One of the many things that is taking a hold of my heart from the Lifestyle of Learning teachings is the value of taking an interest in what interests our children.
Tiana has been wanting me to run with her. She has told me that she feels like her legs need to move and she needs to run. Last summer I ran with her a couple of times in the neighborhood and ended up throwing in the towel, deciding running wasn't my thing, not gonna do it ever again. But it seems that the Lord has recently gotten a hold of my heart and led me to actually want to run with Tiana. It has helped that the school next door has put in a running track so that she can run at her pace... far - far ahead of me. Another motivating factor is that my body is showing symptom that it is in need of some form of exercise. I am looking forward to both the relational and physical benefits of taking up this particular interest of Tiana's.
