whenever there's a walk in this house that involves pushing sofia in the stroller, there's a fight.
i mean, she's cute, but seriously kids!
i mean, she's cute, but seriously kids!
b and jk both want to push sof on the path at the park...they go great guns at first. both are pushing along, reminding me how little they need help saying things like "i'm do it by myself" and "i'm am so big. i'm 5 years old".
then we get to the edge of the bridge and there's a bump. one that is bigger than most bumps that we've met along the way...and suddenly, i'm needed.
and before you know it, the girlies are off again, pushing along and doing it all by themselves, with no me in sight.
when the girlies get unfocused and they run off the edge of the path, suddenly i'm needed again. and when i come to the rescue, they decide doing the hard work, staying on the path and asking for help is just too much and they want to go at it alone...and they run to the next bridge and wait.
see the fingerprints of god here??? i do!
see the fingerprints of god here??? i do!
so it occurs to me that in this little walk is a parable of our walk with christ sometimes.
we have times where we are going great guns, both hands on the wheel, and are fired up and pushing with all our might. all of the sudden, we start trying to do little things in life alone...i mean, after all, we are "big" and already doing so much.
then along comes a bump...someone gets sick. we lose some money. our marriage is stressed. and suddenly, we have to urgently look to god to get us over this stinking bump. and we pray. {and we should. we should pray in the hard times...but we are also to pray during the good times too. we are to pray without ceasing...yep. it's true.}
i also know that my lord has redeemed me. i know that in the path of life, he's always there, we just have to choose to see him and talk {pray} with him. i know that in spite of the sadness and pain in this world, god promises to bring hope and peace. i know that in an ever changing, personal seeking, self satisfying, hurting world that one thing never changes...and that's jesus. and for that, i say, wooo hooo. because the path is hard...harder for some. and i know i don't wanna do it alone.
and i don' t...thank goodness.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take."
