Growing up, I went to all of my mom's nanny-ing job — even before I was physically born. I was born and raised around kids constantly. And as an only child, that was nice.

It was as if I had a bunch of different siblings; at first, a bunch of older ones, and eventually, some younger. I always loved having someone to play with and grow up with.

It also instilled in me a way to discipline kids. I was disciplined when I misbehaved, I watched the kids my mom watched be disciplined; I learned that discipline isn't always a bad thing.

There's a line between too much and not enough, and I personally think how I grew up and was raised was just enough of each. As it says in Proverbs 13:24, "Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him."

I grew up with a mom who was a nanny and many, many "siblings" who came and went. As we moved on from that chapter in our lives, I always stayed very close with children.

I was constantly babysitting and volunteering at every Vacation Bible School I could when I was finally old enough. Children have always had a big part of my life, and I personally think that God has put that all in my life to prepare me for the calling He has on my life.

I suspected a few years ago that God was calling me to do something with kids, but I didn't know what exactly. I always wanted to be a first-grade teacher when I was younger, and then as I reached eighth grade I thought I'd be better there.

Then, in high school, I didn't want to be a teacher anymore, but I thought if I was going to work with any grade, it would be high school level. I thought maybe I'd become a youth leader one day down the road if that's where God is leading me.

Through the children I've grown up with, the children I lead in VBS and those younger than me in youth group, I see how God is shaping me to one day be a mother. I've never been the kind of person who wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or in an office all day, even if all my friends did.

I always wanted to raise my own children and watch them grow. I am so thankful that God has begun to open my eyes to that and that He's given me a heart for children, teenagers and just people overall.

To all the women out there who want to run businesses, be doctors and fight the law, I applaud, and I support you. I will be cheering you on from my house. Because I do admit, I would love to have my own business as well — if I could run it from home with my kids, that is.

I can't wait to have children of my own and to raise them. I can't wait to watch them grow in Jesus and to spend every day getting to take care of them. God has given me a heart bigger than I knew what to do with, so I'm thankful He has a plan for how to use it.
