In the Beginning...

In the beginning, there was a little girl who saw the world in black and white. What was right was right and life was good. God was good. This little one still believes that God is good and her goal is to always remain a child of faith who can look at the world and say  "Somehow, some way, God is in control". 

Mark 10: 14-16 "When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." 

We as adults call it silly or naive and think of that as a bad thing when a child asks God for something small and seemingly insignificant. When a child asks for a rainbow on a cloudy day, we roll our eyes and think "yeah right, good luck". Yet we are put to shame when it happens and the child never had any doubts. We want to see God do something amazing and yet fail to see the things he is showing us. We need to go back to a world where we are not distracted by all the noise and business,  when we were in awe of the world and not just living in it. We have lost the awestruck, joyful feeling that we had as a little child. A child does not always understand the goings on, but they trust that Mommy and Daddy will look after them. We  need to trust in Daddy again. We need to go back to the beginning.
