She fell asleep on me as I sat in the rocking chair singing her songs about ponies while Hyrum babbled and yelled at our feet, playing with mini flashlights and shining them in our faces. She was pretending at first, I could see her smirky smile beneath her closed eyes. But then off to sleep she went, because any time she holds still for a few minutes, she is quick to doze off. She is go-go-go, never wanting to miss a thing, and not wanting to slow down, a lot like me.
We had family home evening over spaghetti just the three of us because Jake was working late. I told them the story of Shadrach Meeshach and Abendago and how they got thrown into the big fire by the King of Babylon because they prayed to God. I asked Ava what she thought happened. She said that it would all be ok because God would protect them, He would take care of them. She has faith this little one. And protect them He did. They were completely unharmed, standing in the midst of the fire with an angel. After that the king believed. And I believe too. I know that if we are doing our best to follow Jesus Christ and do His will, we’ll be taken care of. We can have faith in that. It will all work out. I love that Ava believes that too, I hope she always does. #mamanotes
