To say that I was weary in well doing would be an understatement. For the past two weeks John and I have been going and going. In case you have missed it. I am not pink and fluffy, and don’t walk around beating a drum. Although some may say I do have big floppy ears ? It had come to the point of non stop going that while driving the girls to school on Thursday and Emma said when is all of this going to stop? I said what? She said “This moving around. I don’t even get to play with my pet shops anymore.” Out the mouth of babes! In my minds eye I could see her pet shop toys lined up in silent protest. Waiting to pounce on her when she entered her room!
Having said the above I determined that this weekend we would be at home and get the house done and laundry caught up (does that ever happen)? It is now Monday and I still have both of the girl’s rooms and the playroom to do :)
Sunday Evening was an incredible service. We were singing that song and the presence of the Lord swept in like a flood. We prayed and cried, and worshiped and bathed in His Glory. In the latter part of the service there was a hush and the Lord ministered through tongues and interpretation. After this, my 7 year old Seanna came to the back of the church and started praying for. She began saying “God, just bless my Mama, give her strength, help her, I love her so much.” Etc. Words can’t describe the strength that brought me. It was like the most overwhelming flood of grate fullness to God I have experienced. I have had Lee Stoneking, Billy Cole, and several other “name brand” preachers pray over me and even prophecy over me, but there is nothing like your child praying for you.
I sat humbled in his presence. Today I can hardly even type about it as it is so fresh and precious.
On the Lighter Side
On the way home Emma my 5 year old told me she wanted to go home and pray…. and get this “Holy Ghost” thing done with. She said “I have used tissues and cried and felt Jesus and I need to just do this”. She said that she wanted to go home, and take off her tights and her high heels (Mary Janes with diamond clasps) and pray in the office. So that is what we did. She and the whole family prayed for a good 10 minutes. She did get with it, and cried and told the Lord she needed the Holy Ghost Now. :)She suddenly stopped and said “That is enough for tonight” she needed a snack. I struggled not to laugh. As I made her a snack she told me it was going to be any day now….she had tears again.
I can only agree with the scripture that says “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth” III John 4
Walk on girls…May HE always lead you!!
