Lessons From Lily

Lily.  

Nicknames: Lily Pie, Lil Bits, Bits, Wits, Bitser Witser.

She is funny, strong, confident, sweet, sassy & caring.

I love when God reveals Himself through my kids.  I had one of those "revelations" last week.  

I was finishing up dinner preparations and I had a shadow.  Lily was at my side begging for me to hurry, asking when daddy would be home & reminding me that I had not given her an afternoon snack.

"I'm hungry Mommy."

"I know you are Wits, Mommy is making dinner right now."

"But I'm still hungry."

And that's when I lost my breath.  The small whisper that spoke directly to my soul that said, "I know you're still hungry.  I am still working.  Still planning.  Still writing your story."  

I was Lily, going before God.  I (in my heart & mind) know that He is (metaphorically) making dinner & I simply need to set the table (prepare myself for Him to work) & have faith that dinner will in His time be served.

Lily, knowing that I was indeed making dinner & after assuring her that her daddy was indeed on his way home & that dinner was oh so close to being on the table was able to patiently wait & have faith in me to satisfy her need.

I love when faith building moments happen & I love them even more when they come from this girl!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
