Is greater than what happens to you.” (Joel L’Bell 2014).
What is happening in me is monumental.
Today when I picked up Tatum from the childcare at Bible Study, Julia said, “I can tell you spend a lot of time with Tatum; she is so smart and kind.” She could not have told me something more significant. It made all the days of consternation worth it. All the days I am not working make sense.
What is happening in me is tremendous. My heart is softening and I am truly becoming more conformed to Jesus. I am learning to work WITH Tatum through these “two’s” and not AGAINST her.
What is happening in her is monumental. She is becoming a beautiful person, filled with a loving heart and a compassionate spirit. She is in awe of her surroundings and the people who encompass it.
There are moments where there are lapses and her eye is off that “bubble of kindness…” Tatum can be difficult, but you know what? This is “training up a child in how she should be.” It’s part of the journey.
What is happening in HER is tremendous. She is becoming a precious child of God. Last night she even prayed with me out loud, praying for Jesus to come into her heart. Probably not realizing it, but it’s the repetition and the modeling of love that will transform her heart.
