my word

read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8

Thoughts on Children

So I started working at this daycare in Iowa 2 Thursdays ago(May 26) since then i've had many thoughts regarding children and have yet to write one down r even share them with any one.

God asks us to be like children right. Because we are children, so what does that mean?

- babies love to be held
- when you set them down they start to cry again
- they rely on someone to feed them (parents)
- easy to entertain
- colors and noises and movement are favorites
- eat small pieces

among others, but how can we apply these to our own lives

- being held by God should be the best thing ever.
- we cry because we think that God(our parent) doesn't love us anymore and is leaving us, but in reality God will never leave us and he will always love us
- We can't survive with out God to feed us with the holy Spirit, with wisdom. it's something we cry(pray) for and can't ever get on our own
- we should just be thankful for what God has put before us, it may just be a little red ball but there is so much you can do with a little red ball. No really look at the skills God has given you, he gave them to you for a reason.
- All I've got to say is thunderstorms, rainbows, flowers, waterfalls, mountains, animals, sun, stars. These are things God gave us for enjoyment
- God teaches you and gives you wisdom a little at a time otherwise you would choke, think about it? Imagine the hardest lesson you've learned recently and then back to one of your first lessons that at the time you thought was really hard. The suffering gets harder, atleast for me because God teaches us more and strengthens us more through time not all at once. That is why he says he is perfecting us.

I have more but that is all for now

We ARE Children of God
