Out of the mouth of babes...

This is a journaling dictated by my son in Oct of 2007. There are actually three entries in one.

Courage-by Cian Bailey (as dictated to Mom)

You ask me, "What is Courage?"

Courage is in yoour body. God gives you courage. If you don't have courage, you are in danger. It's liek a deer in hunting season. But, if you do have courage, you are a lion with a big feast of gazelles, elephant, and antelope. Courage is not umping into a cage of crocodiles. Courage is telling your freind that stealing is wrong when they take candy at the store. Courage is saying you're sorry when you do something wrong. Courage is goign where God wants you to, even if you don't understand. That's what courage is for me...

Like I said, out of the mouths of babes comes much wisdom...Actually Cian Andrew Bailey means "Keeper of ancient wisdom" or "Protector of Ancient wisdom." How awesome God knew exactly what name would fit him best...each hair on his head is counted and I praise God for the blessings poured upon my son! Praise God in His highest temples and His lowest valleys!

Sometimes I am...By Cian Bailey (as dictated to his Momma)

Sometimes I am...

...Angry like a lion. Roaring and gnashing my teeth.

...Happy like a baby monkey. Laughing, playing, and chattering with my friends.

...Sad like an egg in a nest. All alone I wait for my mama.

...Scared like a deer. Hiding in the shadows, listening for the sounds of evening.

...Frustrated like an alligator with no breakfast. Swimming and searching and crying.

...Calm like a butterfly drinking his nectar in a field of flowers.

...Wild like a baby cheetah. Pouncing, prancing and carrying-on.

And sometimes, I am me.


What equals Me By Cian Bailey (as dictated to Mom-very similar to "Sometimes I am...")

Sometimes I am scared as a lizard.
Sometimes I am brave asa shark searching for a meal in a sea of dolphins.
Sometimes I am happy as a butterfly.
Sometimes I am sad as a hound dog.
Sometimes I am lucky as a bird.
Sometimes I am unlucky as the bug.
And guess what?
Lizard+shark+butterfly+hound dog+bird+bug=ME!

I am proud and I think bias aside, I should be...don't you?
