You see,...I want a do-over of my life with my kids. You see, I was the type who had said, "I got this, now get OUT of the kitchen!" Huge sigh....looking back, it could have been the time for happy talks and loving situations...but no, as you had pointed out, the perfectionist in me thought I could do it better myself. So...enjoy those "sticky times!" Because as it is, my kids nowadays can't cook anything more than a frozen pizza or scrambled eggs...I COULD have taught them...I coulda-shoulda-woulda...and didn't. :( boy is hindsight 20/20!!

That is why God is supernatural and I am here in the natural trying to get it in my pea sized brain." I think this is why, after all of the stories that make up the Old Testament, God sent His only Son here to earth, to show all of us His love!!!! People just were not understanding what God was all about...even back then, He was some Omnipotent Being....and unless there was a burning bush or seas needing to be parted, folks just understand His true love for us. So, Jesus came and showed us what God is all about...by doing God-like things. What gets me is how even then, folks STILL did not understand, and destroyed what they did not know. and this phrase sums it all up so nicely: "You see sometimes it takes getting messy before we can get free. Sometimes it takes getting messy with God before we know there is something we should really be desiring to get free from." May peace be with you and all of us who need to be shown our messiness in order to get it cleaned up!!!

But act I did...because it was needed for all of God's own good to be able to occur in my life. The few times when I ignored His Voice...I got into so many troubles, problems and issues. I had to dig myself out of a hole of my own doing. Even when it doesn't make sense to me at the time...for me to act positively on God's Voice has led me to wonderful places! Thanks be to God for that!!! I feel so blessed!

Then as I look back...I see only one set of footprints...He has me...and I, fully rested, can now get down and once again, walk with Him. I do believe also that struggles give us an opportunity to talk to God....because if not for struggles, our lives would be merry and it would be so easy to take God's presence for granted, maybe forgetting that He is there for us. Yes, I have grown in my struggles....hard as it can be...thanks be to God!! Diane Baumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17615150747259629622noreply@blogger.com
