Isaac, 4

Isaac, holding a measuring tape along my arm:  "Mama!  You weigh up to ten minutes!"  

Hannah, 6 & Isaac, 4

Hearing a commotion in Isaac's room, I walk in to find both kids jumping around singing, clapping, praising God with all their hearts!  This is what I could capture and remember of their new songs to God!

Isaac:  If you are lonely and sitting in a chair.  Without a mother or father or brother or sister.  There is one Man who can come to you.  His name is Jesus!  Jesus!  Jesus!  JESUS!  He is strong.  And courageous.  And mighty.  And good!  If there is a karate statue, Jesus can come and make it a person.  And then he will do karate.  But Jesus will make him a good person.  Everyone lift up your hands and shout to JESUS!  JESUS!  Jesus and His angels can come while you are sleeping and wake you up.

Hannah:  God and His angels come, too.  Fill my heart with something new.  Angels are floating and flying gracefully.  They are flying around me in a group.  Everyday I step outside I see a twinkling star.  I look up and see it is the apple of my eye.  I go to see the animals grow.  I pet a kitten and say, "you are blessed!"  I see a panther; it is the grace that is in my heart.  I know what I am doing and seeing in my heart.  Lift your hands up to praise!  Let's jump around for joy because the King is coming!  C'mon, let's praise until the Lightness comes.  The Key of God.  God!  So, my heart is broken.  You fill it up, then it feels better when I praise.  It feels so good inside!  Cause my heart is my faith!  God wants us to look for faith!  He wants us to look for faith!  He wants us to look at faith!  He wants to make us a rainbow!   He wants to make us a rainbow of joy, a rainbow of peace.  C'mon let's clap your hands!  So my heart burns.  So my heart burns but doesn't rise.  It's just You alone.  And my heart burns.  It's just You alone on the throne.  It's You alone on the throne!

Isaac: "Mama, I like the legos you got for me. But the thing I like the most is God. Toys are not something to worship."

Isaac, 3

Papa:  "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Isaac:  "I just want to be a father."
Papa:  "But what job will you do?"
Isaac:  "I will just make money."
Papa:  "How?"
Isaac:  "I will make money with kindness."

Hannah, 6

Hannah: "I think sunshine tastes like bright"

Hannah, 5

Hannah, to tune of Feliz Navidad: "I got fleas on my dog!  I got fleas on my dog!"

Hannah, 5

Hannah: "When anyone starts praying I see colors all over with my eyes!"

Isaac, 3

Isaac, concerned about his jeans being unbuttoned: "Mama! My pants are uncoupled!"

Isaac, 3

Isaac: "Is 'God' Jesus' middle name?"

Isaac, 3

Sam had a bad sinus headache and was resting on the couch, Isaac walks up to him, puts one hand on his head and one on his chest and prays: "Pain, leave Papa's body right now in the name of Jesus!"

Hannah, 5

I read to Hannah and Isaac a story of Jesus healing a cripple.  Hannah leaned back and said with a big smile and genuine enthusiasm:  "Oh!  He's so awesome!"

Isaac, 3

I walked into the living room, where worship music was playing, and found Isaac laying down on the floor.  I bent over him and asked what he was doing.  He replied:  "Oh, I just have the Presence."

Isaac, 3

I was worshipping and Isaac was playing quietly in the room.  The music was soft and the peace of God was heavy.  Isaac laid down on the floor and was still and quiet.  I asked him if he felt heavy like he had to lay down, and he said yes.  So I told him that was the presence of God, the Holy Spirit, and that he could just stay there and think about Jesus and enjoy it.  He stayed that way for 10 minutes or so before getting up and returning to his play!

Isaac, 3

During our family prayers before bed, Isaac was bouncing around, laughing, and talking goofy gibberish, so I asked him if he was praying in the Spirit.  He said, "No, I am praying in giggles!"

Isaac, 3

The Jericho Center, at Every Home For Christ, hosts an almost 24/7 intercessory prayer/worship like IHOP.  It is a beautiful facility, and the atmosphere is even better.  I love sneaking off there whenever I can to soak in the Presence.  I like to take the kids with me, too.  They sit at the tables in the back and draw.  I catch them singing along and the
pictures they draw while in that atmosphere are precious!  Once, Isaac showed me a paper with squiggles all over it and said, "Mama, this is a letter to God.  It says, 'Jesus, I love You in my heart very much!"

Hannah, 5

We went to the Indian grocery store, where the owner is Hindu and has small statues of his gods on the shelf.  Hannah was talking with him and pointed to the statues and said, "Do you pray to those false gods? We don't!  We only worship Jesus!  You should worship Him, too!"

Hannah, 5

I had IHOP's Prayer Room Live Stream playing over my iphone, and God showed up.  I was dancing in the living room, and I noticed Hannah joining me.  She was dancing with the ribbon rings and started repeating this one movement over and over.  She said to me, "Mama, this is my heart opening up to God"  Not a minute after she said that, while she was still dancing, Misty Edwards starts singing in the Spirit about the heart responding to God!  Hannah's eyes got huge and she smiled real big!  It was such a precious moment, when she got to experience not only the presence of God but also moving in His Spirit and connecting with others in that way!

Hannah, 5

Hannah, praying: "Jesus, would You come to me. Because Satan is coming against me to make me angry. Would You please just get to me before he does."

Isaac, Prophetic Picture

Isaac will be like an arrow:  piercing the darkness with Love; flying straight and true in Faith; powered by the Holy Spirit.  The Lord is crafting him accurately and will loose him in power and purpose!

Hannah, 4

Tonight, Hannah stood on the coffee table in the living room and began making these declarations in rapid fire with passion and authority...


"Jesus says, 'I am not a giraffe or a goat.  I am a Lion and a Lamb.'
I will not praise anyone but Jesus.
I will not fear the bad guys because they are killed.  I have a Lion and a sword with me!
I will praise God forever!
I am a sword and I will shine the light of a crown for the Lord.
The Lord is my Helper, I will not fear!
I will praise the Lord and not any statue.  I will praise the only God. 
The Lord is my Savior and I can break the chains of the devil!"
