Have you noticed how when your child starts school, he/she deems it necessary to tell his/her preschool teacher everything and anything that happens in his/her life?Bunny girl and I shared this conversation on our drive back home after school one warm afternoon, late in September.
BG: Mama I told Miss G I was going to have a baby
Thankfully I understand what Bunny girl means when she says she is having a baby...clearly she means WE are having a baby.
Me: Did you say we were going to have a baby or we were praying for a baby?
BG: I said we were going to have a baby
Drive drive drive...think think think.....
Me: But baby you should have said we are praying for a baby right?
BG: No Mama. We ARE going to have a baby.
I could see Bunny girl didn't want to discuss this further and I...well.... didn't know what to say.
For Bunny girl's sake I really hoped God would hear the sincerity in her prayers, the yearning to have a sibling and that He'd honor the faith and trust she had that her God WOULD answer.
Will God answer?........Stay tuned to read more!

ReplyDeleteThe faith of a child, right?
ReplyDeleteMy boys haven't told their teacher things like that yet- but my oldest did once tell his teacher that he had to sleep on the floor until his parents had enough money to buy him a bed! What really happened was that he decided he was too big for his toddler bed and was going to sleep on the floor in protest until we bought him a big bed- and I told him that he'd have to wait a little bit because they were expensive(and he still fit in his toddler bed just fine), but I was so mortified when he said that!
That is the best faith I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are killing me with these posts, I get up everyday to check!
Merry SITSmas!
ReplyDeletehow sweet out of the mouths of babes
ReplyDeleteI hope her prayers are answered in that department. Mine were not answered in the affirmative when I wanted a baby brother when I was little. I did have an older brother, but I wanted a little brother too. I didn't like my sisters all that well then. Now I really love and appreciate my younger sister. Yet me and my older sister push each others buttons, so we've agreed to stay away from each other if at all possible. I think my older sister got mad at me when I decided to get married. I think she thought I'd always stay single and move in with her.
ReplyDeleteshe has such conviction for a little girl! I hope her prayers have been answered!!!
