Coffee And....

Hi There
Sunshine decided to go somewhere else today.....Guess we needed our turn with some grey skies.
Yesterday I watched Kyra. 17 month old baby girl.
I thank God he had  her here for a good reason, It was a good lesson that i needed for that day.
Here's what I gathered from watching her.

I took her outside so she can play, walk or run around. She gathered rocks, got her hands dirty!
There's this huge yard outside.
Anyway, She seemed to enjoy being outside, Except when she would fell, then she would get soo frustrated with herself .
Kyra would look for me, Cause she wanted me to come pick her up off the ground.

Yup....She was fine, when she was in control. Isn't life great when we think we have it all together.

But, When she was out of control...she couldn't handle it.  So Yeah... Life isn't soo great we don't have it together.

Later, i brought her inside, She then fell asleep in my arms.
Decided maybe I'll go and put her to bed.
She woke up as i was putting her down...cried, and cried.
Well she wouldn't stop, So i thought i would let her cry it out.
Next thing i know she is on the floor throwing a tantrum.
Kept on crying and soon she stopped. 
I peeked her way..Not realizing she was waiting for me too look her way.
When she saw me she cried more.
Went and  pick her up off the from the floor, got a blanket and cuddled her.

What i was feeling through holding her was...How i love this little girl. 
 
Another  feeling was....What Joy she is.

Gave me a picture of God love...and the joy we bring him. 

I was really thankful i could watch her that day.

When i took her home. She had this big grin..Like we had a great day together. 

I believe it make Jesus really happy..when we are close to him.

But when i have done or have said something wrong. then i don't feel  close to him.
What a tough place to be.

Makes me think of the song: God of the Mountain

Life is so easy when your up on the mountain,  you got peace of mind like you've never known.
But then things  change and  your down in the Valley. Don't lose faith for your never ALONE
For the god on the mountain..Is still god in the Valley.

When things go wrong, He'll make them right.
And the god good times is still god of the bad times.
God of the day, is still god of the night.

Yes, we all go through hard times...But hang on dear friends of god.

I really needed to share this. Now we've all heard all this before....But what a great reminder.

Hi MJ-
Here I am, leaving a comment. =)

I like the words of your song. It has felt like a spiritual valley for me lately, probably due to all the adjustments and changes and trying to make big decisions like where we'll go to church...

Thanks for the reminder about trusting God and letting him be in control.
