Thoughts from a quiet hallway...

As I was walking the halls this Sunday with my noisy little Jack he discovered the drinking fountain. He had his favorite toy- my keys - in one hand and was turning on the water with the other. I was watching him trying to get the water with the same hand he was using to turn the fountain on- so of course everytime he reached for the water the fountain turned off- it was quite humorous. He is a persistent little boy so we were there for awhile. As I was watching him I thought about how many times I hold onto things in my life and then wonder why I sometimes feel that I'm not fully immersed in the "living waters" aka the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is somehow comforting to hold onto those things and really scary to let go of it all and rely on my faith in our Savior. I'm hoping to someday get out of my toddler stage in the ways of the gospel and actually become an adult!
