profound words.

i babysat zack tonight. he's one of the best kids on the planet. i was his first babysitter, right after he got off the plane from india, so we've got a really special connection.

i love zack for countless reasons. he is a smart kid, even if he isn't school-smart. he is the sweetest thing, and such an affectionate person, always wanting to know things about you.

tonight we were talking about how i used to sing with the worship band on sundays and how he'd like to see me up there. i told him i don't do that anymore, and he said that's okay; he likes me for me, not for my voice.

that's the most amazing thing i think anyone's ever said to me, and he's eight. i just really appreciate that. i mean, a lot of people don't know me. they just know my voice. it's just so nice to be loved for me.

Jesus, thank You for zachary. You've created such an amazing boy in him. give him sweet sleep tonight. thank You for bringing him into my life and for making Yourself known to him at such an early age. bless him greatly in his life.
