Last week my husband got my oldest daughter a dress and she absolutely loves it. At the preschool she attends they have a dress code Monday-Thursday, Friday is free day. So its a Tuesday and she just got the dress the night before and really really wants to wear it and keeps asking to. As im doing my bed, trying to stay on top of things, I'm getting a little annoyed that she won't just take no for an answer. In my mind I ask God for HELP, I really didn't want the morning to start off the wrong way for either of us. This whole time she is still trying to tell me how other kids in class sometimes come in out of dress code clothes and the teacher doesn't say anything and that she would not get in trouble wearing the dress and over and over it goes...(do any of your kids do this or is it just mine??)
In that moment as she was talking God clearly showed me that now is the time for me to teach her who she ultimately answers to. Yes teacher, mom, dad, friends, siblings might not always see or care and just let things slide but there is someone who is greater and sees everything, and not only that but he lives inside of us.
