Sometimes I don't get it.



The other day I brought my daughter Isa to Wal-mart to get some stuff and things. Walking through the busy parking lot she struggled to get out of the grip I had on her hand. As she attempted to pull away my hand gripped harder because of the cars coming around the corner. As a waist high two year old she couldn't see the danger ahead and didn't seem to understand why I wouldn't want her to run away from me into what looked to her like a safe parking lot. In a flash I thought back on my own discontentment, frustration and doubt. I quickly thanked God for holding me back from what I thought was good for me at the time. I was reminded of His protection over me and that I just need to trust that He knows what is ahead.
