The Father is moving among the children!!!

Check out what is happening with the children and young teens at the Burns!!! This testimony is from the March Burn in Boise!

My 13 year old daughter had finished painting and decided to stop by the writing and drawing table. She began drawing a picture she titled “Path Of Faith”. She wasn’t pleased with the first copy and decided to start over. Finally she finished her pictures and decided to take them home but left the two that didn’t meet her standards and figured someone would throw them away. After we left the Burn that night, a woman had received a word from the Lord and had written it in her journal. It was about a path of faith and how our walk of faith needed road signs, guidepost etc. Finished with her journal entry, she walked past the drawing table and laughed out loud when she saw the pictures my daughter had drawn titled “Path of Faith”. I was unaware of this until the next day…….

The next day we returned to the Burn only to find that someone had decided to share their journal entry on several pieces of paper with my daughters pictures on the top and bottom, and it was taped to the wall. I glanced at them and since I didn’t give more than a glance the night before, the pictures seemed familiar but I wasn’t certain. I asked my husband if they were our daughter’s pictures and he wasn’t sure either. A woman came to me and asked if I knew who drew them…I said…my daughter…we hugged and she told me in her words how God had used the pictures.

When I told my daughter that her pictures were on the wall at church I was able to share that even when we think our work isn’t how it should be or it didn’t turn out how we had planned or it wasn’t “good enough” in our eyes, that God can and will still use what we offer in a powerful way. Sometimes we get to hear the impact our simple worship or offering and what a gift it is when we do. Her face was pleased the next day when we went to church to see her work displayed …and that He thought it was good enough to be hung on the wall of the church. It was perfect in His eyes.
