Knock Knock

Knock Knock!

Please come in, I hear from inside the little cottage!

I just smile and my heart is beyond full of joy, when I hear my girls say, come on in Mommy, I'm making dinner, or taking care of the baby!! This would be while they are busy playing in their (new to them) play house!








So they are busy at work, oops I mean playing in their precious house! As I sit back and watch them mock what they see at home, it makes me proud that they have learned at such an early age, that we serve an awesome God! I love to hear the two of them just talking about what God says, even if it is it is several scriptures or messages arranged together! It is still God's word! But more importantly, it really as me thinking about how two sweet innocent children are spreading the light of Christ! And it's all because Daddy and I made a decision to serve our Lord, early on, therefore they have only been taught this way.
"As For Me and My House We Will Serve the Lord" ~ Joshua 24:15


Here's a recent conversation with Lil E and myself ~

Lil E "Mommy, when I turn 6, I am getting a tiny baby brother. He is going to be so tiny and sweet!"

Me "honey, mommy can't promise you another baby. It is not up to me, It's up to God"

Lil E "Well Mommy, God gives us what we ask for, and I'm want a tiny baby brother!" (with determination in her voice, i might add)

Me "Oh sweetie, you know it's not always that easy. I don't want you to get your hopes up. Mommy's babies come in a very special way, God give them to us through adoption, but I can't ever promise anything." (again, what did I just say to her, God gives them to us!)

Lil E "I am going to get us a tiny baby, he is going to be so tiny, not a big baby like sissy was! she wasn't very tiny, she was already near grown up!" (I'm trying to fight back the tears, but then I just out laughing about Lil K being near grown up!)

Me "E, I know she was a big baby, but she is our baby! And I can't promise you a baby!"

Lil E "I'm going to ask God again, he knows that is what I am getting when I am six"

Me "sweetie, sometimes God can't always give us what we want, he knows best, and we have to just see"

Lil E "Well if God wont, I'll just talk to Jesus!" (as matter of fact as any near 6 year old can be)


Wow, talk about a little determination and some major faith in God! WOW! If we all just had a 10th of that Faith, where would we be! I know If I had as much faith, I know that I'd sure be in a much better place! I'd not be questioning things I don't know or understand so much! Now yes, I have a lot of faith, and I trust God more than I do anyone! But would I trust him enough to just say, he will be bringing me another baby without any facts or something sound to back it up! I don't think so. Even though it is only by the Arms of God that I have been blessed with my beautiful girls. He made the way, opened every door, closed doors in other situations, so that both adoptions went through in his timing! So would have that much faith, even though I am told to.....

So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. ~ Matthew 18:4


For me, I am going to do my best to be like a child, just like my sweet Lil E and trust God has the plan and the way without questioning or looking for a fact to back anything up! I am going to work to grow my Faith! I want more faith than a mustard seed, I want more than a 10th of the faith Lil E has! I wan to be busting out with FAITH!!!! So this is my goal! Less stress, because it's all in the hands and plans of God, My Heavenly Father!

If you do not know Christ as your Lord, it's as simple as a simple knock, like the one I give on the girls play house door! All you need to do is Ask him, and he will come to you! How much greater could that be? It's the BEST!

I am truly blessed and therefore, I am so thankful!!!! What a wonderful life I have!!

Hugs and Blessings,

What a cute conversation! We're still not at that point yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
By the way... That meatloaf recipe was wonderful! It's going in my recipe file for sure! I passed it along to my mom (my dad's real picky about meatloaf) and Ricky says he'll pass it on to his dad too. Thanks for sending it to me!
