WOW! :(

I had to get onto Alyssa before I had Job every wednesday for having a bad attitude and acting out and then when i took off for having Job it stopped well when we got back into bible study she started acting up again so last week i went and looked into the window of her class and saw this little girl running and ranting and pulling on the other girls. so after that bible study was over i talked to her about the little girl, and found out that she thought this little girl was alot of fun, I then informed her that just because being bad may look fun does not make it right. Also that Alyssa needed to try to set an example for this girl so she could see how to act right. 

well today when i picked Alyssa up from her class i could tell something was bugging her so when we got into the car i started questioning her like normal about what she learned about then i went into how today was with the little girl and she said that she did not play with her because she was not acting how Alyssa knew to act. and that one of her freinds and her actually told on this little girl. we talked about why and then prayed to god, praising him for giving Alyssa strength to do what was right even though it was tough and then we prayed for the little girl that she would see an example in Alyssa. 

By this time we had pulled up to the place where i was getting lunch and as i opened the back door for the kids Alyssa is standing there with tears swelling up in her eyes and asked if I could pray with her again and of course i say yes and then ask why and she looked at me such hurt in her eyes as she says, "she said she hates me" and then started to cry hard. I started to cry as well and just hugged her. we prayed and went inside when we came out with our food to go home to eat with daddy as we were pulling out she said, "mommy why did she say that to me?" my heart sank i did not want to answer this in a wrong way and just crush her even more so i said a little breathe prayer and waited then said, "Alyssa sometimes when we do what God wants us to do bad things happen for example you were obeying your mommy like God commands and the devil does not want you to do what God wants so he made that little girl say that to you"  then i suggested that we pray for that little girl again and we did.  we talked all the way home about the devil and God.

I told her that when Will layed down for his nap that we would talk this over with daddy and she said why? your an adult (isn't she funny) i told her that her daddy is a very wise man and should be willing and wanting to take all of our worries to him because God has put daddy over us to guide and instruct us. she then said mommy ya know proverbs says alot of good things about being wise! lol!

I have always known that my mommy moments were not always going to be seeing their faces light up when i tell them we are making edible playdoe but that there were going to be those times when we were seriously going to have those talks when it just hurts you both i just did not expect to happen right know. :(

Thank you for your sweet remarks about the kids. Yours look precious as well. I will be praying for God to be glorified and your little one to really see HIM work in BSF. I look forward to following your blog. Amy :)

Lisa, you did one great job...
We don't have answers to all questions.
I can't quite understand, is the children in another locale when you have Biblestudy? Are their supervisors? Do they do something like Biblestudy themselves?

Lisa said...

yes they are in another location, yes there are supervisors and yes they do their own biblestudy class at this time. this happened during their quiet time.
