I Want My Child-Like Mind Back

When I was around 4 or 5 years old, sitting in my Mame's lap, I asked the question, "Mame, did you make God?"

Yes, that really happend and yes, I was being dead serious.  It was only logical for me to think that.  My Mame is such a Godly women and it shows through and through.  From the time I was able to talk and probably before, she was constantly talking to me about this so called God.  I was fascinated and in aww of how much she knew about this loving gracious person that she called Jesus, God, Christ.  I wanted to know more and more and I just could not get enough.  I was the child who asked so many questions.  I was "that" child that got on everyone else's nerves because of all the questions I asked.  I remember having long conversations with my Dad about God and who He was as a child.  I craved it.  I wanted it.  As I got older, that craving and feeling was not as strong.  That curiosity almost went away.  It is so amazing how a childs mind works.  In my 5 year old mind, it only seemed logical that my Mame made God.  She knew so much about Him and always talked about Him.  Later, I came to understand that my Mame has that child-like mind where she wants to know more and craves The Word.  I am learning to go back to my child hood days to where I could not get enough of God.  Everyday, I want to know more and more.  Before I read my bible, I pray for the understanding and the excitement  that I want to get when I open it up and read.  I want to be more like my Mame who has so much wisdom and understanding of who God is.  I want to be a walking, living example to everyone that I come across.  I want people to see me as someone different.  I want people to want and question why I am so different from this world.  I want the Christ-like mind that only a child has.  I want the curiosity to never go away of who God is.  I want to have so much wisdom and know so much, that a young curios child may come up to me and question, "Hannah, did you make God?"  God wants that intimate relationship with us where we know everything about Him.  He is calling us to have a child-like mind where we can not get enough of Him.  That is what I strive for every day.

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3
