David has this passion for movie making. I heard Steven Spielberg giving an interview once, and he said his parents encouraged his dreams. And I though of how the kids seem. And I wasn't sure how to encourage in this area, and if we wanted to. But you know the Lord has a funny way of pointing things out. I thought of how God made us each different. And if my kids are passionate about something, I should not just encourage, but should try to do anything in my power to help make it a reality for them. So last year, David got a kid sized video camera. Then he took Drama lessons. And now, he is already going around making movie ideas. I love how he really gets into this. I also had the joy of sharing what a collaboration was. This really made movie making more fun, when he realized his siblings could give him ideas to. this made for a fun and peaceful night of imagination. I am so thankful that each child was so different and could bring their own unique ideas to the fun. It really is a joy to watch how God works on something and it grows.
