i said a prayer and fell asleep
i had a dream
priscilla ahn - dream
One of my first consistent baby-sitting jobs was for a sweet family with four little girls. Their first born was fair-skinned, talkative nine-year-old named Ellie. Nine year old Ellie loved to make me cards, and crafts, and signs, and mini-scrapbooks. Every single time I went to baby-sit I was greeted with a gallery of art made specifically for me. I loved these little girls. Sometimes when they went to bed I'd stay up and make crafts for them to find in the morning (once I think I even made a whole "good morning" scavenger hunt with clues!)

When I bought and began practicing with my darling Nikon D50, Ellie was curious. She'd long gotten used to me bringing over a point-and-shoot to take pictures of our adventures, but this new black camera had won her affection. She always wanted me to bring my big camera. She asked many questions. She posed for me. One night as we crafted away (and I held the newest Berry baby - their fifth girl!) Ellie and I talked about working together someday in business. At the time I thought I was just being nice to a friendly little girl I really loved, but it's funny how God allows conversations like that to occur. This past year Ellie has been my number one second-shooter. She's just as friendly and eager as she was as a child, but now she's a lady. She's a lady with a tender heart, daring plans and earned talent.
I love working with her, knowing her and enjoying this dear friend God put into my world. Ellie, thank you your friendship. I really mean that. And go have fun exploring the world with your black box, making brave decisions and living your life. You're going to have a ball.
