A great parenting tip...

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
~Micah 6:8

I love when the Word of God gives me insight on how to live life. We can read it, we can observe it, we can memorize it...But WE MUST apply it! I get such a warped, OCD-ish idea that I can "control things" and "can fix things" by directing people, places, and things around me. What a self-centered lie! I have been hovering over Mendy and Tanner with worry. (oh, yeah, we named our son- Tanner Heath Spivey!!) Worry is not of God, not at all! It is me attempting my management skills, once again, under the delusion that I have arrived; I have the power. There is only One who has the power, and I am not talking about He-Man! "He is the King of Glory, and He is everything to me" (I love Third Day) I can't, He can, I think I am going to let Him!!
