Life Of A Seven Year Old

Well, sorry I haven't been able to post on this in so long. Life has literally been crazy. What is it about this time of year? But anyways, I have had the wonderful opportunity to go home this weekend, and what a blessing it has been. I've always prayed that the Lord would give me the opportunity to minister to my family. Over the past year, the Lord has really changed my heart. It's kinda crazy when I look back to the beginning of this year until now. Blows my mind actually. Anyways, this morning I woke up and had breakfast and I got to pray with my little brother. What a blessing!! Kids are so open to God's Word. I also got to read Job to him and share the story with him. I tried my hardest to relate to him in today's terms..cause let's face it..losing cattle isn't probably an issue to a seven year old. So I told him that in today's times Job would've lost all his video games and sports balls and other things that I can't remember that I added. I went on to say that although Job did ask why, he never forsook Job or left him. The Lord was sovereign and always there. At the end of telling him this story, I asked my little brother what he got out of it, and he said "even though Job lost all of his video games, he still loved Jesus." It basically melted my heart. It's true though. We lose so much in this life. I know I've lost friends, love, family, and so much more, but when you look back you can see God's hand all over every situation. It's hard, but we must remember that God is sovereign. With the election decision especially, we need to remember this. Even though I'm not too happy about it, we are God's Children. In 1 John 2, the first words that the Lord calls us are his "little children" and we are and need to have the faith of a child. I remember when I was a kid, I trusted everything that my parents told me or really anybody. Why can't we be like that with Jesus? I know that I definitely am not there yet, and am still learning. We just need to have the trust and joy of a seven year old. As you go throughout today, is there anything that you're not giving completely to Jesus because of trust issues? If so, change that today!





I also have had some GREAT photo shoots over the past week!! So here's just some pictures to share!
