“Elmo Street” Live

Today we went to see Elmo in concert and it was sooo much fun! It was called Elmo Grows Up, but Ethn called it “Elmo Street”. I think that I had the most fun watching Ethan’s face light up when he saw Elmo come out onto the stage. When I asked Ethan what did he want to be when he grows up he said, “I want to grow up to dance on that stage…” He is so cute.

The overview of the concert was Pricilla was having a pagent on Sesame Street about what everyone wanted to be when they grew up. Each character came out and said what they wanted to be except Elmo wasn’t sure. Grover wanted to be a police officer, Cookie monster wanted to be a fire fighter, Telly wanted to be a cowboy, BAby Bear wanted to be a Railroad Conducter… you get the point. Elmo said that he wanted to do everything and he realized at the end that was going to be a problem. Big Bird finally told him that he didnt have to know what he wanted to be right away, just to be who he is today. Elmo decided that today, he just wanted to be a kid (ironic cause he is actually a monster… haha!) Very cute!!!

I began to think about it later and thought, so many times in our lives we try and be eveything and God is telling us to just be who we are today!! If Joseph would have tried to hurry up the process of his time in jail, or even escape, God could not have blessed him to be head of the Palace and see his brothers again. He lived fearless for the kingdom, unafraid of what people might do to him, but confidence that his Lord would fufill His word. He interpreted the dreams that God had given them even though he could have been killed or beaten. Fearless!!!!So cool!! 

Believe!

By the way… I do not want to forget to mention how amazing Cami is for getting us the tickets for free!! Thank you so much, words cannot describe how much you blessed us!! (especially Ethan) Thank you and We LOVE YOU!!!!
