Yesterday we made pizzas for lunch!! Woohoo! Well with my kids it was tandoori indian flatbread with organic tomatoe sauce and veggie shredded mozzerella tasting cheese-but all the same it was home made pizzas!

My oldest was very excited and wanted to open the veggie cheese bag by herself. I was a bit in my "let me do it mode" but let her wrestle with it while I spread some tomato sauce on the bread. I silently watched her struggle and turn the bag several which ways in order to find the easiest way to open it. I really wanted to just say "here, let me do it" but I held back. Finally, she said "Here mommy, I'm done. Can you do it for me?" I happily took the bag because I knew eventually she would need my help.

I thought to myself, candidly actually, that God must watch us sometimes struggle with things and just wait for us to say "Here Father, I'm done. Can you do it for me?" With mothering, getting ready to start homeschooling, a home business and rehearsing for a play-I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. And I know it's becuase I'm worrying my brains out about it-even though I'd really like to think I've "learned not to worry 'bout a thang". So I laughed at this daily lesson becuase it is so fitting. I've been Mrs. snippity snappity recently-pms, aching jaw? Who knows. Who cares? It's time for me to hand it over. I've turned it every which way and can't figure it out for the life of me. "Here Father, I'm done. Can you do it for me?"

I really enjoyed this one! You are so right, it is so fitting out situations and how we handle them. Thank God He is there to hand it over to.
