While cleaning up yesterday, which is my least favorite thing to do, I found this ball. It was as if God was reminding me that I needed this storm to put some things back into perspective. Some days I get so involved with my plan that I forget to even invite Him into our quite time. I go through the motions of checking off a box showing that I've read some verses. And I do this without ever hearing what He may be trying to say to me. My plan for having time with Jesus on these particular days is not successful. By doing this, I am showing God that I am still very stubbornly trying to control what is happening in my life. We all know that God has a plan for our lives, but we will not be successful in living out His plan unless we allow Him to help us succeed. This ball reminded that I have got to listen for His voice in every triumph and yes, tragedy. I have got to invite Him into our quiet time and listen for His still, small voice. Thank you God for using my child's handwriting and this storm to remind me that in order for me to be successful, I need Your help and maybe I should clean my house more.
