God is good...all the time

The look says it all...
Oh how I love this boy! The look on his face simply sums it up...it is the I am 3 and a half and that is that look. What amazes me is his ability to turn this attitude on and off in a matter of seconds.  The catch being it has to be his idea to turn it off-
He is like his mama in more ways than one!  
I have been thinking about my attitude...I have been told by many near and dear to me that whatever I am thinking is written all over my face.  I just can't hide it...anger, hurt, frustration, fear, excitement, adoration it is all right there for every one to see the moment the emotions bubble up in me.  ugh. I wish it weren't so. I wish more than anything that I didn't waste a single precious moment being angry or frustrated.  I wish that I could once and for all overcome the struggles with fear that I have been having. To sum it up I am longing to live more fully with Christ.  To be overwhelmingly filled with his love and hope so that the face that people see is one that radiates His goodness and beauty rather than my own failure and shortcomings.
My hearts desire is that my precious children would grow to know that there mama's face always reflects recognition of God's goodness.

I love your comment..."To be overwhelmingly filled with his love and hope so that the face that people see is one that radiates His goodness and beauty rather than my own failure and shortcomings." I struggle with this too...I'm finding the faster I can give it all up to God, the faster he can fill me with His peace. Thanks for sharing your heart...it helps us all.
