G-ma, God.. and Other Cool Things…

  Lately I have been hearing my G-ma’s voice. It’s not audible, it’s more of a memory of something she said, that passes through my brain. (Which I find somewhat sentimental because G-ma passed away a few years back.) I’ll be driving down the road praying or seeking God and all of a sudden the road noise goes silent and the radio fades into the background and I hear G-ma singing her favorite hymn(s) or I’ll be thinking about advise to give or action to take and I hear G-ma’s voice saying “…you’re al’right, Katie, it’s ‘gunna be al’right…”

  I didn’t always agree with her actions (…words or theories), but she loved Jesus and believed that anything was possible with Him in the equation. (now that I say that.. it goes for both my grandmas. Dent (Love you grandma Dent!) and Seratt.) G-ma used to sit us (grand children) all down at the end of every Sunday service, while grandpa would be closing his sermon, and pray for break through(s) in her “baby’s” life(s). She was very passionate about prayer. She knew that it worked. She had seen it work.

  In the last few hours I have sat at my desk summarizing the greatest things that my G-ma has taught me. G-ma taught me to listen for the still small voice, find peace, pray with passion, and take care of the children. There might be a little more to life… but you can make it pretty far with those four life lessons. (Now, there is a lot to be said about what I didn’t learn growing up. There is a lot to be said about how I learned what I needed to know, but that is for a different blog).

  There is one thing to be certain… I am a product of my G-ma’s prayers. I’ve heard God’s still small voice, I have peace about what He has said, and I have prayed passionately about my calling, and now it is time to go love those children. I’ve had my break through! I’m ‘gunna be a missionary G-ma! Whadd’ya know… prayers do work.

  I want to live my G-ma’s dream of her “baby” living her life fully for Christ. Here’s to you G-ma… thanks for all your prayers!
