They never cease to amaze me

There is not a day that goes by that God does not remind me of just how blessed I am to have what I have...but not only that, how I have been blessed with such amazing kids. As my oldest continues to blossom into this wonderful Godly young man, I am constantly reminded of just what a great kid he really is, and today was no exception. As I was driving to work this morning feeling sorry for myself because for the past month and a half I have seemed to fall of the wagon of getting to the gym and keeping up with my morning devotions that I tried to recommit to at the beginning of the new year...I was talking to the Lord about how I have been feeling distant from Him again and regretting the fact that I have not been able to keep up with these things. And then of course I got to work and continued about my day. This wonderful young man of mine called to advise me he was home from school as he always does and we exchanged our normal 3pm conversation. 5 minutes later he called me back to give me a word from the Lord that he was pretty certain was for me(that he received while listening to worship on his MP3 on his bus ride home). The word I am most certain was for me because it seemed to have to do with the things I had been discussing with God this morning and of course brought tears to my eyes. It was a wonderful reminder of how awesome God is and that even when I feel distant from Him He is as near as ever(I am pretty sure there is a song out there that talks about that too) and all that from a 14 year old who most times seems to be a better listener to God than his own parents. Not to mention he also called back to ask how to record some Jonas Bros. thing for his little sister. What a great kid. The little one has her moments as well. Just last week there was some sort of usual girl drama going on and when she was talking to her one friend on the phone about the other friend who was causing some issues little C was telling her friend they need to pray for the other one. My kids are are so great and I am truelly blessed. Lord willing they will continue to walk the path God has set before them.
