Easily one of the top 5 moments of my life occurred last night. It was one of those times when you realize in the midst of the moment, that this is a memory in the making... where you think to actually take a mental picture to save for later.
As many of you know, we have been walking a faith journey concerning Knox's heart for the last 10 months and as we walk closer to a procedure date, this mama's heart has felt the pull to ask for healing in an intense way, as you can imagine. So tonight, our little family huddled up on Knox's twin size bed to pray together- not just our normal bedtime prayers- but a more earnest and heartfelt prayer. And in the midst of this prayer, I look up to find my opinionated, wild, energetic boy quietly sitting between his parents, with a hand on each of our legs, staring up at his daddy... wide-eyed, and perfectly still and silent. Which if you know Knox even a little bit.... THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN. And this was just the most beautiful picture and representation of how I believe God desires for us to relate to Him in the toughest moments of our lives. Of course, He loves our personalities and conversations and He wants us to bring Him our desires and our troubles... but the best moments are when we sit quietly before Him, trusting that He knows best and has everything under control. Like our 2 year old, we may not necessarily even know what is really going on in the moment, but we know that our Father, who loves us more than anything, is with us, is protecting us, and is leading and teaching us. Tonight, I learned from my toddler a true picture of what it means to BE STILL AND KNOW. And though we have not received it yet, this season of praying for healing brought me this moment, and for that I am thankful.
