Mommy Moments in a Mini Van


Yup! I'm a fibber! Said I was going to post about life so far in October...but I decided I'm still living it so I'll wait on that one...
So my little E is turning into quite the deep spiritual thinker these days! Often as we are whizzing here and there in the trusty mini van (who ever thought I'd be a mini-van mommy? ) we have these very interesting conversations.
Here's a recent entertaining example...
"Mom, can I tell you my new Bible verse I learned in school?"
"Sure , I'd love to hear it"

So here is where she recites Psalm 23:1-4! Love it!!! Makes my heart sing to know she is loving God's Word! Then the talk continues....

"You know Mom I really don't like the Bible we read from at school. It leaves out stuff. You know like when God closed the door on the ark and the angel telling Abraham about Isaac"

And here's where I explain about paraphrasing... using the illustration of movies vs books.
"Well, I don't like it! I mean if it's in the Bible they should put it in there!!"
At this point we arrived at our destination. So she's unbuckling and getting all her stuff together.

Time for one last comment...
"Mom you know that story about Job too? Well I don't like that one at all! I mean why is that even in there?"

Haha! Out of the mouths of babes!!! That story kind of messes with my theology too!

Just saw your family pics on Denae's blog - they are fantastic! I especially love how beautifully Annie's eyes shine in her individual shots! Super cute photos~!
