HGTV\u2019s Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines was reminded of the importance of childlike faith, from a unique moment shared with her daughter.<\/p>\n

The Christian mother of five took to Instagram on Sunday to share the encounter. Gaines posted a photo of her daughter Emmie\u2019s vanity. She noticed something was written on it. But before she could get angry at the eight-year-old, she looked a little closer.<\/p>\n

Drawn on with purple marker, her daughter had wrote, \u201cHi God what are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Instagram post, Gaines stated: “I stared at her question and loved the thought of it and that that’s how she talks to God. May her faith always stay childlike and may I remember what she seems to already know. That God is the most relational and the most kind, and always near.”<\/p>\n

Gaines had witnessed a piece of an intimate conversation between her daughter and God. Nearly 1.5 million people responded to the photo on Instagram alone. But more so, it seems the photo made a powerful impression on all those who saw it.<\/p>\n

One user commented on the picture saying, “Thank you, Emmie, for the wonderful lesson to all of us. God is always at our shoulder waiting for us.”<\/p>\n

Another user wrote, “Amen!! God Bless little Emmie…. We all could learn from her childlike Faith.. Thank You for sharing this!. God Bless your family,”<\/p>\n

Gaines and her husband Chip have always been open about their Christian faith. They inspire many Christian families across America through their social media channels and television shows.<\/p>\n

Walked into Emmie’s bathroom this morning and my heart stopped for a second when I thought she had sharpied all over her vanity. And then I took a moment and really read what she wrote and thought, “Well that isn’t the worst thing to be permanent”. Then I touched it and realized it was erasable<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
