From time to time, we ask our kids the same question most parents do… “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
We were talking to our kids tonight, and asked that question of Jenna. Her answer cracked me up.
Why?
Jenna said, “I want to be a pastor!”
So much for our standing as good Southern Baptists… 🙂
For the record, Jenna is 3 years old, and she doesn’t understand the complexities of why our confession of faith, the BF&M 2000, would prohibit her from doing what she wants to do. In fact, when asked just what it is that pastors really do, she said, “Pastors drive cars to the city!”
And here I thought we were raising a little girl that loves Jesus so much she wants to serve Him in a powerful way. Turns out, we’ve just got another truck driver on our hands… 🙂
You just never know what children will come up with to say!
I hope you continue to ask your children that question as they grow closer to being adults. I wish my parents did because I would’ve got an early start on things.
