Godmother Shelly

I have several jobs in a given week, but I always treasure my time caring for "2 sweet boys" (2SB) Super E is 2 and Little Love is 1. They keep me BUSY all the time, but their smiles, giggles, and cuddles are worth any "work" they might cause. Their amazing mom recently asked Brandon and I if we would be Godparents for Little Love. What an honor!!! LL is going to be dedicated in a couple of months, and while our church doesn't really do the "Godparent thing" the family decided they wanted to have special people chosen to encourage them as parents, and to spiritually encourage LL all through his life. We are so excited about the special role we will get to play in his life, and are honored to commit to praying for his little soul to soften to Jesus when he is young and to walk with Him even when he is old! While we long to be parents, God has called us to be "Godparents"... this is great! It is amazing how much love we have in our hearts. 2SB is the third family I have been a nanny for. It is always so hard to say good-bye to a family (one time we moved, one time they did) and you never think your heart can open that far again, then... an hour in... you are hooked. At the same time, you have not compromised a pinch of love you have for those you already care about... wow! Thank you God, for being Love, for teaching us to love, and for giving us hearts so ready to love. Amen
