noticed that I was rubbing my head because he asked me if I was
okay. I told him that I had a headache and asked him to pray for
me. He pointed to my head and said, "Buke it!" He then proceeded to
ask me if it was better. I told him it wasn't and so he pointed to
my head again and said, "Head be gone!" Well, my head isn't feeling
any better at this point but I am fully expecting the headache to go
in Jesus' name. (I did clarify with the Lord that I would like to
keep my head but He can take the pain out of it!)
This is such a lesson to me on many different levels. One is that
Isaiah is listening to our conversations ALL the time. Whenever
anyone in our family or group here has pain we pray for them. We
rebuke the pain, ask the Father to bring His Kingdom and His
healing. Then, we ask the person if they are feeling better. If so,
we praise God together. If not, we pray again. I am so glad he
caught some of the good things we discuss!!! We generally do try to
be very sensitive about what we say as we know that words can create
and destroy life (Prov. 15:4, 18:21). So, this was encouraging to me
that he is hearing and learning some good stuff! Praise God! It
also encourages me to continue to model the kind of words and
behavior I would like to see in my children. This may sound weird
but I am noticing that I want Isaiah to clean up his toys all the
time but I don't always clean up after myself. I want him to take
care of his things but he needs to see me doing the same. Little
eyes are watching what I do and don't do! This is amazing to me and
provokes me to more careful words and deeds!
