Hi God, it's me - Brayden

With the threat of severe storms swarming around us on the drive home last night, a weather bulletin interrupted our music to "bring us an important bulletin from the national weather service". The announcer had a deep voice. He spoke slowly, yet with an urgency his voice. When he was done, Brayden said "Mommy, was that God?" I said no, it was the weather man. He said "Well it sounded like God".

He's talks about God/Jesus quite often. I swear he has convinced me that babies live in heaven and then sent to earth. He talks about God as if he knows him, as if he remembers him. We go to church and he hears about God and we do talk about God at home (even though I will shamefully admit, we don't talk about him enough), but I mean it's like he gets it already. He understands who God is. He doesn't question the fact that we can't see him. He believes in Him with absolutly no doubt. Now, I totally understand what "Child-like faith" means.

As we were pulling out of his daycare yesterday after I picked him up, a song was on that mentioned Jesus. He sighed really big and said

B - Great, a Jesus song. (not great good, but great as in "oh great, this again?)
M - Uh, why did you say that?
B - I don't want to listen to a song about Jesus"
M - You will make Jesus sad by saying that . If we want to go to heaven, we have to love and respect God and we should be happy to sing about him.
B - Does everyone go to heaven?
M - Everyone that believes in God, asks him to live in their heart and mind, and lives a God-like life will go to heaven
B *looking very matter-of-factly* - I do believe in Jesus mom, I really do. I think Chloe does too. (his future "honey")

And finally last night when we were talking about the storm we had earlier that day, he said "Jesus pertected my school today during the storm, so that the thunder and lighting wouldn't hurt it".

Oh yeah, I forgot about one more conversation we had. Me and Bobby and Brayden were all sitting on the couch last night talking about Brayden's day and he mentioned the "Jesus protectiong his school" thing again, so I mentioned what he had said about the weather guy sounding like God. The weather happen to be on at the time and Brayden pointed to the weather man and inquired...

B - Well, then is he God?
M - No, you can't see or hear God on the TV.
B - But I CAN hear him.
M - But not on the TV.
B - I know that mom, I can hear him in my head!
M - What does God say to you?
B - He tells me to make good choices at school and go to circle time!

And all this time, I've been patting myself on the back because he behaves so well!!
