One of the instances is that throughout constant pain over these past 2 days, i have had much peace in my heart. it may be physically a trying day but spiritually i am not phased. this is where God has me, and i want to be where God has me, because that is where God is too! i am very grateful for this! Another instance is a small fight i had with Lizzy. She decided she wanted to run away from me and so i called out "Venga aqui, ahora." "Come here, now." I sat on the cement about 10 feet from her for about 3 minutes while she decided whether she was going to obey or not. I said that phrase over and over and over again. She would look at me, look away, and then look at me again. Then all of a sudden she turned and ran toward me and jumped into my arms. I exclaimed "muy bueno!" and she smiled and kept on playing. It was amazing. It made me think of what we are like toward God. We turn away from him and are stubborn but he patiently (thank God i could be patient with her!) tells us to come back. Over and over and over again. And when we run back toward God he smiles at us and blesses us and says "well done!" Our adult temper tantrums our worth it to God when we run back toward Him. But the amazing thing is that even if we didnt run back toward him, he would still love us.
Oh how He loves.
