Gently Lead Them Towards God's Will

At church one night while we were waiting in God's presence my daughter says to me," Mommy God wants me to go up to the front and recite from my memory Ps.91." Which she could do because she had memorized the chapter herself by her own will and doing. Go tell Pastor Wanda I said. She froze but afterwards we told Pastor Wanda and her words to Marvalous were... next time do what God tells you even if you have to do it afraid. Those words still ring true...

While God has not given us a spirit of fear, those feelings do rise up when it's time to DO something that in our minds might bring about rejection or ridicule because of the great risk involved. There have been many times my daughter has had to do it afraid from ministering in song to teens locked up in a Psychiatric Hospital at age 10, to interviewing celebrities at local events.

As parents it's our job to keep encouraging them to keep going forward no matter what feelings may arise. My daughter has a bright future in communication today because of God's plan for her life and us gently urging her to do it even if you are afraid.

What A Tough Job

Story

When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college- that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?" (-:

PreCautionary Prayer

The Sunday school teacher asked, "Now Johnny, tell me do you pray before eating your food."

" No sir," Johnny replied, "I don't have to. My Mom is a good cook!"
