the Little Ones…

Umm so I don’t have any, nor do I want one at this time. Well that is not entirely true, lately the thought has crossed my mind more than once. I cannot get over the joy that children bring. It is contagious; the energy, the life, the beauty that comes from a child. Who would have guessed?

I have a chance bi-weekly to spend time with kids at the church I attend. They are everywhere. I spend time with them on Wednesday nights and on Sundays you can’t make a move without running into one of the cute little rug rats. Umm, epiphany, RUG… RAT… get it? The kids are on the floor all the time…. This is like a new revelation. Wow! I gotta get out more. Okay back to my kid thing.

So God showed me in a dream a couple of years ago about children. As I walked through this crowd of children of all different nationalities I laid my hands on them and marveled at this expierence I was having. When I woke up I just was in awe of the meaning behind this. He was birthing in me the nations of children He wants me to touch. Pretty stinking cool! The dream is like yesterday, I can see me perfectly standing there with this swarm of beautiful faces around, as I just loved on all of them, one at a time.
So I have sat on that dream for a while now and it seems to be that just the last couple of months my mind has been more consumed with the children of this world. So many precious souls, so many innocent and pure hearts that are unfortunately tainted by this mean old world by some circumstance or another: poverty, hunger, disease. It is just NOT STINKING FAIR!!!

This guy I love to listen to say this, “what if the problem in this world is not poverty, what if it is not hunger, what if the problem in this world is not that the school systems are bad or the war on drugs is not working? What if the problem has nothing to do with these things and has everything to do with the lack of goodness and love? So we are mandated. I am mandated. God has given me a vision and I see the need and I am moving with Him, in Him and for Him to make goodness prevalent in my world, not the WHOLE world, but MY world.

“If you can’t feed 100 people, just feed one.” -Mother
So this is for all those beautiful children that deserve so much more than our means, they deserve the tangible love of Christ. Who’s down to go out and give some love out????

This is one girl I met today. Her name is Jazz and she is a huge fan Dora the Explorer. I personally do not know Dora but sounds like a cool girl- the whole explorer thing. This precious jewel came up to me today at the Dream Center and said she wanted to come home with me. My heart broke then melted and then smiled. She is one life I can touch now, today, for such a time as this. Soon it will be 10, then 100 then 1000s??? I will blog when I get past that point because it will definitely be a memorable moment. Till then, one life, each day and no worries about the time.
