My Way!

A couple nights ago we were getting ready to have supper and Dakota was determined that she was going to have "Ogurt" (yogurt) before supper. When I say determined, I mean DETERMINED! She tried asking every kind of way she could, but I simply told her that in a few minutes we were going to have supper and that she could have some yogurt later. I hadn't turned my back more than a few minutes and she had grabbed a yogurt out of the fridge, took the top off and ran down the hall. When I realized what she had done, I ran after her and grabbed the yogurt. What took me by surprise is that she couldn't find a spoon, so she had grabbed the medicine dispenser. (The kind you put liquid medicine in to give to a baby or small child) Dakota didn't want to ask me for a spoon because she knew she wasn't even supposed to have the yogurt in the first place. In turn, her choice of spoon was not even a spoon and was not working very well although she was trying her hardest to make it work.

Wow! How many times have I done that? God keeps telling me he has a plan and even sometimes what that plan is, but takes too long..... So what do I do? I find some way to make that plan work myself! Just like Dakota, it never works out the way I think it is. In my pride I keep trying to make it work but realize that I am not prepared or the timing was not right. I continually am learning to wait on God for his perfect timing.

Psalm 5:3

" In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation. "
