Defeating the purpose...

Seeing this picture of my daughter made me laugh deeply. But the truth be told, I have been living like this...finding security in the wrong places. I know that God lights my path, but it's been my choice to follow Him willingly. My prayer is that I start using the lifeline God has so graciously given me, not on my terms...but on His. It's simple actually, wearing my safety gear the wrong way will hurt me and the choices I make as well as the people in my life.
So here's to a reminder to live life His way, not mine!

too cute and ready for snow. If she would switch to rain boots, she'd fit in CT perfectly as we've had 2 months of daily rain...

oh Kimmie, she's wearing water wings on her feet, not boots as it may look like...not a safe way to try to swim having wings around the ankles!

Love the metaphor, Andrea. You know how fond I am of metaphors.

Okay, I laughed out loud when I saw the picture. But the words of wisdom made me think.

Laughing and thinking. Two things that we all should experience more, eh?

Kids are somethings way to creative for me. I like your perspective on security. Very nice!
