Stuck Forever?

There are two things you need to know about Julianne. First is that she is in the official stage of "I can do it myself." She is the middle child so this particular stage has seemed to be somewhat exaggerated. The second thing is that she is very dramatic! She is definitely a girl. But, today her independence and drama was used by God to remind me that He is a God that sees the big picture, and knows how to bring me comfort even when I overreact to a stressing time. So, Julianne found a highlighter and colored a beautiful picture on her PANTS. Yes, her brand New pants. I proceeded to take the pants and try to get even a little of the neon green out when she snuck off and to my surprise went and put on some new clothes. She came downstairs parading that she had got these bloomers on all by herself and that she was sorry for having colored on her other pants. WE both had a great moment of happiness. I was moving on to cleaning up another mess when I heard A horrible scream coming from the living room followed by the words.. "I'm stuck and I will never get out!" Out of shear fear I ran in the living room to find her in a panic trying to take off the very bloomers she had just so proudly put on. Seems as though the bloomers were ones Grannie(Jamey's mom) had made last year and they were a little too small. Giggling I helped her remove the bloomers and comforted my poor child. But, I realized so many times I project that I will be "stuck forever" over something that God is so able to help me with. Sometimes when I am so proud of something I have done "all by myself" goes wrong God is there to gently remind me that all I needed to do was ask for help.
