Mother Hen

I guess the "mother hen" nature came out in me the past couple of weeks.  I have a tendency when someone hurts my kid, I just want to slap them up side the face.  Well, I have had to do a spiritual mind check on dealing with "why does that make me angry" and dealing with it in a healthy way.  I found a book by Stormie Omartian about Stepping in the Light and it reminded me again that circumstances come our way not to bring us down but to help us grow and I was reminded that God is in control and He will lead me and help me love and not get upset.  So, I started praying in my heart and it is amazing how quickly my anger was replaced with love.  I am so thankful that God checked up on my attitude. 
So good to hear about Katelyn's trip to Africa and the impact it left on her.  The take away she took from her trip was "to be satisfied with what you have" cause in Africa they basically have nothing and they are happy and in America we want want want and think things is what makes us happy.  She loved going to the orphanages and holding the babies and she commented over and over about how kind and nice and funny the workers from Africa were.  Thank you God for giving her this opportunity!
