Last night before bed, I laid next to Lola and told her to pray with me. Flea had emailed the day before in regards to my post, "You know, maybe this is something you should ask Lola to pray about. It would be a good lesson in prayer and talking to God, as well the gravity of decisions." I thought about it and realized it was worth a try on my head-strong daughter. To her God is a mythical creature with powers stronger then the tooth fairy. I had nothing to lose. And so, I encouraged Lola to ask God a question about what sports we should sign her up for and maybe her heart would answer. She looked up at me inquisitively, "You mean... I can ask God questions and he will answer?" I explained enough to extinguish her curiosity. Minutes later Lola, not missing a beat, smiled. "Gymnastics and horse back riding. My heart told me so." "Good. Those are very good choices for the fall." "But I want them to be all day long, Mama. All day long riding a horse and all day long gymnastics. Just like you signed me up for all day long kindergarten." "Hmmmm... I don't know about all day long." "Ok. Well. How about a pony then?" "Yeah... I don't think so, Lola." "Ok. Well. Dear God. Will you please buy me a pony with blond hair just like mine?" She carefully stroked her blond curls and then shouted "Amen!" Dear God. Seriously, why a blond pony?  |
