Lessons learned...

I remember hearing something one time, that the definition of stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I think it is something like that. Anyway, it is neat how sometimes God can take anything to teach you a lesson. I pulled my Children's Church book out to make copies so that I could start reading over my lesson and preparing. The lesson was on Ruth and Boaz one that many of us who have been in church our whole lives know pretty well. So as I was reading over the lesson I could not help but laugh because the lesson that is being taught along with the story is "God is in control". Now when I say I laugh it is because this is a lesson that I am learning daily. 

I have posted before that I come from a family of  worriers and that I am trying my best to hand it all over to God. But its amazing at how easy I can get deterred and try to work things out on my own. The what is even more amazing is how God will use a lesson that I am going to be teaching kids. I think sometimes as adults we try to make things happen and as a result we get less then what God had in plan for us. 

I love it when myself or other adults learn from a children's lesson, sometimes is takes learning and becoming like a child to understand what God has in store for us. How this all relates back to the definition of stupid you may ask? Well you would think that one would learn after 26 years to trust completely in what God has in plan and I am trying because what I can do of my own will is nothing compared to what I do and be apart of if I trust God in the plans that he has for my life.
