yesterday was friday...and after i got home from picking up emma grace from school... the thunder started...and an afternoon shower followed.....luckily it didn't last very long......and on days like this,,,we pull out the rain boots........the girls put on their "pink" ones,, and warnock got his "waterboots"......eg found them a pretty deep puddle at the bottom of the driveway..............and it was then that i caught myself watching,, and realizing how different they are,, even at puddle jumping.......warnock,,,, is fearless (as long as mom or dad is nearby)....he gets excited, and can't wait to run and "JUMP" in......making the biggest splash possible.................emma grace ,,,, is more cautious.,.,,,i smiled as i watched her take a deep breath, get a starting run, and then close her eyes while holding her breath as she "RAN" thru the puddle as fast as she could.................then there's miss katie,,,.....who on her first attempt,,,,,ran, laughing all the way......then stumbling, and falling into the water, and dirt.....but that didn't break her spirit....she got up and laughed at herself .............and then she tried again....and succeeded!..............................................
watching all this made me think about how God gives us all opportunities, situations, or challenges..........................how do we face them??? are we fearless, diving in without a second thought?,..... are we cautious, holding our breath and hoping for the best.??? or are we willing, and joyful,, even if we fail??
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 (english standard version)
God knows the opportunities, situations, or challenges that will be placed before us...........just TRUST Him..........and don't forget to put on ur rain boots!!
