I remember feeling horribly guilty that I could only see one in my then 2 year old. His personality has always been difficult for me even though I think he is the most like me. I started to pray then that God would open my eyes and use others as well to help me see his strengths. I also began to see how God was using the things I struggled with to change some sin issues in me. I found that I care too much about what other people think and my emotionally intense fit throwing child exposed that. I am learning patience and grace in a new way because of the very things that are hard for me. I still see so many areas that I want to do better in as his mommy. I definitely need to be more careful about sharing my struggles with him in front of him. I think he feels most loved when I meet him where he's at. My little guy likes to wrestle and play board games. Maybe for you it will look like tumbling around on the floor. Let her be who she is and allow God to use her to change you for the better. Thanks for sharing your heart on here! :) Terynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153895957665920383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458347888012799792.post-24321498957541495002013-04-07T20:13:52.453-07:002013-04-07T20:13:52.453-07:00Trev wasn't a floor guy...more of a climber......Trev wasn't a floor guy...more of a climber...Phoebenoreply@blogger.com
