Today was Grandparent's Day at our girl's school. Mom and I went and it was adorable. They asked for photos and had a cute little slide show, a skit, songs and breakfast. Our girl was so excited to see her pictures show up on the screen. Her excitement on so many things makes me heart smile.
Tonight we were getting ready for bed and our girl cam running in telling me that she was scared and didn't want to sleep in her room. After talking through everything she was worried about the clowns that are around town and hitting the schools. Talk on the bus today was about the clowns. After talking to her about everything we continued with our nightly routine, include our devo from Jesus Today. My awesome Village Girls gave this to me before we met our girl. I have to tell you this book was written for us. So many nights the devo is written for exactly what is going on in our day. Tonight's devo was about turning your fear and worry over to God. This is a small thing, but seeing her face light up as we were reading just after talking about this very thing. Thank you Lord for working and giving us an example of how you work. I can't tell you how many times God has done things like this. God continue to amaze me with our girl. I wish I could talk to everyone about how God is working and answering prayers. Maybe one day I will put something together, right now you will just have to settle for my thoughts.
This event was too cute/amazing not to share. At the end of last year our children's minsters daughter (who is adopted) came running up to me and asked me where my daughter was? (This was while we were waiting to find out what was happening with Susan) I told Juliet we didn't have a daughter. She told me that we did, she dreamed about playing with her. I told Juliet to go find her and bring her to me, she ran off to find her. I thought it was a strange and painful (at the time) conversation. Fast forward to this past Sunday. Juliet came running down the isle quietly screaming our girls name. She slide in to sit with her. God used Juliet to speak to me when I didn't want to hear it. I wish she was a little older so I could sit and ask her about the girl she dreamed about.
Here is the point...God is amazing, God is faithful, God works in His own timing. Don't ever think that something He is doing is too small.
