{day three |when i grow up| }

"When I grow up I want to be just like you..." Bro. Hector says. 

He says this whenever he finds out something new, neat, or admirable about someone. I think it kind of sums up who I want to be when I finish growing up one of these days. A culmination of a whole bunch of people.

The humility of Bro. Hector.

The faith of Bro. Jarvis.

The joy of Mr. Lenington. 

The love of my siblings.

A servant's heart like my grandma. 

The smarts about cars like Mr. Mechanic Man. 

Knowing a little bit about everything like my Dad.

The quiet spirit of Mrs. Ofelia.

The prayer life of my Ma.

An outlook on the unlovely like Mr. Vinnie.

The hard-working attitude of Miss Mia.

The generosity of Pastor Nate.

Seeking God's will for my life like Susanna Louise. 

I'm sure I could probably sit all day and think of more people I want to be like. But my battery is almost dead and we have a wedding to go to in a little while. So I'll stop now. 

Who do you want to be like as you grow up? I've heard it said you never stop growing until you die, as long as you're learning. You character can grow as big as it wants; just make sure you're feeding it the right things.
