He's Got My Back!

He evens pays greater attention to you, down to the last detail, even numbering the hairs on your head. Matthew 10:30 The Message


a science sheet that needs clarification, a piano player longing to be heard, a game and a little player waiting, blocks and a their builders calling....all needs of a moment in my house. It can get crazy with five children; there are times when everyone seems to be in need of my assistance, my attention. That feeling that I am like a rubber band being manipulated into different shapes comes often. And I worry...because I do that so well...that I can't be everything to each of them, that one of them will go to bed without...without getting something they needed from me. I worry that I may have missed those important details that make all the difference in who they will become. It's actually quite amusing when I see it in writing. As I view my words, I realize that what I'm worrying about is that I can't be everything to all of my children all the time--as if I even had that ability. But I am comforted by the fact that the God I prayed to this morning, the Lord who heard my fears and joys concerning those five loves of mine, CAN be everything to them all of the time. He knows every one of them down to the number of hairs on their beautiful heads. So when things get crazy and I am stretched to my limits...He's got by back. He doesn't expect me to be everything to them..that is His job. I just need to be sure they know the One who can number the hairs on their heads!
