One good thing I can tell you is Macy lives on a prayer too except she prays for other people on her own and understands the need for her future spouse to love Jesus. How do we know? Keep reading.
This picture you see here was an assignment at school that says
"If I had 100 dollars I would..."
"I would go on a lemo ride with Justin Biber and we would have a good time with each other and have dinner some where downtown. I would do it becuase he is cute and he is wonderful my dad allways says they haft to love Jesus and I said yes they haft to.”
I don’t know about all this Justin Bieber business but hey, first things first---love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul & strength, amen!
Also, tonight outta’ nowhere Macy said she was worried about Alex (someone in her class). “Alex said he doesn’t believe in God or Jesus.” I asked her how she knew that. She said “because he said that when I was talking about God.” I didn’t ask her what she was saying about God and I didn’t ask her any further what Alex said. What I did do though is begin to think about what I was supposed to say to her. Wasn’t I supposed to tell her how to be a witness to him? Wasn’t I supposed to say we should pray for him? I don’t know? I mean I DO know but I think I was just caught off guard by it? Nonetheless, I said nothing. I continued about my business cutting up veggies and doing what I was doing. She continued talking but had changed the subject to something else and I continued to listen. The whole part about Alex knowing Jesus was a fleeting thought at that moment, so I thought.
When bedtime rolled around, this was her prayer. Some of this is standard stuff she says (the parts at the beginning) every night like a dang book but she’ll usually add some other really specific stuff about whatever she feels necessary.
"Dear God, please let us get a good night’s sleep. Please watch over my family, friends and protect us, God. Jesus, forgive of us of our sins-the things we’ve done bad today. Help us to do better tomorrow. Help me to do good in school on the things I missed today and let me be obedient to you. Jesus, I don’t know why Alex doesn’t believe in you but I do. I believe in You. Tomorrow, help me show Alex how to believe in You with how I behave. Let me be kind, let me courteous and let me do things so he can know You. Aaaaa-men."
All I have to say is "woahhhhh, we're halfway there ..." ;)
