This is a message from Nuk (Aleja: Marna's daughter) to me (June). The night before, she sort of had a vomiting spell. We explained to her that sometimes when you are nervous or upset about something, it may make you sick to your stomach. We shared how it could possibly be her nerves. Especially, after taking her STAR exam and this whole incident with her Grandpa. I told her every morning since Daddy had the heart attack, I wake up feeling sick to my stomach. But I know I have to move forward. After patiently listening to us, (especially me, sharing my feelings with her) she politely said, "Auntie, I am not nervous about taking my STAR test. And I am not worried about Grandpa because God already told me HE is taking care of him and everything. But I did feel sick 30 minutes after I ate those french fries my mama bought me from Wendy's."
Hahaha! I thought, "Oh. Well, excuuuuse me." But since she knew I was having issues every morning, she figured she would pray for me. I received this message later that morning on my cell:
Proverbs 22:6 (Amplified Bible)
Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Ephesians 6:4 (Contemporary English Version)
Parents, don't be hard on your children. Raise them properly. Teach them and instruct them about the Lord.
Lord, continue to show us how to raise and train Nuk in her own individual gifting and for the exact purpose you have called her. ;-) We are seeing and benefiting from the fruits of our labor. Amen! By the way, I have not been sick to my stomach in the morning since her prayer. Lol!
