Last saturday i sat in the extra small dressing room of the smallest girls dress shop on the north side of Houston with my 2 girls who incidently were wearing black martial arts tshirts. Isabella quickly stripped off her tshirt and threw on the easiest and most accessible of the white flower girl dresses ran out and was ready. Why? She was ready to get to the flower girl/wedding shoes for girls. I promise they look just like Cinderella's glass slipper and they make as much noise as glass slippers too. On the other hand while Isabella was fast and easy, victoria not in her usually pouty look but in serious distress was having a dilema. Are the shoes worth the unwanted attention and white dress (not like cinderella's-she wore blue)?
How did it end? She didn't throw a fit, but rather sat there and contemplated the whole situation. But ya know what? She really wanted those shoes, more than anything I have ever seen her go after. She let me but the dress on her, take her out of the dressing room and modeled the dress. She clenched my arms so hard. But the satisfaction of putting on those white dressy shoes with the sparkly diamonds was so worth it to her. And the secret... even though the wedding isn't until November we let them wear the shoes the next day for church.
I wish I was that easy. Some sparkly glass slippers.
I was briefly chatting with my friend in California through email when I had this thought. We say we trust God and we believe he is in control, then when something doesn't go our way or we don't like where we are, we ask God to step in and help us. All things work together to him that love the Lord.
