Precious Time

"People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:13-16

The kingdom of heaven really does belong to children. Thursday afternoon Jamey grabbed our family Bible, took it to Jim and said please! After Jim read the Word Jamey took Jim's hand asking to pray. When Jim finished praying Jamey said "amen". It is moments like these that really show me God is real, His word is true and only in Jesus can we be saved. Though we are born sinful, children know God. I don't know how as it is an amazing and profound mystery but they know God is real and they eat up the Word of God.

We had a busy week last week meeting people, spending time with friends, hanging out as a family and getting ready for Jim to start school.

Friday was orientation. We had a chapel service and Dr. Mohler addressed the new students and hit the nail on the head. God has truly blessed him with wisdom for leading students of the Word. The Holy Spirit is so present here. After chapel there was a lunch provided by Chick-fil-A where they met people from their particular school. I missed most of this as Jamey and I played with other kids and moms in the lobby. They also had a fair with information on ministry opportunities and other school activities. They have a lot of things for women including the seminary wives institute. This is a neat program where you go once a week to learn a touch of what your husband is learning in seminary. When you have completed so many courses you actually "graduate" with a certificate. It sounds really neat. I will be taking some of these courses starting August 26th taking Cross Cultural Ministries for 6 weeks. This is quite exciting for me as I have wanted to take seminary studies but will not be able to do the full load.

It is amazing to see what God is doing here.
