Message for God

So, Christian came home from school last week with an envelope in his backpack. It was labeled "God". I looked inside and found a blank index card. I asked him what it was for, and He said "it's a message for God!" I asked him what he was supposed to do, and he said we needed to get an orange crayon and write a message to God on the card, so I decided to jump on it and do it with him right then.

Orange crayon in my hand and Christian ready to dictate, this is what he said:

"God, I know that you love us, and we'll love you too forever. I want to live with you forever. I just can't tell you how much I love you! Thank you for making the whole earth, and thanks for everything, God. Amen."

There were a few other things mumbled in there under his breath, but that's what I was able to catch and write down (and what I wrote down was word for word what he said). He sounded so grown up and like he has a relationship with God already at the young age of 4. My prayer is that his relationship with God will continue and grow throughout his entire life and that he will truly know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior! What a wonderful start, and I thank his pre-k teacher, Mrs. Wessley, for making that moment with my son possible!

Where to go from here...?

So I'm looking back at this blog and trying to decide whether to continue or not - as well as what the content will be. I think I might begin to share about the family for anyone not in contact with us on a regular basis to keep up with our lives. I'm kind of laughing at myself - it's quite a dorky and self-centered little blog so far with only the details of my crazy diet. My intention at the time was to document the changes in my body those two months, but it wasn't as drastic as I had hoped, medically speaking...no results on my medical issues as proof that the diet did what I set out to do. But oh well! That's over and done with. On to more important things, I guess! I'll try to post sometime in the next week, but if not, then I will definitely post about our upcoming trip to Disney when we get back. I am anxious and a little apprehensive about our first big vacation as a family of five. Grandma and Grandpa Benson are coming with us, so we will have some extra hands, but the two-day drive down may kill us...I'm praying hard that it goes quickly...
