Ahhhh, Friday night, it is so nice to see you! Many of you are excited for "Friday night lights" my nephew is playing in Wisconsin where they (good luck Ethan) lives and my sister said she would have to dig out her jacket as it is pretty chilly there! It will be cool and damp for our high school boys here in Utah and I read on several facebook posts that it will still be muggy and warm in Texas! It would be nice to hear something different out of my home state! I am still praying for a good ground soaking, garden nourishing rain;)
My little g-baby, Dakota, has been on a temper brigade the last couple of weeks, she is just into everything with no regard to who it belongs to, she has been having screaming fits, has stopped listening to anyone but me her MIMI. Yesterday she once again ruined something of her mothers and then threw a fit because her dad would not take her for play time and ice cream at McDonald's. I was called in, and when I am called in she gets all wide eyed and ducks her head not wanting me to know what she is doing! I got her up into my lap and asked her why she was doing the things she is doing, she ducked her head and said she did not want to tell me "cause" I might be mad at her. I explained that I would not be mad if she told me the truth...she went on to say " my actions tell me what to do, they tell me to get into things and make messes...I don't know what to do with my actions...they get inside of me and make me get in trouble..." I told her that she was in control of her body and that if she continued to let her actions tell her what to do she would continue to take the fall for them. we talked a bit more and I told her that evidently her actions were really mean, that she needed to tell her actions to get away from her when they wanted her to do bad things...I then told her that if she had God in her body there would be no room for the impish "actions" to go in and have her do things. I told her that God only does good things and that he would help her to do good things as well! It was as if a light went on somewhere in the little devious head of hers and she said "MIMI, can I ask God to come into my body?" I told her of course she could...she then walked away from me, looked up to the sky and said..."God, could I ask you a favor? Would you come into my body so that there is no room for the impish actions to fit? In Jesus name I ask you this special favor, just for me...amen" I felt so very touched that she had no question as to if God could do it, only wanted to know if he would grant her this favor! I love her so much, she is so trusting and she love, love, loves God. A while back we had to ask God to put his nighttime shield around her so that she would be able to sleep in her room by herself as she now is a schoolgirl! It has worked wonderfully and she has slept in her room each and every night! After she asked God to come into her so there was not room for the impish actions, her behaviors were spot on! She was so well mannered yesterday and the report I get today is that she has not gotten in to anything and has been very very well behaved. Praise God for answering her "favor"
We could all take a lesson or twenty from children, there is no question as to whether God is real or not, there is no question as to his intentions with us, they trust him without condition and they never question him! I ask that this night we all might be like children, let our nagging questions go and just believe!!!! Love in Christ to each of you, in name of Christ I ask God to hold and heal those in need, to financially assit those in loss, comfort those in greif and to love us as always!
