This mess-I'm okay with it.
There are two other piles similar to this one on the living room floor right now.
And one large catastrophe on the kitchen table.
I'm okay with those too.
If you know me well, you might think
I'm lying.
This is something that I have been praying about -
yes, PRAYING about.
I don't want to waste my life being concerned about things like toys strewn around and scraps of paper littering the floor.
I want to encourage creativity and imagination.
Mostly I want to be concerned with hearts and relationships and pleasing the Creator.
And because my Lord graciously met me when I called out "Help me to be okay with this!" as the hurricane hit, I was able to see my children lovingly share precious cardboard boxes resulting in two new zoo habitats. I received a precious and glittery love note because they were able to color, cut, AND glue. Gwyn was able to finish her entire summer collection because she was able to spread her designs out and work on the ottoman.
And I'm pretty sure it will all be cleaned up before Dad gets home from work...
