There's nothing more exciting than those moments when you discover that your child "gets it." You know, those days when you overhear your child talking about God or praying when you're not around. Lately, Dear Husband and I have been in awe of what God is doing in the life of our 4 year old. Hallelujah! What a change we're seeing in our formerly strong-willed son!
In addition to being very vocal about his faith lately, my son has also been on a spiritual high ever since his week at Vacation Bible School. Not only has he been vary conscientious of his need to obey, but he's also been very quick to repent for those moments where, as he describes, "I had a dirty heart."
It's been so fun to hear our oldest tell his little brother about the lessons that he's been learning. One night we even caught him teaching his brother the slogan that they learned at Bible school. We overheard the two boys saying "Facing fears, trusting God" over and over again until the little one figured out the hand motions. Later, as the boys were playing with their medieval castle and their knights, one of the boys told their daddy that the knight had just saved his wife, the Queen, from the Philistines. My son quickly explained that the knight wasn't afraid of the Philistines, because he trusted God! I was truly amazed at this statement. Not only are my boys memorizing biblical truths, but they're even understanding the application of those truths.
In the midst of all the craziness that comes with moving, changing jobs (Dear Husband starts working for a new law firm on the same day that we close on our house), parenting, homeschooling, and everything else we do, it's so great to see that God is not only working in our lives. He's also at work in the lives of our kids. How awesome!
