The Lord has a sense of humor. I have been playing tug of war with him over a subject matter and it deals with me leading in an area at church. Every time I think I am back to being in the background just hanging out and coasting by, He keeps throwing me back in the limelight. I keep telling Him I am tired of leading, of thinking, of being the one "in charge". I beg Him to just let me be the second banana. But His word is final and it is funny because it is a classic example of how He will answer your prayers when it is right for you and within HIS will. On this particular subject, every time the role of leader arises and I try to fade in to the wall, HE shines the 100 watt bulb in my face for the world to see. Really Lord? Thanks....thanks so much! But my husband really believes in his heart that for years I managed adults and helped them over the years that now the Lord is calling me to help the little tots. I was told the original teacher was returning to my class room and I was asked to lead another class for the summer. I declined requesting that I stay with my class as a helper. So imagine my surprise when I walked in to find the room dark and no teacher. Low and behold, they moved several people around and decided to keep me with the class teaching because I was so attached to them and asked the original teacher if she would consider a different class. None of this was communicated to me so I just quietly said to God, "You will not let me off the hook with this. No matter how many times I tell you I rather help then lead, you put me in the position of leading." So God's yeses are yeses no matter what. So I simply say, 'Lord, use me in anyway you see fit and I thank you for this opportunity to stay with these children. What a blessing they are to me." And how can you resist a little tot telling you how silly you are and in fact she thinks I am sillier than her. I mean come on...that is heaven on earth. So tots...Miss Cindy is here to stay! God is ever faithful and His word is true.
