Let me introduce you to my little problem: Liliana! She is a bundle of joy and I love her so much. So what could be a problem with her??? Her independence. Daily I seek to teach my students life skills that will help them be independent, but it is so different with Lili. She thinks she can do and will not accept any help. I have tried the you do it first and then I will finish it up for most tasks and SOMETIMES it works. I want Lili to do all that she can on her own, but I also want he to be willing to accept help.In all of this God keeps reminding me how blessed I am. Even when I am frustrated beyond belief God shows up and gives me the strength to continue on. God is good!
God is also revealing me new things in His word. One scripture I read today that I had not heard before: "Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord." Colossians 3:20. If someone had shared this with me when I was younger maybe I would have acted different to my parents. I am seeking God's guidance in raising Liliana and in it He is showing me wonderful things from the Bible. Who to thunk? As a youngster I felt the Bible was full of important bits of wisdom, but that it was complicated, but it is not! He included simple easy verse that even my 3 year old could grasp on to and hold in her heart.
