gift

i am learning to pray very specific prayers.
it often involves one of my children
"Lord, I need to connect with ________. Please orchestrate a moment or situation for that to happen."

and you know what?
He answers EVERY.TIME!
why wouldn't He?

i needed to connect with rebekah.
and we did today.
she had a target giftcard and wanted to use it.
so, we went during rest time today.
she used her gift card to buy all of us christmas presents.
i know.
i debated NOT letting her do that with her giftcard. but decided that if that was HER heart's desire, i needed to let her use it that way!


she is one special girl!

so thankful for her! and for God answering the desires of my heart!

Do you seriously lug your camera with you everywhere you go? Even target? Or is this taken with your cell phone?

I was actually just giving Audrey a little run down of all of your kids the other day (she probably gets sick of hearing about them:) and that story is yet another example of what I said about Rebekah. She is so thoughtful and REALLY thinks of others...in a way that's amazing and so unusual for a nine year old! It's unreal. That girl is special...

P.s. Anonymous- it's ALWAYS a great idea to have your camera with you wherever you go...you never know when there is going to be just the moment you really want to capture! :) and this girl captures a lot.

THAT is a GREAT idea! I was thinking how hard it would be to carry around an SLR everywhere I went...which is what I have. Thank you.
