The answer is no to video games, so they're jumping on the trampoline, up three feet in the air and down, letting the fabric cave under their weight. The oldest jumps off and runs toward the glass sliding door, saying, casually over his shoulder, “I'm going to play video games,” seeing if he can get away with it. I have to draw him back outside again. (I know. I'm such a mean babysitter, right?) Someone comes up with idea of music, so the two oldest rush inside to grab their tablets and now we're out on the trampoline watching them play a game while they're jumping. The game has funny music, apparently. And once again, I have to draw them away. During dinner, one runs downstairs to turn on the Xbox, just to “watch the video” at the beginning of his favorite video game, and we watch it from the table. And as much as I say no and to turn it off, they're drawn back to it again and again and again. Aren't we all like that, though? We're all drawn to things we can't have. Or the things that will draw you away from living fully in the moment. God wants us to live our life to all the potential that he's planned for us and if we're distracted by unsubstantial things, we miss what plans God has for us. So, I guess, what I'm trying to say is, don't be distracted by the shallow things this world has to give. Keep your eyes on making an impact in people's lifes and making the world a better place. Don't believe them when they say, "You're just a fool....to believe you can change the world."

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
