Oh where, oh where can the pacifier be?


As a baby starts out there are things he becomes accustomed to having at all times. For some babies that may be a soft woobly (blanket), a pacifier, a thumb or a bottle. Well...Today (as I write) Baby Cade is screaming his head off because I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where his paci is. He wants to take a nap, but he likes his pacifier and is having trouble...wait...and he's down for the count. That didn't take very long...I figured he would scream for about 10 mins but nope...only 3!! Anyway, my point is that we often become so dependant on something we don't even realize our dependancy until we are screaming our heads off for it. What happens to us that we become dependant on something? Are we that dependant on God? Honestly? All the time? I know that I have not been that dependant...I have ALWAYS be independant...which is good and bad. I am learning what it means to be interdependant with my husband and learning how to be dependant on God because He ALWAYS has my best interest in mind! He always wants to be apart of what I am doing...He is always there, but have I been gracious enough to remember to invite Him to take part in what I am doing or am I just doing it on my own accord? I have learned, in the short time I have been here, to depend on the Lord and His strength to get me through everything...even the little things like doing the dishes or taking Kinzie (the dog) out for a walk. Lord may I glorify you in EVERYTHING I do!!! Not just the missionary type things, but even the meesley little things like changing Cade's diaper! I want to be dependant on Him so that my family may see Him in me and devote themselves to follow Christ as He calls us too!!! May I cry my head off because I want and need HIM!!! Have a great day!!
