early morning conversations

We had K-Love on the radio on the way to school this morning. I guess I wasn't paying attention to what was being said on their news portion, but, Lucy was. They said something about evolution because Lucy immediately asked, " Moma, what is evolution?" Let's remember she is 8 years old and in the 3rd grade. I begin to tell her about evolution and explained to her that we do not believe in it and that we believe in creation. I told her that in just a few years in school and in college that teachers would teach her about this and she would have to learn it and be tested on it. The teachers might not believe it but they had to teach it, but to always remember that even though they teach it she would know it was wrong. God made us. HE created us as humans. I looked back in the rear view mirror and saw her face. Painted upon her face was a look of pure shock. She said, " Wait. Moma are you telling me that my teachers will teach me something that isn't true?" I responded to her with, " yes Lucy but, Jesus is our Lord and Savior and you know the truth and that's all that matters. Don't forget the truth". She is so innocent and trusting and we have so many conversations like this coming our way x3. I pray that God gives me the words and wisdom to talk to them and lead them. Being a child and probably a girl she immediately starts chanting- evolution-no creation-yes. It makes me want to hold my sweet babies close and shield them from the ugly world. I have to remember we need to be in the world and not of the world. Please pray for John and I and other parents of young children as we are teaching and guiding our children so that they will know the truth and stand for the truth.
