The Time I Heard God Talk to Me

One time I was sitting down eating oatmeal. I didn’t want to finish it, but Mommy said I should. I was complaining when I heard a voice say, “Kaden.” It sounded like my daddy telling me to obey. So I said, “Yes, Daddy!” My mom said, “Dad’s not here.” So I was thinking it was a voice from God. Mommy agreed. “I think God was telling you that you need to be obedient,” she said. “God has put Daddy and I in authority over you and He wants you to listen to us.”
