Before you read this post google Ella sings Elvis and watch this angel baby sing.
Michael and I went on an impromptu date tonight that has rocked my world. We were sitting at Sonic and I saw the post on Facebook of Ella singing Elvis. I couldn't even believe all her cuteness so I had to show Michael. So we sat and ohhh'd and awwww'd over her. The Lord started softening our hearts FAST. I just couldn't get over her saying,"Daddy!!!! Hi Daddy", and him being sooooo sweet saying," Hi Ella". He was soooooooooo kind no matter how many times she said it. And I loved that she would turn her head and look and wait EXPECTING him to respond to her. There was not ONE OUNCE of fear in her eyes or her wondering or worried he was not going to respond to her. She was sooooo at peace. Michael asked me why this was making such an impact. Then the words,"She wanted and waited for him to call out her name" came out of the mouth of heaven and into our car and we had a God encounter. It took Michael's breath away and as I was processing those words coming out of my mouth I began to weep!! I had NO CLUE how those words were going to forever change me. I said,"Love we just want to hear the Lord say our name". Think about the video and you be Ella and let the Lord be the Daddy. You call out," Daddy, Hi Daddy" and let him call back to you, "Hi (fill in the blank with your name/nickname)". Hear it in HIS voice. Ohhhhh my word that will rock you to your core if you sit in it for a minute. EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET wants to hear someone call out their name!!!!! When the big 6'5 250lb football player is on the field and a kid hollers their name, they smile no matter how tough they are!!!! Or when a baseball player is on the field and his Dad says,"come on Connor" you see him smile from the mound. When a "missionary" son is leaving for Germany and he hears his parents yell out, " Bye Dorian" he turns around and smiles. We are born with the innate sense of being needed. If someone knows your name it makes you feel special. But if you hear Him call your name, you are KNOWN.
So my challenge for you right now is to call out,"Daddy Hi Daddy" to Him and let Him respond.........
