Those of you who know Abigail, know that she is my thinker...my observer. She always has been. She is always watching what is going on around her and her mind is always somewhere...daydreaming. The other night we were on our way home from Wednesday night church...I look in the rear view mirror and can tell that Abigail is thinking hard about something. She then asks me very seriously, "mommy, how do I know what I am supposed to be when I grow up?" Of course, I talk way too much...anytime she asks me anything like this...I go on and on. So, I tell her that God has given her special gifts and interests in things and that if she listens to Him and stays in His will and she does something she loves then she will know what she is supposed to do. I went on to give her lots of examples of people in our family and the jobs they have and why they love them, etc. She seems satisfied with my long drawn out answer. She then gets very quiet and is thinking again.
"Mom!", she says very excited...."I know EXACTLY what I am supposed to do when I grow up!"
"you do? already?", I said...."YES! I am going to braid hair!!! I am sooooo good at it! And I know I will just love it!"
So, much for our talk :)
"That is great sweetie! But, you have a few years to think about it"
