child like faith
i caught a glimpse of God's delight yesterday.
elle cut the crud out of her knee...and immediately when she fell
she yelled for her daddy to get her one of two things that may comfort her, "BLANKET or ICE please". she was crying so hard that she could hardly speak these words...they were at the bottom of her exhale.
so as finley went to get her some ice elle was crying and squirming trying to figure out a way to comfort herself in the midst of being patient. she found that shaking her leg helped...she also said that the wind made it feel better. so she shut her eyes and said, Jesus...more wind please, more wind. and immediately more wind...more wind blew in. elle looked at me in utter belief that what she just asked for came true.
i just stared at her "faith in action" and longed that i too had such child like faith.

Wow. I love that! I'm so glad you wrote about it.
I love that God shows Himself to them now in a way only He can do.
I think what might have happened is that God took the wind that was blowing in CO down to AR because Max prayed the wind would stop so he could go fishing with his Papa.
