Dancing with Cinderella

The perfect word for God.  Indescribable.  How does He do it?  How does He manage to answer our questions?

At work:

When I start doubting myself as a teacher, when nothing seems to be going my way, the stress is there, due dates are near (or past due), the kids aren’t getting it, others seem to not care, some have other issues at home to worry about, some are trying, but not hard enough… what do I do Lord?  Am I really meant for this?  Can I really do it?  This isn’t for me…

Be still. 

He sends the note, the former student, the current student, the e-mail, the facebook message… that tells me- you can do it.  You are where I need you to be. 

As a mother:

She’s not listening.  What do I do?  Am I enough for her?  What does she need?  Am I doing this mommy thing the “right” way?  Will she need therapy as an adult because of ME? 

Be still.

He is guiding me.  I get the hugs, the kisses, the “I love you mommy” that just melts my heart & confirms- I am doing ok.  Not perfect, but ok.  He fills in the gaps where I lack. 

As a wife:

Am I what he needs?  Do I comfort him enough when he needs the comfort?  Do I make him laugh when he needs a laugh?  Do I apologize when I need to?  Do I? 

Be still. 

He loves me, he tells me all the time.  He goes above and beyond to make me happy… thank you God for blessing me with Michael. 

As a sister, a friend, an aunt, a niece, a cousin… am I enough? 

Be still. 

He makes you enough. 

He is indescribable.  He is amazing.  He is our God. 

He makes no mistakes.  He knows our needs. 

Be still.  Trust Him.
