understand it) that Jesus would not hammer nails into her hands, but He took the nails so she didn't have to. It tore me up inside knowing that He did that for me, and it was ME who put Him on that cross! I can't imagine the pain and agony He suffered, but I'm so thankful He did it for me. I'm so glad "God's not going to hammer me!" Thanks to Jesus! Jesus took those nails for me! Aren't you glad!?
There's nothing like it when a child can bring something like that to light. I just love Callie, and I'm so thankful that God has given her to us.
