I just love all her questions, even the tough ones that I don&#8217;t know how to answer. She&#8217;s had a few more questions about God and Jesus over the past week. I can&#8217;t remember all of them, but here are a few little stories.<\/p>\n<p>One night before bedtime, she was chattering on and on about how she wants to be a supergirl (super hero). She told me that she was going to ask God for wings so that she could fly.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of days ago, we were in the car when she announced that her toy slinky was broken. I tried to fix it, but the plastic was pretty bent and will probably never be the same. She then asked me if God could fix it for her.<\/p>\n<p>Later in our trip, she asked me, &#8220;Will Jesus live in my heart for<em>ever<\/em>?&#8221; I answered that yes, when we believe in Him, He will stay there forever.

Instead, I am betting that our little girl, who takes everything literally, was just feeling sorry for Jesus having to be &#8220;stuck&#8221; there forever and ever.<\/p>\n<p>A couple months ago, she learned her first memory verse. &#8220;I am with you always.&#8221; Matthew 28:20. I just love listening to her recite it, complete with the reference.
