Mommy, no more buying stuff .....

So we have told the kids recently that we will be moving, We told them that we weren't sure where yet but that we would be leaving this house. Selah has been saying things for awhile about wanting a different house, and now she cannot sleep in her room because of the moisture against one wall in her room, reaking havoc. I hope when I talk about these things people don't think we are lousy housekeepers, cause the ones who know me know I am a clean person, I actually get a little crazy about messes. But the things I'm mentioning are the things beyond our control. Anyway so Selah and I were hanging out yesterday and she said, "Mommy , No more buying stuff, it takes a lot of money to buy a new house, maybe like 1,000 dollars and we have to save." Mind you I am aware of the cost of things, I had not bought anything recently to bring this conversation on, just little Selah putting in her two cents.She is too funny she is always acting like a grown up in certain situations, and then like a wonderful 7 year old in other situations it's great!
Last night she came into my room and I was reading the bible, I was feeling an attack from the enemy,( he was trying to make me go back to the 'worry wart ' personality I tend to cling to at times),So I was doing my little 'trick' of asking God to show me the scripture that I needed to hear, so I had this bible, one I don't usually use, it's not broken in, and I kept turning to Job. hmmmm not exactly the answer I wanted, "God why have you deserted me, left me in this place....lol" ok so I am convinced at this point it's just the way that bible falls , or else I'm in big trouble lol . So I get my John Maxwell leadership bible, which I adore , and I open it straight to, my favorite scripture of all time, Jeremiah 29:11, " For I know the thoughts I think toward you says the Lord, Plans to prosper you not to harm you, and plans to give you a future of hope" Wow that was so amazing, it's like in one minute I was transformed, from my old man creeping out trying to rear it's nasty ol head, to a peace like a river, There is so much power in the word of God! So back to Selah she comes in and I told her what I was doing so she wanted to join me, and she started opening the bible and reading out of it, the first scripture was in numbers where ashem begot adem begot shessalameccela jones etc. etc. So she said that is just a warm up I guess, then as she turned to the next and the next it was all so pertinent, one even going as far as to state, 'Pack up your belongings and leave this place' kinda odd. Then she sat on my lap and we watched Ed Young together and fell asleep. I would rather be with my family than anyone in this whole world, I have the greatest kids and family on the planet and I thank God so much for them, let's not neglect these moments with our kids, they can be a time where God chooses to speak very clearly to us, or our kids decide to reprimand us about spending money, either way they are precious!
