Ok, so it has been a while since I posted, and for that I am truly sorry, but I have to do another post about my little girl! Why? Because it makes me soooo happy to talk about her! :-)
It's been four months today, that my little girl has been on this earth (at least outside the womb)! I really wanted to do an April fool's day blog about not being a fool, but as I was praying about it, God just kept putting a picture of my BEAUTIFUL little girl in my head. So I am going to do a follow up from my blog two times ago and tell you one other very valuable lesson God has taught me about our relationship with Him, through my relationship with my daughter.
Here it is... (drum roll please) God has us go through things that might hurt (a lot!) but is for our benefit. God is reminding me of this just about every day, because this Monday my wife and I are taking my baby in for round 2 of shots! Round 1 of shots was one of the worst days of my life! I'm totally serious about that. But while my baby was crying her beautiful little head off, I knew that I had the doctor (nurse actually) intentionally cause pain in my daughter so she could avoid getting a disease that is much worse than that shot (I know shot's are controversial, but I prayed and prayed and felt this is what God wanted us to do, but I don't have strong feelings either way, so please don't get mad at me :-) While she was screaming, I was thinking that often times this is a perfect picture of us and God. He allows us to experience very painful things, because when everything is said and done, it was totally for our benefit! Are you going through something difficult? Maybe incredibly painful, that makes you wanna cry? If you are a child of God, remember Romans 8:28 (if you don't know...look it up). Just know that God allows us to go through "shot's" for our benefit. May we have peace in the midst of painful times, because we rest in His Grace and Love! Love you guys!!!
