As a parent, I have a desire to be heard by my child, quite frankly I almost demand it. But in the quiet of my thoughts today I was reminded of the times that Kylie does listen to me and how much more important those times were:

*During our devo story - I got Kylie the Jesus Storybook Bible (which seriously rocks my socks off, I've always heard it would) we were reading The Terrible Lie, and I don't know if it was the dramatic way I was reading it or the story itself, but halfway through that story Kylie was bawling; it brought me to tears and we both cried til the end when we were reminded that God is going to rescue us from our sin. What an awesome moment this morning.
*During our rides in the car - I only listen to Christian music w/Kylie now, and every once in awhile she will ask me how that particular song has to do w/God. She is listening and learning and seeking. ♥

Those listening moments make other things so trivial, yes I STILL want her to listen to me as her parent, but how much more important that she is listening to God and having her spirit stirred w/in her. Thank you Lord for loving my daughter so much!!
