Jesus in the Washer

Another Toby story for all of you who heard the last one... I.E. me. Blogs Ive decided are good for remembering things.

Toby was trying to climb into the dryer the other day and was caught by Sarah. She shouted, "Toby STOP! You don't climb in the dryer! You could get hurt and die and then we wouldn't get to see you for a long time. You would be in heaven with Jesus!" At this point the waterworks begin as Toby runs to Sarah for a hug.

The next morning as we are getting ready for church I round up Toby and Noah and we are eating breakfast at the table. Toby is chatting non-stop while Noah and I eat in silence content to focus on our food and listen to Toby tell stories. While we are eating Toby begins in on a story about Jesus and Noah talking so I asked him the question, "Toby, have you been talking to Jesus?" Toby's face gets very serious as he says emphatically, "No Daddy, me not be talking to Jesus. Me be see-in Jesus." Without smiling or laughing I replied, "You see Jesus? Where?" I looked all around the room. Toby replied, "Me go climb in the washer and me be see-in Jesus."

Miley's Baby

Toby finally asked the big question...

"Momma, you habin a baby?"

"No, not right now Toby. Maybe Later," Sarah said.

"Daddy habin baby?"

"No Toby, Daddys dont have babies, only Mommies do."

"Ok," Toby replied. "Where babies be comin from."

"Well," sarah replied. "Daddy puts a special seed in Mommys tummy and then a baby grows and mommy has the baby." "Ok," Toby says.

As a family we really try to limit the amount of TV the boys watch and especially the content. That being said Sarah had rented the Hannah Montana movie and Toby was allowed to watch the movie. During the climax of the movie Sarah asked Toby to put something away and paused the film. When Toby returned to see the movie paused, he stood and stared at the TV screen with the picture of Hannah Montana and turned to Sarah and said, "Mommy. Me want to be a seed in her tummy."

Sarah holding back her laughter said, "Toby, do you want to be Hannah Montana's baby?" "Yah," he replied. "Me wanna be a baby in her tummy."

Crazy Week

This has been such a crazy week for everyone I have talked to. Friends hurting with personal and medical drama, students hurting from personal drama, what a week. By the end of today I had contacted CPS and attended a last minute funeral for a student who's child died at birth. But in all this chaos God is still Good.

God is still Good.

Let the Journey Begin

God dreams bigger and greater than we can comprehend. So let this journey begin. I have been dreaming about some things that God has been putting into motion outside any of my own efforts or abilities. So begins the journey and I am not in the lead position. God is leading the way, opening the doors, preparing the hearts, and conquering the city...we just get to go with him on the trip and watch what he is doing and do what he wants done.
