I had an interesting conversation with my middle daughter,
Kylia, the other day. She recently
turned eight years old, and the wheels have been turning in her mind. She asked a question that made me stop and
really think, and pray, before answering.
“Mommy, is it hard to love Jesus in high school?”
How was I to answer this?
We talked for a while, but the next day I didn’t feel we had really
dealt with the heart of the issue. After
further questioning, I discovered that her reason for asking the question was
because, “It seems like boys might distract you from Jesus.”
Kylia is a thinker.
She is observing, reflecting, and questioning constantly. She has a heart for the Lord and at the age
of eight is already seeing areas that need to be fortified in order to remain
steadfast for Jesus. Can boys distract
you from Jesus? Yes, Sweety, they
can. But as daddy mentioned after
hearing of this conversation, “The RIGHT boy will point you to Him.”
