I love living. Mostly because I've never died before and partially because I'm nosy. Don't ask me why I feel this way cause you'll become tired of reading my explanation. Anyway, I have a few minutes to spare and I had a memory of the time when I was rushing to prepare my family for church. I had helped all the children dress and even my husband. As routine, I'd dress last and instruct the children to sit and wait on me. All the while during my showering and make-up session I could her the girls laughing, running and playing. Honestly, I was getting upset mostly because I was frustrated with running late as usual and partially because I secretly wanted to run and play too. Nonetheless, I ran into the run in my undies and bellowed out to the girls, 'SIT DOWN AND CLOSE YOUR MOUTHS! The room grew both still and silent for about five minutes or so until I heard a loud piercing screech coming from my youngest daughter. I just knew someone had disobeyed my command and this meant war. I threw on my clothes and laced up my pumps (really hoping she'd be quite before I reached the room). I entered the room with boldness and asked in my sternest mommy voice, whaaaaat is wroooong whiiiiiith you"? She raised my dress, pointed to my all-over controle top-girtle and said to me in her best little "sad-like" voice, "why do you get to wear your swim suit to church and I don't"!
After a few quick seconds of trying to keep my mouth closed I looked at her and said, "because the bible says, "let not my heart be troubled. I should believe in him and he also in me. And what God meant by this is that if I trust him to keep me breathing he'll trust me when I tell him that I can breathe".Okay, I knew I didn't quote that scripture correctly and I also understood that my three year old wouldn't get it but at least I wasn't speechless!
The scripture that I used for my own understanding can be found in John 14:1.Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.
