She wanted to talk to me about her feelings. It was 11 pm and we both should have been long asleep. I was tired. But you have to take such moments when you can get them. So I laid down next to her and made some interesting discoveries.
She feels a lot of pressure being the oldest kid because what if she makes mistakes and then Caleb and Henry follow her example. So we talked through that.
Also, she keeps a picture of a map in her mind and adds different colors to parts she has visited. Florida is pink. Virginia is green. Egypt is brown.
And this (quoted as close as I can remember): "I found the scriptures open on your desk and I wondered why you kept reading them. So I started reading. The words were all weird and I didn't understand anything. But I felt really happy. I think that was God telling me I should believe in the scriptures."
