“Papa,
this is where Warriors are trained.”
These were
the words uttered from one of my youngest students to his father as they walked
by our school one day.
This
profound statement from a Kindergartener is confirmation to what God told me a
few months prior.
In August,
right before school was to start, I was sitting at my desk looking over the
classroom. Thinking. Praying. In the quietness God spoke to me:
“This
is where warriors will be trained..” He said.
I am training warriors. Warriors.
These aren’t
mere children- these are warriors! This
sort of stuff gets me excited- hearing God speak, getting confirmation about
what he said, realizing the immense responsibility I have been given, and
remembering that it is these kids
that are going to impact nations and change the world!
During class one day, we were talking about different countries when one of my kindergarteners says to me, “Miss Brittaney, I’m going to go to
This
brought tears to my eyes, seeing their passion, excitement, vision, and faith. Wouldn’t it be something
else if one day, we all ended up in China at the same time? I mean, come on
now, that would be more than coincidence! I wouldn’t be surprised though if it
happened, God works in crazy amazing ways and he speaks to even the youngest of
people- often times they can hear him the best as they haven’t had their minds
filled with doubts and very little seems impossible to a child.
Friends,
look at the children around you and learn
from them, champion them- they
believe they can do anything, and really they can. After all, nothing is impossible with God- the dead can be
raised, cancer can disappear, relationships restored.
Become like
a child today. Believe in the impossible- or rather, the possible that we’ve been
told will never happen.
*When I first
felt called to missions, God put the country of China
