Think about this

I tell you the truth,
unless you change
and
become like little
children,
you will
never enter the
kingdom of heaven!

Matthew 18:3


Hmmm, maybe I just got my word for 2006. Child.
No I don't want to have anymore children. But I want to
become a child. In so many ways!


This scripture was on a beautiful Christmas
card (from last year) sent all the way
from Rome by my friend Shanely.

As I went through my cards from last year, this really stood out
to me. On my refrigerator I have a little section where I put pictures.
Most are of little kids, some of the cutest ones ever! (Aiden, Israel,John, Nico, Joseph
Ethan, Merci, Isabelle, Jacob, Riley, Gavin, and Jordan)
So I thought I would put this scripture in the midst of them.

What does this really mean??

I guess it could be one of those scriptures that means something different to each person individually.

Like I have mentioned a few times I want to start a moms group. I felt awhile ago that we should get together and really worship with our kids. I had this mental image of
us sitting there with little kiddie musical instruments, just worshipping
with our little ones. How fun would that be??
I also felt like God gave me a specific phrase CHILDLIKE FAITH.

Hmmm maybe those are my words..Childlike Faith!
(funny how God reveals stuff to us huh? I was just reading Bek's blog thinking..I need a word and walah it is revealed to me as I type this blog)

So what does this scripture mean to you?

To me it is a clear instruction....God giving me a clue!

As I am sitting here I was reminded of my nickname as a child "baby Donna."
My aunts name is Dona (yes only 1 n) so they had to
call me "baby Donna" so no one was confused!
So I want to live this year as "baby Donna."
Because I don't know about you but I wan to
enter the kingdom of
HEAVEN!

Great choice for word of the year. This is such a great idea.

I think that it's because children are so pure and innocent - and b/c it is easier for them to believe - to believe in santa, to believe in the tooth fairy, to believe in God!
