Aww tonight something so special happened. Johnathan and I were talking and he told me he wanted to get his ears pierced and I said no. So he tells me when he is grown he is going to. Well I know I need to pick my battles with that little brother of yours so I just said that's fine...if you want to disappoint Jesus just go right ahead and then I dropped it. I figured I had plenty of time to pray the Lord would change his mind. And some things just aren't worth fighting with a 9 year old over. So I go about my business of cleaning house and I heart music start playing in the living room. Johnathan is watching/listening to a tape called Worship Point and the song that's playing is "Hunger for You". The main chorus goes like this...
Lord, I hunger for you; O Father, draw me close to you. Let me feel the beating of your heart. And now, more than anything, I need more of you and less of me; Fill me up till I’m consumed by you. I walk into the living room and he's down on his knees at the coffee table praying. I leave him there and go on doing what I'm doing. In a little while I come back through and he's sitting on the couch wipeing tears from his face and I asked him what he was praying for. You know...so I could help him pray if he wanted me to. He said Mama I was just asking Jesus to help me do what is right. I'm not going to do what I said I was when I'm grown cause I don't want to make Jesus unhappy. Talk about a Mama's heart swelling with pride (the good kind). I told him Jesus is so proud of you and so am I. And then we talked about what we had earlier and all is well.
I pray he will always have a tender heart for the Lord and seek to please him in all he does. |
I did get my birthday graphic from (bjwb) and that made me feel better. I just love you and miss you so much. 
Finally I told him to stop cause I can't stand to be tickled. Then I asked him...why don't you get your 
Don't be asking Jesus to make my leg fall off...he might do it!
He said but Mama you told me to cut it off so I was asking Jesus to.
