The girl is freakin hilarious!!
At dinner, when opening her Pirates of the Carribbean Happy Meal, she says "I just don't understand why they put a movie on this box that I can't even go see!" She then proceded to put on her "toy"... a fake do rag. She was quite the scene at the McD's.
The cool thing right now, though, is that she's living the Gospel, and she doesn't even know it. You see, what Kells Bells wants more than anything for her birthday is an iPod. In her brain, that's the biggest, coolest, awesomest gift she could get. That's how we walk around living. We walk around thinking about God and heaven, and making Him into this thing we can understand.
The thing is, for her birthday, her mom bought her a plane ticket to Chicago, and a trip to the American Girl store there. She'll ride on her first airplane. She'll get to her deluxe hotel, have a bed and robe for her American Girl doll. She'll get to order room service (thanks to her daddy, who loves her more than I've seen any man love a little girl). She'll get to go have lunch at the store, and shop to her heart's content. And then ride on a plane home. Much cooler than an iPod. But she doesn't know it yet.
God has made a place for us, and no matter what our little brains can conjur up, His way is so much more fantastic! We just must have faith that our father will do something well beyond our wildest imaginations! How awesome!!!
I think about that a lot in my single life. My friend A is married to what seems to be in my head the perfect guy E. They have a charmed life in my view. They are perfectly suited to each other. The thing I have to remind myself, though, is that if the guy that's made for her is that fabulous, how much more fabulous is the guy that God made for me?
Why would I ask for an iPod when I could have a fabulous trip to Chicago?
