Isn't he adorable??? In case you were wondering...Yes, we do Elf on the Shelf...Yes, we do Santa...Yes, we put a Jesus spin on it...Yes, all of my kids still believe in Santa {Well, Max knows that the Santa's we see at the mall are not real, but the one in the North Pole that Eli visits every night is REAL :-)} Oh and for the record...Eli was super tired last night and he didn't move from this position #oops
I really do believe that the Lord can speak to us in many different ways and show us things in the most creative ways {for some reason mine seem to be more around kid related events...hmmmm}
The other night when I was sneaking around in the quiet of the boys' room looking for army men that would soon take Eli "captive" I noticed the peaceful, heavy breathing, sound sleeping boys and was quickly reminded of how God works in our lives...
He is at work even when we are sleeping...
He is moving on our behalf even when we don't know realize it (sometimes because of said sleep)
He is preparing and planning a way for us
He has positioned us so that we can bring Glory and Honor to His name
HE IS ALWAYS PRESENT
Our God is so faithful and I really needed to be reminded that He is always working in and through us, even when we may not notice it and recognize it. He has positioned us for this season, for this plot in our story and He knows exactly what we are facing no matter how big or small it may seem! When we continue pressing on with our part {stacking our days with Him} we may not always SEE what is happening, but we can sure TRUST that He is up to something! And His "up to something's" are always GOOD...
Philippians 1:6 MSG
There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would KEEP AT IT and bring it to a FLOURISHING finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.
Happy Friday!
Have a Great Weekend Xx
