Anyway, as of sunday I'm 24 years old. I finally got a disneyland season pass that I've wanted since my sophomore year..... 4-5 years ago. I honestly love disneyland fireworks. Going there with a few of my favorite brothers and sisters reminded me that I'm not that old! Haha at least in my mind and somewhat in my heart. I honestly know how the fantasmic show and the fireworks mechanically and electronically work but it still feels magical in my heart. Maybe I'm just not there yet, but I still love hanging out and playing games and playing sports and watching movies (especially kid movies), eating sweets, and staying up late. Not much has changed huh? Haha.
My childlike tendencies got me thinking about Matt 18:3-4. How I must be like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven. I believe the major point that Christ is trying to convey here is found in vs. 4, key word "humbles." A child is totally dependent on their parents. So too we need to be dependent on our Father in heaven. Literally, we must be dependent to enter the kingdom.
Though, I was thinking of other reasons to be "childlike." Granted, in 1 Cor 13:11 we are told to not be like children (mostly referring to maturity). But I think, just in this stage of life, I struggle to not be an adult in the sense that I worry. It's so characteristic of adults that I want to be childlike and care free. Not irresponsible for sure, but I can be responsible and not worry about tomorrow. I know that God provides so why worry about getting paid more, why worry about owning a home or a car, why worry about well... anything? It's all in God's hands. This year has helped me realize God's sovereignty and the beauty of it. I'm not in control of everything. And like a child, I don't care (that much, I still got some work to do)
Age is just a number, I still like to play ^^
