"Goodnight, Anna!  I love you so much."
"I love you more... I love you to the stars and back."
"I love you to the stars and back... but, Anna, I don't love you as much as I love Jesus.  I love Jesus, like... to the sun and down."
"Wow, that's a long ways, Cora!  I'm so glad you love Him that much."
...
"Anna, are stars bigger than Jesus?"
*nod my head*
"Anna, are whales bigger than Jesus?"
"Nope!"
"Wow.  I wish I was bigger than a whale, so that whales couldn't pick me up... so whales can't pick up Jesus?"
*nod my head once again*  "No, Cora, remember - God can be everywhere at the same time!  He made the stars and the whales!" 
"Well, I'm glad I'm not Jesus.  I wouldn't want to be a giant."

I'm glad I'm not Jesus.  How I love kids. =D  And boy, do they have their own way of teaching you (it's not called "the faith of a child" for nothing)!  The thoughts that ran through my head that night?  "She's SO RIGHT!"  My God is a BIG God.  Yes, I've got a God who can be everywhere at the same time.  I've got a God who can be in Heaven, hover over the earth, and reside in my heart all at once.  I've got a God who can "send lightning bolts on their way" and "snow from their storehouses", who can "bring forth the constellations in their seasons", and "shape the earth like clay under a seal"!  I've got a God who can do some pretty amazing life-changing work in the hearts of men - in mine!  My God is the very one who "gave understanding to the mind" and "endowed the heart with wisdom".

I forget just WHO my God is way too often.  I'm more blessed than I know...
'Cause I've got a God... ohhh, yes - my God?  He's more than all that.  I've got a God who's bigger than a whale! ;-)

This was good for me to read today... Advice for living life at home as an adult? This can be a great thing or it can be a horrible thing. What's really unfortunate about the whole topic is that there is this crowd of homeschoolers out there that has almost ruined the reputation of us "still-at-home-after-highschool" ers. When I say ruined our reputation, I mean ruined the way people as a whole think about young people living at home/not going away to the typical 4yr degree, secular college deal. They've almost ruined it because there is a large number of graduated girls (and guys, but we're just talking about the girls here so I won't get started on the guy problem) who do nothing but wash laundry, make dinner, and browse the web. Now, I'm not saying those things are bad. (I do each of them!) But if that's all you're doing there is a serious problem. I've seen way too many girls who have done that. You will look back year...

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

"I urge you, brother, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites." (Rom. 16:17, 18) How's my appetite?   Am I hungry for His Word, thirsting for time in His presence?? Desiring "meaty" teaching, and ready to eat what He puts before me?  I don't want to be one of "those who cause divisions" or one who is a walking obstacle for others beside me in the road of life... simply because of my change of appetite. Hungry for the world, and the things of it. Desiring to please myself, in place of the Lord.  Jesus, make me a JOY to be around because of what you are in me!  Don't let me fall into a place where others must "keep away from" because of my short-fallings, so that they may keep from the temptation of doing the same.  Be the constant change I need in my life...
