Hello out there. I have been neglecting my blog and will probably continue to do so for awhile, but I promise to catch ya’ll (my small band of readers 
) up on what is going on soon. I have been enjoying this Easter season reading through the crucifixion and resurrection accounts with Lily. We really have just sat together at the foot of the stories recounted in the gospels. Honestly, there is nothing else I love more than observing her wonder and listening to her questions. Not only am I stimulated by this (even though I am supposed to be “teaching” her), but I also love the connection that I feel to her in these times.
Anyway, I am knee-deep in some exciting stuff – big fuel for a visionary type gal like me. As always, big things can be overwhelming, but what a wonderful opportunity to have my faith stretched. I’m ready! I am so thankful for all the little ways that the Lord continues to encourage me and prod me forward. A few nights ago, I indulged Lily in one of her favorite stories in The Jesus Storybook Bible (she has several that she will always pick if you let her). I am notorious in our house for crying every single time I read it. Still, when she called out her request I sort of rolled my eyes inwardly, but I should not have. The Lord used the story to. . .well. . .speak to me – addressing just what was on my mind. Can you guess the story?
“I have some, he said. Jesus’ friends laughed when they saw his little lunch. That’s not nearly enough! they said. But they were wrong. Jesus knew it didn’t matter how much the little boy had. God would make it enough, more than enough. Jesus said, Bring me what you have. And so the little boy gave Jesus his lunch. Jesus winked at the little boy and whispered in his ear,
Watch!”
