Day 21: All Things Work for Good

"We are assured and know that [God bein a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose." Romas 8: 28

Prayer:
"All-wise and loving God, make me more like Jesus. I don't like to suffer, and I hate to fail, but through Jesus Christ, I ask You to teach me and enable me to understand that, because of You, everything truly works together for my good. Amen." (Meyers, pg. 71)

********** My Thoughts**********

I know that I need to do this blog and devotion daily, but I think God wanted me to read it after the church service today.

The service was all about storms and who/ what God is calling to quiet.

God can quiet the storm.

But maybe he is working on quieting his child (us).

In doing that, I believe we can be used to help others from what we have learned in our storms.

My baby girl is our storm.

She has always been my cloudy sunset with color and vibrance that matches nothing else.

God is working in her.  I can see it in the way she cares for people and animals who need compassion.

Maybe, we are struggling now so we won't have to when she becomes a teenager? How cool would that be? :-)

I do know, however, that we are where we are meant to be and doing what we can with God's guidance and strength and overwhelming patience.  Maybe God will allow us to help other parents with kids like her?  Or maybe it is more to open our eyes to know that every child is different and should be respected as such.

I don't know.

But I do know that God is calming me down more and more and I am so thankful for that.
