Life is hard. These last 2 months have been difficult ones for me personally, professionally, emotionally. I found myself on the verge of shaking my fist at God several times wondering, why? This week I was given an opportunity that totally blew my mind with gratitude to God for how He provided for me, only to be hit the very next day with a disappointment so stunning, I found those fingers curling back up, fist pointed at heaven. Why? Why do You give only to take away? You know our need. Why? And as a result of that blow, we had to make a decision that just tore out our hearts. BUT, God. God. He intervened and made it all possible. Decision reversed. One huge disappointment sandwiched between two beautiful gifts from the One Who knows the desires of our hearts and wants to show us how much He really does know and love us. He asks me to trust Him. Who am I to think I know better than the creator of the universe? Yikes. I am a brat. A whiny, complaining, crying baby. When things dont go my way, I act just like my three-year-old. I hear Gods voice speaking to me as I speak to my own kids. To Kinley, Oh my, life is so difficult for you, you tiny baby. You have everything you could ever need. To Wyland, You have to be patient. You cant have everything you want when you want it. You have to share. To Lincoln, Be persistent. Keep practicing. Youre not going to be an overnight sensation. The words hang in the air as I hear God whispering them to me through my very own mouth. I have everything I need because I have the One Who owns it all. I am entitled to nothing and its better to share anyway. I am called to persevere, not to have everything handed to me on a silver platter. Although, this week, I feel a little spoiled. Thanks, Dad.
