Praying for Mommy

Samuel -
My little prophet through whom God already speaks so powerfully...

He prayed for me last night and prayed that I would be able to not fight with Daddy and that I would basically be able to trust God with the food issue.

Thank You Jesus.  You know I need my children's prayers and the amazing ways they minister to me already!

My Child Wise Beyond His Years

Yesterday when we were packing up to leave from the cabin where we were staying with Papa Jim and Nana for the week, I couldn't find one of Jeremiah's shoes anywhere.  After searching high and low for a good 15 minutes or more, including having the children scour everywhere, I finally gave up and just hoped it was in our stuff somewhere.  Finally right before we left, my mom found it behind the washer and dryer. Of all the places!  And just in the nick of time!

On the drive home, Samuel so sweetly and cutely began to tell me how he thought he knew what God was doing.  He basically explained how God wanted us to stop trying to do it ourselves and to wait on Him and trust in Him and let Him do it.  What a wise young man I already have on my hands at the young age of 5 1/2.

Thank You Lord for this voice of wisdom already in my life.
