The Little Man and Prayer

A few months ago I found this great website, www.inspiredtoaction.com, and printed the calendar so that I could start praying daily for Zane. I also found one on there for husbands and printed that off as well. I didn't so so great in following the calendar at that time in regards to praying for either of my boys. I decided that I would start with the new year and follow along with the dates.  I am doing great and I can say that I am seeing changes in my little man.  I know that prayer has a lot to do with it as does his growing up but I tend to think it is more God!  I thought I would share a few stories that have happened in the past few days with Zane and I just know it is all God!

Zane has always been a sweet and loving little man but there have been challenges as well. He is a product of Jim and I and is just as stubborn as we both can be.  The past few days he has been not showing his stubbornness and starting to do as we ask.  Things just seem to be getting easier.  He isn't arguing with us much when he is asked to do things either. I know that we are changing too as God doesn't change just one part of the body.

Story time:

Last night Zane decided to tell us that he needed new shoes. He said that his shoes where too tight and small. I had to think about when we got the shoes, last May and bought them big, so I was shocked. He tried them on and had Jim check out his toe location and yep they are way too small. Zane started to cry as we think he thought he was going to get into trouble for needing shoes. We told him that wasn't true and he snuggled up into his daddy's arms.  Zane then proceeded to try on all his shoes to make sure that they still fit. He had so much fun and he already has his new shoes picked out, in his mind. He wants the shoes that his friend David got but I am not so sure they will have those anymore. Guess we shall see what he picks out at the store when we go shopping today.

This morning Zane was being very quiet in the bathroom, and I went to see what he was doing. He was cleaning the bathroom for me with baby wipes. In the past when we have asked him to help he would walk away but the past week he has been very helpful. I didn't laugh when he I saw him but gave him a great big hug and told him thank you!   I shared the story with Jim and he was just as amazed as I was. I know that God is hearing our prayers and I have to say that I am loving the  results! I know that we will still have challenges as we have many more years ahead of us but I love this little man more and more every day!

I am not going to stop praying for either of my boys, Jim or Zane. And the more I pray the more my love for them and God grows!

Love you all,
