I've Often Wondered
Over the years I have just come to accept, by faith, that there are mysteries of God I will never fully understand; and I'm ok with that. I don't want to be all-knowing. Who wants that pressure? I'll leave the big stuff to God. So when it comes to questions and mysteries of the universe I am not one to sit and ponder questions I am not convinced can ever be answered.
With that said however, there is a mystery of God that I would LOVE to understand...and that is how on earth He reveals Himself, His greatness, His splendor, His forgiveness, His approachability, His love, and His grace to a child in a way they can comprehend.
At night when praying with our boys I will sometimes just ask God to reveal Himself to them in a way they can understand. I believe He can and has done that for them, and believe He will continue to do so throughout their lives.
However, because we are human there can sometimes be a glitch in our understanding. Case in point:
Last night I took Drew to Children's-again-for his asthma. As he was struggling to breath in the backseat after a failed breathing treatment at home he says to me from the backseat (unprompted),"Mommy, I don't need to be afraid. Jesus is always with me. He is always with me. He lives in my tummy though and can't get out because He's too big. Yeah, He's too big. But a bunny can get out of my tummy because it's really small." Well ok then! Not exactly what we've been teaching him about Jesus, but it'll do for now.
So apparently last night Drew had a "fever in his head, wheezing in his chest, and a bunny and Jesus living in his tummy."
I absolutely love his innocence. I love how his little mind works. I love his heart and faith in a God that will never leave him, so he never has to be afraid...even if that God's bunkmate is a bunny for now.
Until next time...I'm hoping for healthy kiddos, clear lungs, and Jesus moving from Drew's tummy to his heart.
