Feeling Small (and that's a good thing)

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall."

There are times, where being big seems like a bad thing.  Hard falls wouldn't be much fun.  Given such, finding yourself small can feel pretty good.

I've recently felt small.  Every time someone asks me for an adoption update and tells me how they have been praying, I feel a little smaller.  I feel more awesome as well, but I realize, there are more people aware, involved, and invested that just me.  My part shrinks a little.

When we get e-mails, phone calls, or mail that someone is donating money, it makes me feel smaller.  Another role in the story is being played by someone else.  And my part shrinks a little.

And while my investment doesn't shrink, and my heart actually grows in the process, I find myself feeling less likely to suffer a hard fall.

Sometimes I like feeling small.
