Yes, Lord

Today, Zane, and Jaxon were in the back seat having an argument discussion about the toys they were holding on the way home from BSF. Jaxon wanted Zane's toy. Zane told him, "You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit!" I was then helping them to sort everything out - attitudes, bossiness, crying - when it hit me.

God spoke. He used those words my little four year old had said to his brother to speak to my heart. All of the noise around me faded, and I had such a wonderful moment with God.

I have struggled with contentment specifically in a few different areas of my life. Sometimes things are going great, and it's not even an issue. Some days the devil really uses little lies to really creep into my mind, and grow. Sometimes it grows, and grows until I become angry and bitter. Sometimes I question God, and myself.

This year I have really started growing in my relationship with God. He has shown me so many things through His word, and prayer. I have made a lot of changes in my life, and have been challenged greatly to live for Him. So, when the issues come into my mind, it is a battle. Satan sneaks in a lie. I come back with Truth. Over, and over.

I have really been praying that through God, I would defeat these mind games. He quickly began to answer! Something was on my mind a couple weeks ago. I prayed about it, and went about my day. Later when talking to Eric, I tried so hard to remember that struggling thought, so we could talk, and work through it, and I couldn't remember it at all! I can always remember things that have hurt me, or bad thoughts unfortunately. But God took it away!! He has also been using different people to be an encouragement to me through their words, and comments. All of this to start changing my heart, mind, and attitude.

So back to today, back to my four year old, back to his precious words. God used those words to say, "Tiffany, let these things go. I am in control. My ways are so much better than your ways." And my reply? "Yes. Lord."
