Blessed with the best

Oh my goodness...

so this morning i woke up, went to lunch with my mom & came home... not feeling too great. i was in sort of an off mood, and just kind of wanted to go back to bed. today was my first day of volunteering and i was pretty nervous. i always get neervous before i do something new. finally it was time to go so i got in the car and blasted some good 'ol christian music and got some good prayer time in.

on my way there three cars almost hit me - haha it was SO sad, thankfully they didn't! but oh my gosh, do you ever have one of those days where you just feel so emotional that any little thing will set you off? that definitely was how i felt this morning...

so i got to volunteering, and the second i got in there every nerve was gone and i felt completely overwhelmed with joy. i volunteer at a place that plans programs & tons of other fun things for children with down syndrome so that is who i was working with today - and let me tell you, these kids just completely touched my heart in so many ways today. if hearts could smile mine would have a huuuge grin on. honestly i think they do tons more for us than we do for them without even having to try :) it made me SO excited to be a special education major, and so thankful to be exactly where i was, where i am, where i'm going, etc.

i met the sweetest little girl ever, she was so attached to her grandmother who was there with her, and then i called her name from the other side of the room and she came running at me full speed with open arms. i can't wait to go back again and again and again.

i feel like God put me in that place at that time for a reason. gosh, what little blessings each and every one of those adorable little kids were for me today, and are always. i have been given such a gift by being able to spend time with them. :)
