This is just going to be a short little story of something that one of the little boys did and said at my job. I started to take the time to talk to him Friday night about what was going on in his life. Just sitting him on my lap and listening to him tell his story his way and I know I wrote about it 2 enteries before this one. Going back after the weekend, I saw a whole new him yesterday.
He acted amazing! No misbehaving. He did talk more like a baby which I was sad about but when I reminded him to talk like a big boy he did. When another peer would try to make him mad, he would just go somewhere else away from that peer instead of getting mad at him. No dumping toys out. He was like a whole new child just because someone would sit and listen. He also made me a card that I found in my mailbox before work yesterday with the help of another teacher.
He would not go to bed again last night for the other teacher so I took him in and tried to talk to him again. That didn't quite work so I read to him and gave him a little toy to hold. I read him a disguised story about Daniel and the Lion's Den and he kept asking questions like little boys do. He seemed to have no idea what the story was really about but it was cute because he did ask a question I'll never forget. He was looking at the pages on his own while laying down to relax and he turned to one page and asked, "Where's God?" He remembered me saying the word "God".
I, of course, gave him a "real" answer that he could understand so I told him he was up in the sky on the page because the author had drawn a little bit of sky. By now you all should know how my mind works so that question went into adult form for me. Through everything that I have been and am going through, "Where is God?" in all of that. Am I trusting Him or just going about my day? AM I making a difference for Him? Earlier that day, God had answer one of my many prayers and I thought about that too. That as long as I had to wait patiently for Him to answer, He came through like He always does. It was just a great reminder and went right along with my day yesterday.
I challenge you all to ask yourself, "Where is God in my life today?" because it will help you be more focus for Him and on Him. You are likely to see things and do things in His way and for Him if you a focused on Him.
"Today is a blank page. Yes, there are some things that need to be written in, and you could surrender your pen to them, letting events, exceptions, tests, and the judgements of others write this chapter. Or, you could take some time with God, that author and completer of your Faith and start writing today as the adventure He shows you it can be."-Rob Coscia "My heart is overflowing with a good theme as I recite my composition for the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."- Psalm 45:1
