Smitten.........



Remember my post earlier in the year when Dakota was terrified of meeting the characters at Disney and the boys had to stand with the characters instead?

I took Dakota to Disney today and she is now smitten with the characters. She just loved seeing the princesses. She kept asking to go back and see them for the rest of the day. She was so touched that Cinderella asked her so many questions and wanted to know about her. It was such a blessing for me to see Dakota be able to enjoy that moment.

I am also touched that God does that same thing for us. He wants to know about us. Sometimes He brings us little moments of joy just to let us know that He cares. It is those moments that allows us to charge forward and keep going when things get tough.

Psalm 138:5-7


"Yes, they will sing about the Lord’s ways,
for the glory of the Lord is very great.
Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble,
but he keeps his distance from the proud.

Though I am surrounded by troubles,
you will protect me from the anger of my enemies.
You reach out your hand,
and the power of your right hand saves me."
