But, I want it. That makes it good, right?
Being a parent has given me a huge perspective on how God may view us. For so long I struggled with why God wasn't giving me what I asked for at that moment. What I wanted was a good thing. But it wasn't in God's timing and in His will so I settled for things that really hurt me instead. My daughter is 7 months old so she is exploring her new world. She is crawling everywhere and she is quick as a lightning bolt. She is learning what is okay to explore and what is not okay. She doesn't understand why I won't let her chew on the plastic bag that contains garbage (or any plastic bag for that matter.. Choking hazard). She has SO many toys that she is blessed with but she gravitates toward the garbage can of all things. I am constantly redirecting her and showing her where she can explore. Don't get me wrong now, I want my daughter to explore even beyond her toys, but in a safe way. And then I think, all those times I wanted something I thought was good and that...
