I
must say I am so glad that God equips us and our children with what we
need for the lives we've been given. I have said for a long time that my
little Garrett is a handful because he is so determined and so
decisive. Yes, this causes a lot of challenges in parenting/teaching
him, but properly channeled it will continue to be a tremendous benefit
to him. His determination helped him endure 5 surgeries before his 6th
birthday not to mention a number of other challenges. So, if you are
struggling with a challenge or parenting a child who challenges you,
figure out what God has equipped you/your child with just because He
knew you would go through this one day.
Psalm 139:13-16
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
