I...First of all this was one really beautiful post. It hit my heart. <BR/><BR/>I don't know why God didn't take the wheel in my life.<BR/><BR/>This might not be that answer but I see this only as a very disobedient child. I was one. I look back at my life and wonder why? Why has He let that happen? Why didn’t he stop me? Why didn’t he stop them? I won’t get into the fact that at times He was yelling at the top of His lungs for me not to do it. <BR/><BR/>The answer for me is: Now you’re an adult. You will always be my child but now you are equipt to make sound decisions to raise children, to speak to those in need, to understand those who have lost control of the wheel. <BR/><BR/>I see God as a loving parent who has said “No” so many times that He has to let us touch the hot stove so that finally our brains go “Ouch just like Dad said it’s hot” He’s the one who comforts us, He blows on the burn and heals the blister. He leaves the scar so that we know make that choice again and you’ll get hurt. <BR/><BR/>God doesn’t reveal His plan to us all at once He lets us uncover it little by little. He lets others see it and show you what they find in you. You have to open your eyes to it. It’s there it’s in your heart, it’s in you home, it’s in your words. It’s a friend far away who needs to be able to talk once in a while to know they aren’t alone in the world. It’s in the day-to-day moments in your world. “You can do big things in small ways” is my favorite saying because just being nice in the checkout of the store when the person in front of you is rude goes a long way. A simple quiet prayer as you pass a troubled co-worker. A wink or a smile at the right moment. Writing a note to someone for bringing cookies to a gathering. God may not set Milly and Kevin up for large mission trips He may not lead us to preach from the pulpit His plan for us could be to raise our children and be just what we are. I like that. I know it’s difficult at times and so does He. <BR/><BR/>I love Footprints In The Sand. It shows how impatient we are and how we are loved in spite of it. <BR/><BR/>Thank you friend for a reminder. <BR/><BR/>Miss Littles loves the song she can really belt it out.Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1157738538432543442006-09-08T14:02:00.000-04:002006-09-08T14:02:00.000-04:00Thanks!Thanks!Andreia Huffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826389170105845825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20104292.post-1157727802531673542006-09-08T11:03:00.000-04:002006-09-08T11:03:00.000-04:00You get me sometimes.
