"There is only one person in the whole wide world who can do anything. God. I am so thankful for God. He made my family. I am thankful for my family because they take care of me and love me so much! I am also thankful for God because he made my pet Leo. Leo is my very first pet. He has a white belly and the rest of his body is orange except for some of his face. I love Leo! Without God, Leo wouldn't exist!"
This is what I found in my daughter's memory book from this school year. I've been laying awake since 2am worrying- about money, and finally got up at 4. While the coffee was brewing, I emptied out the backpacks from the almost last day of school and started reading through my little people's writing projects from the year. And among them this: God speaking to me.
Matthew 6:25-34. Just listened to a sermon on this...no, it was a children's church lesson that I was facilitating! You of great faith, Sunday school teacher. (Maybe they should have some kind of screening questionnaire for people who teach kids at church?) I need to listen to those little people around me.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega-the beginning and the end"' says The Lord. (Rev.1:8) That's what Katherine was referring to. Now how can I believe it? Write it on my forehead, tuck it away in my heart? Live out some of these truth that I know? God can take care of our money problems.
"For I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me." (Jeremiah 29:11). I want to find you, hold on to you, and believe.
