They're here!!!!! Uncle D and Tashie arrived tonight. Hudson and Hayden extended some Hawaiian aloha and brought leis. Saying we are excited to host some family for a week is an understatement at best.
In my excitement to pick them up, I got us all turned around at the airport. In my frustration I was complaining aloud, maybe a little too loudly. (In my defense, that airport IS a disaster!) Hayden says to me, from the backseat, "Mom, why don't you just pray about it. If you ask God he is gonna help."
Hmmm... Duh. He just about summed up my life struggle (well at least one of my struggles). I would rather rant and complain about my frustrations instead of taking it to the One who wants to help. Is this because getting help from God often requires work on my part, and far too often what I really want is a quick fix? More hmmm... Much to think on.
Goal for the week: be intentional about observing my prayer life. When do I stop and think to pray, outside of quiet time/meal time? When I get anxious or frustrated, what is the first thing I do and how can I make talking to God immediately, more of an automatic response... Sort of like my 6 year old already does.
