So our sweet Essie has been having a little independent streak. So last Sunday after leaving Boston Market our favorite lunch location, she decided not to get right into her seat. So we said we would have to wait there until she did. So Bryan and I closed the doors. She was screaming in protest still. But no hint of obedience evident. So we unbuckled Adeline and left Essie alone (we went to the rear of the car as she was in the floor board.). No change in the direction of obedience, but she did climb into Adeline’s seat and began reading books. So then Adeline and I try to make an obvious movement over to look at flowers. She didn’t seem to mind. Bryan took the books away. There were some tears shed and then Bryan calls Adeline and I back over. She was in her seat. Bryan asked her why did she get into her seat. She replies,
“God told me to!”
Hallelujah, because we certainly teaching her anything. Now to pray harder than ever she continues to obey Him all the time :)
We love you Essie, no matter what!

She is such a sweet little girl....she has a streak of 'independence'....but, she is so concerned about others....She and Addy shared so well when they were out here yesterday!!!
That's it!!! Way to go God and Essie. If only I would obey Him like that!!! Keep it up, Conrads!
and she has such a tender heart....I'm so thankful that she has parents who love GOD and love her!!!
I stumbled upon your blog and just love it. I have a very independent 4 year old that often tells us that she "just doesn't feel like being obedient right now!" and will go put herself in time out until she is ready to do what we asked. You have a beautiful family!
Oh, oh, oh! What a wonderful moment. Good job listening to the Lord, Essie!
Love it!
