That is Desta’s new screaming threat when we produce a bottle and it’s not given to her right away. Screeching yells which imply “Right now people, right now. Can’t you see I’m hungry?”
What Desta doesn’t know is that if I change her diaper and wrap her in a blanket before she gets her bottle, life will be MUCH more comfortable while drinking the bottle. I know what will be better for her and since I’m the mom, I’m in charge.
It got me thinking today as I rocked her that I’m like Desta. In this season of unknown for our family, I want answers and I want them now. I’d like to know where God has our family heading, what new adventure is around the corner.
BUT God, in his infinite wisdom, knows that I first need my blanket and my diaper changed (ha!) before I get my bottle, my information. And oh boy is it hard to not throw a fit!
Wish I could learn this lesson once and for all. Wish I could!
I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
Wish you could learn it RIGHT NOW? ;-D Me too–different lesson, same reaction. We can get so impatient with ourselves and God! “I’m yielded, God. I’m yielded. I’d like to start harvesting those fruits of the spirit now. NOW!!!” LOL!
