I think we’re getting closer and closer to Chance praying THE PRAYER.
Tonight, before bed (at my Mom’s house in Seattle), I told him the story of how young David slayed Goliath because he allowed God to do BIG things through his little body.
After the story, Chance and I had this conversation:
Chance: ”Did little David kill the bad giant because God helped him?”
Me: ”Yes, but what’s even better is God chose to use little David for His BIG plan. See, Chance, even though you are little, you can do really BIG things for God if you ask for His help.”
CH: ”Yes… I think I want to ask God to help me do BIG things.”
Me: ”You know what, Chance?”
CH: ”What???”
Me: ”Mommy believes that God is going to do some really incredible things through you in your lifetime.”
CH: ”You do???”
Me: ”Yes!”
*** PAUSE ***
CH: ”Mommy… I believe that too.”
That was a good INCREDIBLE moment in my life. I will NEVER forget it.
what a beautiful moment
Oh, I think just reading that was pretty incredible for me. With all the growing I want to do in Christ, sometimes I think I’d get a lot farther if I just remembered to believe more simply like Chance just did.
Ahem… you’re in Seattle? Are you going to stop by and see us? Please?!
Micah prayed that special prayer this summer. What a beautiful thing to hear.
Some of my favourite memories of my niece and nephew (now 7 & 4) growing up have been them praying ‘the prayer’. Even when it’s just been relayed to me over the phone by their mum. Beautiful
Kids know so much more than we do, about God. If we take the time to listen let them, they will share what they know.
Your a few weeks early in Seattle! We’re going to be there soon for my little brothers wedding…

You’re doing a great job with Chance! Godly parents = Godly kids.
Love you.
That is precious Jenni! Mikaelyn and I have been having those moments quite a bit lately! I’m so READY for her to make that decision and yet, I want it to be on HER terms and not MINE. I’m so proud of you and what a smart little boy you have!! xoxo
