MOM, I think God is trying to talk to me AHH-GAIN!

So the girls slipped into bed at 7:30PM and by 7:45PM Daniela came out to the porch where I was reading myself with her Bible saying, "LOOK AT THIS!  My friend said this verse in school today and here it is AGAIN!  MOM, I think God is trying to talk to me AHH-GAIN!"

Proverbs 12:22

The Lord detests lying lips,
    but he delights in those who tell the truth.

She kept rambling on in a frantic, I do not believe this!! manner.   I told her to wait a second and slow down, I do not understand, and I am very emotional about this myself.   I mean seriously, God, You are freaking awesome and please keep at my kid because she is wearing me so thin lately.  Lying sounds like nothing big from time to time, but when it is in your house every day you become exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally.  New lies are uncovered and you feel like you are going backwards with no help in sight.

Why did your friend tell you this?

No, she didn't tell me. She told our friend this after she lied.  I was listening and thought, "God, are you talking to me, too, with this verse!?"

So what is He saying?

I dont know why He would talk to me, I tell lies and say bad things!  I think I need to tell the truth.  I think I need to do like Matthew 22:37 (she reads it to me as she flips to the pages about loving God with all your mind, heart, and soul.  Then, she goes on to say she needs to love others, too, like Jesus' second commandment).  Mama, I want to talk to Him!  I am not loving others when I lie to them (wow to that wisdom she pulled out on her own!).  The devil tempts me just like he tempted Jesus.  It just keeps on and on.  

So what are you going to do with all this, Daniela?

I need to read my Bible more and talk to God more to hear Him.  He has told me two verses in 2 weeks!  Why!??  

I had her date the Bible verses He is speaking and she went back in to write it all out in her journal.   

I felt no need to talk it out for her tonight.  I think she came to enough answers on her own and can pray about the rest.

My heart smiles BIG.  I really needed that myself tonight.
