Rainbows, Teddy Bears and Unicorns

Anybody who knows me, knows that I'm generally a pretty happy person. My friend at work calls me "little miss Sunshine" all the time. James has called my his Sunshine for as long as I can remember. And to put it nicely, I'm a tad on the side of naive or innocent. I guess I have lived a pretty sheltered life. I grew up in church, saved at the age of 5 and baptised at 7. They didn't usually baptise kids that young, but after speaking with the children's Pastor, he told my parents that I really knew what I was doing. I have had an amazing relationship with God my entire life. I was also a PK. Nothing like having your father as your Youth Pastor. I loved it! But I was not usually invited to the parties. For Sure! My Parents were amazing examples and I never once felt like the ministry was more important than our family. So I never really felt the need to rebel. I definitely had a healthy fear of both God and my Father!

So a few months back I was sitting around talking with James and our good friends Scott and Katie. I have no idea how the topic of me and my eternal innocence came up, but the next thing I know James and Katie are pretty much saying that my life can be summed up in Rainbows, Teddy Bears and Unicorns and strolling down Candy Cane Lane. Everyone found this extremely funny, except me. I can tell you for a fact, I have never once given much thought to unicorns! But I guess that's beside the point.

The point is, it has stuck. I get reminded of this quite often! But I'm okay with it. Who cares if I am perceived as "Lil' Miss Innocent". I am very happy with the life I have lived. In these days and times, I feel like that I have taken the "road less traveled". And I do believe that has made ALL the difference.
