Buckled In
By: Victoria Riollano Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. - Psalm 119:133 Every single day in my family, there's a battle that takes place. Though I always win, the frustration still exists. I call this epic struggle, the "battle of the car seat." Although I place my two-year-old in the car seat every single day, she always has a better plan. Whether she wants to buckle herself in or not get in the seat at all, she believes that she knows best. Safety isn't an issue for her because her mind is made up. Yet, no matter how strong her will is, her fast her legs kick, or how loud the cry, I ensure that she is buckled in tightly and ready for the journey. Recently, during the daily car-seat battle, I saw myself in her actions. I began to recognize how many times I have been the stubborn child in the face of a God who simply trying to keep me safe. There were times I kicked and screamed as He was trying to remove me from a toxic friendship. Clearly, there were moments when I refused to move forward with a plan He gave. Even more so, there have been times where He was trying to keep me safe and on-target, but I chose to follow my own desires. I made a choice to not be buckled in. |
