Seriously, my baby girl is a constant reminder of Jesus and brings such conviction in my life. I love her!
Each day holds something new and I have started writing down things in a folder called,
"Out of the Mouth of Gabs."
This morning my daughter walks out from her room with her wire curly crazy hair going into a million directions and she says, "Mommy, heaven is better than America ya know." My response as you can imagine was, "You are exactly right Gabriella and aren't you so excited to get to Heaven and see Jesus?" Gabriella responds, "Yes mommy! I just woke up and have not eaten breakfast."
We do not have to be on a particular subject or in a certain place and my girl will bust out with some type of powerful statement that I know is a sweet reminder and encouragement from the Lord. Today, I pondered what she said. We are often talking about what we miss in the US. First is always a name of someone in our family. We then move to friends, church, restaurants, schools, movies, stores, etc. We get excited and we talk about the first place we want to go when we get back. We talk about who we hope will meet us at the airport and we really get excited with a longing for that day to come.
God was precious with me this morning and I really felt that Gabriella's very first words after waking up were for me. Connie, continue to long for me, for your real home, for My presence. Do not be caught up in your human understanding, serve and live with the anticipation of heaven, and with an excitement longing for eternity in paradise.
Thank you Father and Thank you Gabriella
