Intuition

God given intuition is a funny thing.  Not a "haha" funny thing though.  It can prepare you for the worst so you're not surprised when something comes up.  It's a blessing actually.  There have been several times in my life when I "knew" something.  Not something good either.  I knew when someone was lying to me, being dishonest and hiding something from me.


I can't say I was happy to be right because I would have given anything to be wrong.  The pain, hurt, frustration and disappointment was not something I wanted to feel.  However, I was so thankful to God for preparing me for this news.

I only wish that person would realize what their dishonesty and lying is doing to our relationship.  It makes you question everything they say.  It makes you doubt their words.  It can even make you resent them.  I'm trying very hard to not let any anger creep in.  I will be praying extra hard for God's peace, patience, love and forgiveness.  I will be praying to God every day to give me the strength to bite my tongue.  For Him to guard my speech.

I'm just thanking Him for the "heads up" so I was prepared when I found out the truth.  

Thank you God for your intuition.  You knew I couldn't handle "one more thing" or one more surprise.

Toothless Corn on the Cob Eater

Afton comes up to me and say, "Hey Mom.  I think I can eat corn on the cob now.  I don't have any more wiggly teeth!"

I looked at her and giggled a little bit and then I said, "True, you don't have any more wiggly teeth, but you don't have any teeth in the front." *giggle* "How are you going to bite the corn without teeth?"
