Sometimes I Wish...


-Sometimes I wish that you were a little less determined, BUT then I remember how my own determination has helped me stick in hard places, and remain faithful to my commitments when I'd rather bail. Your determination can serve you well.
-Sometimes I wish that you would sit quietly all day and entertain yourself, BUT then I would miss your happy dances, the stories you tell me, your smiles and excitement.
-Sometimes I wish you weren't so independent, BUT lets face it MK's have to be. Their parents often have a lot of responsibility and I know I will appreciate all you can do in the future.
-Sometimes I wish you weren't so extroverted, BUT then people would miss out on all your smiles and friendly conversation.
-Sometimes I wish you were less of a leader, BUT I think God has BIG plans for you and this is part of it.
So, even though you don't fit the expected child profile (esp. here in Asia!!!), I wouldn't change who you are for all the money in the world. We hope we can train you up to use these traits as strengths and use them in service to the people of the world.
