Child Like Faith

Sometimes to do a great miracle, God uses children rather then adults. I think this is probably because most adults are ornery, stubborn and prideful or they just don't know how to leave their comfort zone to do something amazing even if God is urging them to.
 Anyway, I have seen people be prayed for and their crippled legs miraculously straighten and where ever there body had a lack of muscle, or tissue, it just grows back to normal. I have seen and done it myself cast demons out of people and places. I have seen limbs grow out to normal length. I have witnessed God completely healing someone when they were on the brink of death or heal someone's mental disorder. I have also seen it when someone is prayed for and nothing happens. So with all that said, God still heals and does extraordinary things but He does according to His will and He uses people to get His work done.
Mitch, the youngest child, is seven. He is quite the young man. He has the humor of a 27 year old and is probably more mature then most of the people I graduated with. Anyway I remember the kids were doing their schoolwork and I was cleaning something but had to sit down because of really bad migraine. I told Mitch to come pray for me. He just simply walks right over, back straight, puts his hand on my shoulder and prays:
"God, I don't know what is wrong with Tabby but heal her God and help her feel better. I rebuke whatever is making her not feel good in the name of Jesus. Amen."
It was so precious! I hugged him and thanked him. Then he asks, "Do you feel better?" I kinda just laughed because I didn't think I would but I appreciated his gesture.  But after about ten minutes my migraine had fully given way to feeling normal again and I told Mitch that I did and Praise God for that quick healing!
See, sometimes you don't have to have a fancy certificate from a Bible college or have a label in front of your name or be really old to be able to do great things. Because God, who is the Greatest, uses those who we often think can't do cool things. But obviously, the majority of us are wrong. Children have an interesting way about them that makes themselves more open to God and His works. Their faith in Him is sometimes more stronger then that of a grown adults. What does that say to you?

Order of the Day

I began working as a nanny on January 10, 2011 for a family who has eight children. It is OK! I am only responsible for the youngest three. They are ages 13, 11 and 7 years old. They are home schooled and their family owns two businesses. They also eat really really REALLY healthy.

 I start every day by arriving at their house before 8 am. Then I wake up the boys and Catie, the only girl. I start off by making breakfast and making sure they are getting ready for the day. I found that oatmeal is intense to make it can become like rubber if your not careful or like soup but a little agave and milk make it bearable. After breakfast, we have devotions reading one to two chapters a day out of the Bible. We started on the last of John, read though Acts and are now on Romans. After everyone reads out of the chapter we discuss what happened, what spoke to each of us and how we can apply it to our lives now. Then pray.

Then everyone breaks off into doing their school. Catie doesn't really need me at this point, she is a whiz! But I have to make sure the boys, Eddy and Mitch, don't kill each other over the desk, pencil sharpener, that sort of thing. When they do a test I grade it and when they finish a lesson I have to look over it to make sure they did it right and let them correct their mistakes. Then they do whatever chores they have for their day.

Usually I prepare lunch, clean up any remaining dishes, laundry, dust, sweep, vacuum and then a few times a week I do a deep cleaning task or organizing something.

Then at 5 pm I am technically done and wait for my wonderful husband to pick me up.
