Josiah & I usually say prayers and spend time worshipping as we drive- looking at the Mountains, on our way to work and school.
Yesturday Josiah said, "Holy Spirit fill us up with some more presenTs; because I don't have any and I need bob builder and daddy needs a job and mommy wants alot of pieces"
He has heard Steve & I pray, 'Holy Spirit Fill us with your presence' & I always ask God to give me peace.
So this morning we are driving to work quietly, when all of the sudden Josiah starts to sing (his version of Father's house (i think thats what the song is called):
'come and go with me - to my 'Lijah's house!
Come and go with me - to my 'Lijah's house!
It's a BIG, BIG House with lots & lots of brooms!
A BIG, BIG table with lots & lots of food
A BIG BIG yard where we will play foot ball!!
Come and Go with me- To my 'Lijah's house!!!
then he says, "momma I just cant wait to go to our 'Lijah's housse in heaven with Jesus!"
I said, "I know sweetie me too, I can't wait"
He says, "I think *Grandma Alvarez should stop waiting, cause her can have alot of brooms in heaven and play foot ball with 'Lijah"
* Grandma Alvarez is Ben's mom & She is heaven bound and can't hardley wait to cross those pearly gates into the arms of Jesus & see her life long sweet heart who awaits her. She is over 80 ... I think, something like that. (please pray for her too - she is so tired & ready to go).
Ever since last Friday when we went to go see Grandma Alvarez. He wakes up every morning and the first thing he asks is, "IS GRANDMA ALVAREZ DYING FOR HEAVEN YET?" meaning has she gone to heaven yet.
Isn't it funny how real life and death has become to our kids whenever they have had to say good bye to a sibling at such a young age.
His version of prayers and songs is just too funny!!!
So now for my "special" prayer request:
I shared with you that I am working and that 30 days after I started working I was gonna get a raise - well this week is my 30 days and I am asking God for his Favor and Blessings, And continued provisions. That he would touch my bosses heart, casue I need a few more dollars than was agreed to. I believe I have exceeded their expectations and I know this work is worth what I need so PLEASE AGREE WITH ME IN PRAYER, that The Lord would move in his heart on my behalf.

That Lijah is going to be one evangelist for our Lord! Praying for a financial blessings. I get so sad when you don't write for a while, your family has such a tender and honest heart. It is a blessing that you share-- thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just prayed for you sweetheart. Let me know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, but in a way also beautiful, the way your Josiah is at peace with 'dying for Heaven'. My L.O. is quite the oppossite.
I also prayed for peace for you.
Much Love,
Lindsay
