Took the kids to Party on Air to celebrate their hard work in the 2nd 9 weeks of school. It was so much fun to watch them explode with joy and just bounce all over the place. And wouldn’t you know that God would show up and teach me something right in the midst of it.
While Lilly and Leah were struggling to climb up the Spider Climb (a bunch of stretchy ropes that lead to the opening of a very tall slide) there were a few other kids in there struggling with them. The bands were stretching and moving and they were all shaky and unsure where to place their feet, they just couldn’t find their balance. Then, finally, one of the girls just reached her foot over and placed it on the beam holding the structure together. She took a breath and had absolute relief on her face. She found her security ON SOLID GROUND!!!
It blew me away! I even burst out with laughter and the proclamation of it to all those around. Those awful stretchy bands they were struggling to climb are my worries, the things I think I need to achieve to keep moving upward, what I keep stepping on to find my balance. But all I have to do is reach my foot over and stand ON SOLID GROUND, ON HIS HOLY WORD, THE PROMISE HE HAS MADE TO ME!!! That is where I will find my stability.
