Yesterday started out so lovely, so wonderful, and I am glad because I had hope that as the rest of the day slid and spun out of my control I knew that it was okay.
God designed these days perfectly for me.
He has also designed your day perfectly for you. He can do nothing but that which is good.
I was pondering these things as I fished 8 rolls of unrolled toilet paper out of the toilet last night. I am still meditating on this while I share my morning coffee with my two year old. (Not my choice but he's sneaky, and I drink it black, so he's just weird.)
Remember that this world and what it represents is not what 'it's' about. There is a season for everything, and mine right now is keeping sane from 5 little people who want to suck the life out of me, because that is their nature, and I recognize that in myself. The Lord is teaching me grace, and as I continue with this lesson, I am continually drawn closer to Him.
That is better than good.
I totally understand. It's amazing how God uses our kids to reveal our rough edges to us. We want to order our world, to be in control, to have everything work out well. God reminds us through our kids that this is His world, that we are but servants, and that we are not in control. It is a good lesson to learn. We also learn patience, perseverence, and persistence. Some day you will laugh when you tell this story.
