Learning submission

Having a small child really requires you to start to learn the discipline of submission. Or maybe I am only get a glimpse of what that discipline really looks like. It is easy, however, to give in to her will. It is not easy to give into the will of another. I need to really seek first the Kingdom and remember that whoever is in authority over me cannot be freed of that until I seek God's counsel. I cannot just run away...quit a job....do whatever. And accept that those in authority make choices about matters I might think should go differently. It is not for me to worry if a co-worker should be fired because I think it might do him or her good.

Lord, I love my daughter so much, but help me to love my sisters (those who seek after truth and You).
