Bible Reading

(Skye fixed up this model of the moon rotating around the earth on his own just by reading the manual. I wasn't even aware till it was done!)

This morning, Skye took out his bible (my NIV bible which I gave it to him some time back) and proudly showed it to me, telling me he's going to read the bible. So he sat on the sofa, doing his own bible reading, reading out in a voice. After reading, he showed me the verses he read 1 Corinthians 9:20 and Obadiah. 

I managed to keep cool while cleaning up the milk mess Trinity created. But having Skye read the verse to me (while I was cleaning), brought a sense of indescribable peace. My good Lord always gives me the portion I need, and this accentuate the truth that God's Word is living and full of power in its own.

Little Angel or Little Warrior

Trinity, she's definitely adorable! Her sweet smile and gentle angelic looks can really melt our hearts. And when she speaks with her cutesy voice... But within her is a tough spirit.  She is not one that can be easily bullied. Kids will not be able to snatch from her what she claims her hold on until they asked.

That tough spirit is going to help her secure her spiritual territory! The enemy will not be able to snatch her claims in God from her. 

Recently, I just taught the kids to do warfare whenever they are afraid. And Trinity would always have the fiesty look when she says, "In Jesus' name, go away!"

And she always look forward to go for prayerwalk around our neighborhood. And today, we started on another new block, our 4th block.

She is our little angel and she is our little warrior!

Our Special Son

Skye, our dearest son, really surprised me last Friday when we went shopping. 

I was shopping for a backpack for Trinity. She had been wanting one since she kept seeing her brother carrying his. Her new strawberry shortcake bag was so cute that I decided maybe I should get a new one for Skye. Ya, I know, the old one is still working fine, no need for a new one. But I just wanted to give him the option of choosing a character-bag for himself.

Much to my surprise, these were his words: "I don't want. I want to use my bag. When it's old, then I'll buy a new one." Wow!!! 

And when Trinity held up a bob-the-builder bag for him and asked, "Kor kor, for you?" He repeated the same thing. 

Ever since he was young, I knew in my heart, this boy is special. On the outside, he may appear tough or even at times, too aggressive. But I know, God has given him a special purpose. It is my job, as a parent to use whatever abilities and talents God has given him to equip him in his calling, and to help mold all the seemingly bad traits into godly character traits that God can use for His Kingdom. I believe, definitely, that Skye's passionate character will develop in him a heart of worship for our true God and his aggressiveness will be essential in the calling for claiming lost grounds for God!

And the Story Goes...

As Skye was finishing up his milk before bed last night, he told me this story:

Once, there was an elf. And the devil came and ask him, "What are you doing?" 

And the elf said, "I'm worshipping Jesus, He is faithful and powerful!"

And the devil asked, "Why are you worshipping Jesus?"

And the elf replied, "Because I'm worshipping the true and living God!"

Hallelujah! Even though it has a fictional character in it, I enjoyed the "short story" totally. And this is my prayer always, that my kids will grow up knowing God, worshipping God all the days of their lives.

Hearing God's Voice

Previously, I have prompted Skye to listen for God's voice. And I remember there was once, on our way to sunday church service, as we asked him what's God saying, he replied, "Read God's Word". 

Today, I started Skye on his journey of journalling. We read the book about gift of tongues, spent some time praying, thanking God and asking Him to give us more gifts. Then we prayed in tongues, and kept silent to listen for God's voice. After sometime, he turned to me and said, "God said, 'Share, and love the people.'" So I got out his very first journal and jot those words down.

Amazing! There's really no age limit to hearing God's voice! I believe by faith, that Skye is growing stronger in the spirit and that God is honoring that desire.

Seeing Angels

Well, it started some time back, during a prayer meeting, Trinity replied that she saw angels, that they were dressed in white, praising God

Two wednesdays ago, after a time of worship at prayer meeting, Trinity looked up and again, she exclaimed, "Angels! Angels praising God!" This is the forth time of her encounter with angels. 

I do long to see angels, heavenly beings...and Trinity's encounter reminded me: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

Living a Life of Worship

Now to make it obvious that I "tune into God" even doing my daily chores at home, I verbalize my praise and worship. 

Yesterday morning, while clearing the breakfast table, I uttered, "Praise You, Lord, hallelujah!" *tongues*. And Skye, at that moment, was with his sister, building number blocks. And upon hearing me praising God, he broke into tongues! And started his own time of praise! Hallelujah! What a wonderful way to start the day!
