A childhood moment I’ve never forgotten..
When I was 5 years old… I wanted to go outside and play..
But my mama said no — because it was storming..
And what Mama says… goes..
Thunderbolt and lightning…
very very frightening…
I stood there at the glass screen door.. watching the storm roll and roar —
and I knew what I needed to do if I wanted to go outside anytime soon..
I wasn’t your typical five-year-old boy..
So I went before my God..
I prayed to Him..
I thanked Him..
I asked for His help..
And then — with the kind of faith only a child can hold —
I spoke with authority to the storm…
and commanded it to stop..
And just like that —
it did..
The wind… the rain… the thunder… the lightning…
ceased immediately..
Sunlight broke the clouds.
Silence fell..
And I walked out into the yard…
to play…
“” I was so much older then… I’m younger than that now …””
