So, today we were riding in the car and Damion said, "Mom, if God came down to earth and played hide and seek with me, do you think I could find Him?" and then he followed that up with, "Well, yes, because He is so big that I would have to see Him."
I love it! I love how he is thinking about God in such real terms to him. My kids LOVE playing hide and seek. They run around like crazy boys trying to hide, but trying to be found. They love trying to find me and won't stop until they do. Damion is on to something! I forgot that God is so big that I can find Him anywhere. I forgot that when I am hiding, He is seeking me! I forgot that I love being found! I remembered today that God is right here wanting to meet me right where I am, and it took my 6 year old to remind me just how amazing that is!
I love Jesus, my family, and people everywhere. I'm journeying with my incredible Pastor-hubby, and our 6 amazing(and wonderfully exhausting) kids! We don't just ride on the "hot mess express," we live on the "hot mess express." Anyone is welcome to ride along with us, but just a heads up, it can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Some days are wonderful, and some days are terrible, but I really just want to see Jesus every hour of every day. I know there are people who can relate, so join me?

Love that kid! Your kids always have the best things to say. Good job mom and dad for teaching them that we serve a big God! Isn't it weird how we all worry about what we need to teach our kids and forget that they also teach us!?! Natalie's prayer today was "Dear Jesus, (Long Pause) Don't Bite It. Amen" Not sure if there's a profound meaning behind that one, but at least she's talking to Him! HA!
