These last few days have been pretty crazy and emotionally draining around the Johnson household. And, in ways that only children can truly master, our kids seem to know just when their mom and dad need a little "quiet" time to actually try to have "adult" conversation. I am pretty sure that is when God speaks to their little hearts and says, "Now is when I need you to test your parents' patience... I am trying to build into them." So, in what I am sure is complete obedience they will begin screaming, fighting, falling into things and hurting themselves, or some mixture of it all.
During these times it is very hard for me to see anything but the here and now. Some days it is as if God opens up the future, or allows me to soar above the daily grind and see my life from His perspective. Other days it seems I can hardly make sense of my minute-by-minute tasks. I take comfort knowing that God never sleeps, God never changes, God never loses sight of the big picture, and God never loses His direction. I can rest at night knowing that He will never rest until He has done in me all that He has planned.
