Someone once said to me, "no one stumbles on anything while sitting down". I thought, duh.
After I gave it some thought I realized their point. If I'm moving and growing I'll have stumbles and falls. It really is a good thing in the end. It means I'm not stagnate and just OK with life as is.
So as I move along in this life I have had many many stumbles. While I see myself falling I feel like I can't do anything about it. I feel so helpless. Like a little one learning to walk. Just so unsteady. The great and awesome thing that I know is God is there to pick me up, dust me off and get me going again. He reminds me through a trip or fall that he is there to steady me. To guide me to the next point he wants me at.

Time with Daddy
Time alone with Daddy is a hot commodity around here. Everyone wants it! Big time! He is a walking fun house apparently. I love it when my man comes home from work and the kids all flock to the door led by the littlest singing "Dad Dad Daddy!!!" at the top of his lungs all while doing a spin and a dance. Our girl is beyond thrilled to have Daddy all to herself on Friday night for their big date night. She has a new dress, shoes and will get her hair done...all for Daddy.
I lay in bed last night with a grin on my face thinking of how much our kids love their Daddy. He is their hero, protector, provider and the love he gives...oh it melts my heart. I wouldn't want my kids to think any different of their Dad. He is their Father.
I then paused in my thoughts with a new thought. Do I get that excited about my heavenly father? Do I feel like dancing when I know I get to spend time with Him? Do I sing to Him? Do I prepare myself for special one on one time?
No. I don't.
I know God wants me to come before Him with an attitude of praise ready to give Him glory. So often I come before Him grumpy with a list of complaints or requests for Him to fix. So wrong. God already knows my needs. Should I ask His help and wisdom? For sure! Just with a heart of praise and glory for my Father.
Oh Lord help me to remember YOU are more exciting than any earthly person. As I watch my children dance and jump because their daddy is spending time with them, let me approach my Heavenly Father with the excitement over who He is and what He is!
