In the Beginning...

Remember back to the first time you heard the story of Creation, or Noah's ark, or of Abraham having to almost sacrifice his son. When we hear those stories as children, we find them pretty exciting! That is what all of these girls are experiencing right now! Every story to them is brand new. I love getting to start in Genesis and walk them through the Bible. It definitely brings a smile to my face when I say we have to stop for the night and will continue the story the next day and each of the girls gives a little sigh. One of my favorite parts though is hearing the girls' questions afterward and what they learned from the story. I get questions from "So do the stars have babies?" after talking about how God told Abraham his descendants would outnumber the stars; to "What happened to all the babies on the earth when God flooded it?". This is part of what makes devotion one of my favorite hours of the day. We have devotion once in the morning and once at night everyday. The morning is filled with worship and signing praises to God and lots of praying. Evening devotion is when we dive into the word. I love that we are showing these girls what it really means to start and end you day fully dependent on God.
