I was praying about my role within the team at the Washington House of Prayer, God opened my eyes to how much I have enjoyed spending time with the Hersey kids, the family that Dan and I live with right now. Jason and Kimberlee are the founders of the Washington House of Prayer and have been living and praying for the nation for 7 years. They have a huge heart to see the end of abortion in America and revival here in America. They are a son and daughter of God that talk with him through prayer and have a huge heart of worship. They have four children. Cadance is 7, Blaze is 5, Avella is 3 and Anthem is 7 months old. As I came here 4 months ago, I felt called to stay at home and serve with Kimberlee and help out with the house work and pouring life into her children. The last four months has been a great learning time for me about children and how God sees us and his amazing character towards us always. He always loves and is patient and wants to spend time with us! I have grown in my desire to reflect his character during the day with the kids that God has given me the opportunity to invest in. Below are some pictures of what we do!
I am teaching them American Sign Language throughout the day, which they love! They are signing the first letter for their names! They are children full of life and joy as reflected in this picture! They love to laugh!
Being silly and drinking when Carole is taking a picture!
They love stories, which is great because I love reading stories! We read stories from the bible or other books everyday!
In the picture above, Cadance and Blaze heard Rev. 4 and 5, a picture of worship in heaven at the HOuse of Prayer read aloud and they wanted to hear it again and again. During our bible school in Costa Rica one of our assignments was to draw a picture of the description in Rev. 4 and 5 so one night I brought them out and read Rev 4 adn 5 to them and they found all the people (24 elders, 4 living creatures, angels, lamb who was slain and more) in our pictures! Then they drew their own pictures of worship in heaven! It is so awesome how much they love hearing the Word of God!
Here the kids where playing and Cadance made signs for Sign Language Classes for 1 dollar! Instead of lemonade they were selling ASL classes! With themselves as the teachers! They went outside to see if anyone wanted to learn the signs for fruits and vegetables. It was so adorable!
Children are a blessing from the Lord!
Psalm 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate
