Dassah was taking a nap and I told Noah he could watch a movie because Mama was going to spend some time with the Lord. Here is how our conversation went:
Noah: Mama can I spend time with the Lord with you?
Me: Sure
Noah: (went to go get his Bible): Mama can I have a notebook like you to write in?
Me: What are you drawing Noah?
Noah: What I am learning in my Bible
Me: What are you learning?
Noah: That I don't have to be afraid because God is with me
Me: That is good, how did you learn that?
Noah: There is a picture of a lion in my bible and God was with Daniel in the lion's den so he wasn't afraid.
Me: That is good Noah.
Noah: Did you know that even if you get killed God protects you?
Me: How is that?
Noah: Because we just go to heaven
Me: You are right
Noah: I can't wait to see how big God is when I go to heaven
Me: He is really big
(a few minutes later)
Noah: What are you learning Mama?
Me: That God is King and wears a crown
Noah: A crown of thorns?
Me: Now that He is in heaven he doesn't wear the crown of thorns but a crown of gold
Me: What about you did you learn anything else?
Noah: God is SOOOO strong
Me: How did you know that?
Noah: There is a picture of weights (dumbells) in my Bible
Noah: What else are you learning, Mama?
Me: That God wants us to praise Him, what about you?
Noah: That spiders can bite you, What else are you learning, Mama?
Me: That God wants us to take communion
Noah: That is good, mama, the bread is for His body and the wine is His blood right?
Me: Very good...What else are you learning?
Noah: That He loves me
Me: Did you know he know every hair on your head?
NOah:( laughs) What esle are you learning about, Mama?
Me: That God says His name is the I AM
Noah: (with excitment in his voice) That is right Mama, He told Moses that at the burning bush
Me: What are you doing Noah? (he was real quiet)
Noah: Just waiting on the Lord, and you know what He told me the same thing He told Moses that He is the I AM.
( Then Noah turned some pages in his Bible and found a picture of the burning bush)
Noah: Look Mama, it is the story we were talking about
( He then takes his notebook out and tries to draw the fire)
Noah: Why don't you wait on the Lord and see what He tells you?
Me: "He said that He is my Papa"
Noah: What ? with a laugh
Me: God is our Father and all who believe in Him are His children
Noah: you and me are his children?
Me: Yep
Noah: because we are so small... but what about Papa?
Me: Papa is his child too, we are all in God's big family
Noah: But Papa is big
Me: God is even bigger than Papa
Noah: (with a look of awe) God is bigger than Papa. He must be really big.
This was one of the best times with the Lord, I have had in a long time... His presence was so sweet. Thank you Lord.
