Mika, already using the gifts of the Spirit, I believe so!
Mika, eating at Cici's on one of our "After-Library" dates
It all started one afternoon on a carride to the Redbox. I got out to return a dvd and when I returned, I began chatting with the girls about our day. Suddenly I looked over to Madyson who was choking (badly, I knew wasn't responding to my questions for awhile). She had tears rolling from her face and could not speak, her hands were pointing to her throat. As I'm in the turn lane at a stoplight, I began BEATING her back. I'm freaking out...after pounding for what seemed like 3 minutes she vomited the devil's peppermint up. See, while I was out she had found a peppermint and put it in her mouth...I didn't even know what was in her mouth. After catching her breath, she cried hysterically, "Momma, Momma, I should have listened to Mika...Momma, Mika told me not to put that candy in my mouth, she said it was just for grown-ups...I should have listened to Mika..."
Mika, somehow, you knew and you tried and I am soooooo happy that you chose to tell her, you did a good job!
Next, it was Church Day! I had on a certain pair of shoes that you absolutley insisted I not wear...I'd never had to wear them without socks like this day. You went and got me new shoes and simply would not stop til I switched. So, it was a great day, feet were fine, UNTIL, I chose to run to Wal-Mart in the shoes you insisted that I not wear. My 30 minute trip to town in those shoes you warned against resulted in gaping bloody blisters that really hurt...I should have listened to you, Mika.
I'm starting to see a pattern...looks like we need to listen to precious Mika more often!
Finally, I had taken you to the doctor because of some yucky crusty eyes and a snotty nose. You were great, you enjoy tripsand it is really hard for the doctor to leave you once you get to talking. As we were getting ready to check out, you walked straight up to one receptionist and said, "Do you have a husband?" She responded, "No, not anymore" You continued, "Where is you husband at?" The lady said, with a tear, "He just went to heaven hunny, he died." All I could say was, "I wonder what made her choose you to ask that question, she has never asked anyone about their husband before...Strange."
Mika, they say kids are more sensitive to the spirit world and I believe you proved that! I asked you if you saw her husband and you said he had brown hair, brown eyes, and a gray and red shirt on...Whether this was make believe or not, there was something that drew you to that woman with that question in hand.
I love the little child you are growing into, even though it is happening too fast! I pray that God gives me the wisdom to help you develop in all area's He has called you. You are beautiful!
Mady receiving her Good Listener Award (since Jan, you have also received star student, student of the month, and caught being good awards) So proud of the girl you are!
Ya know, you make me really proud? As if sharing the fruits of the spirit with the class, helping your teacher explain them, and receiving the text from the mom whose life you touched because of it, didn't make me smile enough...you've taken it to another level. You came home from school a little sad and told of a girl calling you a name... You responded by saying, "I'm not a dork, I'm made in the image of God!" And that settled that. Then you were so happy because you helped a mean boy out (I subbed, so I concur, he was mean) His friends were running off and leaving him on the playground and you could tell he was hurting so you told him that he should never be sad because he was made in the image of God and he could play with you if he wanted. I love that you chose to meet his need. You are a great girl! You cracked me up a few nights back though. You THOUGHT you could have behaved better while we were at the gym and I found you in your room crying, holding your Bible...you already know the KEY to changing you world! And one day, when you were in trouble I asked you who you were serving, you said "myself" I then said who are you here to serve and you said "God." I'm glad we know this at the age of 6...Now my prayer is for wisdom to develop/encourage this understanding so it continues on.
