magnetic


magnetic [mag-net-ik] adjective

- exerting a strong attractive power
or charm: a magnetic personality.


alright so as long as I can remember - way back to when I was 5 years old - I have had a strong pull towards kids, doesn't really matter what age they are, if they are kids I know or strangers, they like me and I like them. My family use to call me the kid magnet. I just naturally go to kids no matter where I am (church, parties, work, coffee shops, etc.). I have always enjoyed this part of my life that the L-rd has blessed me with. Until the last couple of weeks. I will be honest having the little Wy-Guy go to heaven is super hard on me. I mean I love him and looked forward to hearing him say my name when I walked in the door from work. Playing with kids and getting close to them is so fun because then they like you more and interact with you more. However if the L-rd chooses to take them away from us then it is way hard. So I know that me being a kid magnet is not going to go away but I will admit I don't like playing that role right now. However I know that the L-rd has me as a kid magnetic for a reason so I will continue to fill those shoes and continue to play with the kids that are here and around me. I am just expressing that being a kid magnet is sometimes hard too.

losing wyatt blake is really hard on my heart - words cannot even really express my feelings. To be honest I really don't even know what to say. I do know that I miss him telling me stories and playing in my closet. He use to get so excited when I would be wearing orange (our favorite color) or anything with jayhawks on it. I do like to think that I did help with his love for the jayhawks. :) I do know this I will always remember that one of the last super sweet things he said to me was this "maase, papa is my buddy best friend, but you are my buddy best friend that is a girl"

welp that is all i got for now on my Wy-Guy there could be more later - who knows. here is one of the only pictures that I have of me with Wyatt. Also thanks for everyone who has been praying for the TBlakes.

that is a precious picture. we truly do not know the significance of the time we choose to invest in others... life is so fleeting. You are such a blessing to every person in your circle of influence. You invest so selflessly into the lives of people around you and it moves me. I love you Maas

It makes me so happy to think about how much you loved him and how much his life was better because of it. It's so precious how much he loved you! What a blessing that can never be taken away.
