Listening...

Our bedtime conversation tonight:

Me: So Jules, what'd you learn in class tonight?
Jules: I learned about being brave and not being afraid. Well, we talked about Jesus sleeping on a boat with some disciples. There was a big storm with thunder and lightening and everything. There was big waves too. The disciples were really worried and trying to wake up Jesus. So they finally woke up Jesus and he said, 'QUIET! BE STILL! I made all this.' So the waves were calm.
Me: Wow, Jules. That's crazy, huh.
Jules: Yea, and I was a worship leader tonight too. Wanna hear the song?
Me: Course!
Jules: (sings "We Fall Down")
Mike: That's beautiful Jules.
Jules: I was leading worship like the people in your class [the sanctuary where we are] I was singing and raising my hands with my eyes closed and I was focusing on Jesus and thinking about God. And God talked to me.
Me: What did He say?
Jules: He said, "Be brave, it's just your class." (meaning singing in front of them) He said, "You are my favorite girl!"
Me: tears now streaming
Mike: tears streaming
Me: You know Jules, sometimes we don't hear God.
Jules: I know, He talks very quietly
Me: But you were quietly listening to Him, and that's awesome Jules. I'm very proud of you for listening and hearing Him. You are awesome, Jules! (still crying)
