Ringworm in the Morning

 

Roll out of bed.

Shelley: “Hey Courtney, let me see that spot on your neck again.”

Few seconds later…..

“I think you have ringworm.”

 

Hmm, that’s unfortunate.

But nothing a little crème can’t fix.

 

There are quite a few of the babies that we play with have ringworm.

The funny thing about all of this is that every time I’m with the kids,

 I can’t help but think of a specific part in Heidi Baker’s book Compelled By Love

when she’s talking about just holding babies, rocking them back and forth

and not caring that there’s a good chance you’ll get lice or whatever else they may have.

Heidi doesn’t care, she just loves them.

 

I find that that’s where I’m at.

I don’t say this in a prideful way.

I just know that a little fungus isn’t going to stop me

from letting those babies hang on me until the second I leave this place. 

 

I find myself when I’m with those babies.

They teach me how to love.

I am so undone every time they come around.

During the Friday night services, 

those beautiful babies are always on my mind

as they run around just outside the church.

 

The last couple of times,

I’ve just walked out during worship and held one of them.

And I’ll sing over them whatever I feel the Father is saying to me. 

 

One night, as I held a baby boy and sang over him,

I could feel the Spirit doing a work in his body.

I can’t explain it…

It was like something was bursting out of him.

I had the same sensation,

feeling as though my heart was going to jump out of my chest. 

It was a true Kingdom moment. 

 

I’m gonna have a hard time leaving this place. 

 

*PS- I still have $930 to raise. They've extended my deadline. 
Please prayerfully consider hookin' a sister up!
I couldn't do this without you!
May god bless all of you 🙂
