sooo, yesterday was a fun-filled adventure in the mckanna household…it included a lot of driving…appointments with medical professionals…a couple errands…and then trying to get little miss molly to take a nap…which never happened!!!
kasey left for her bible study last night and i was there with the little lady who was in lalalalala land…we did bath time early and i promised her to watch a movie in the basement on the big tv…she was sooo excited…she really wanted to watch jonah and the big fish with daddy…we even made up our own little song about it during the bath…she was deliriously PUMPED!!!
after we finished up getting the pj’s on i grabbed the jonah movie and away we went…but we got to the top of the stairs and molly stopped dead in her tracks…she waited on me to take her by the hand and we started down the stairs…i didn’t turn the lights on because i wanted to use the track lighting when we got down there, so it was dark…but i knew where we were going and didn’t need the lights to get there…
molly was scared and kept stopping to say, “dark daddy, dark daddy!!!”…to which i would respond, “it’s ok, i’ve got you!!!”…we did this numerous times on the way down the stairs…even though she knew that daddy had promised we were going to get to watch jonah and the big fish…even though she knew daddy was with her and holding her hand…even though daddy knew where he was going…even though she had been sooo deliriously PUMPED…she was hesitant and scared…
this little incident, along with the sermon series we are doing right now, has really challenged…i’m challenged with things in my own life that i’m allowing to make me hesitant, maybe even scared…i know what God has promised me…i know that He is with me…He knows where He is going…but i can’t see exactly where i’m going…so i’m hesitant and scared…
now, molly and daddy made it all the way down the stairs and we got the lighting turned on…i put the movie in and immediately molly was going crazy, “big fish daddy, big fish daddy!!! hah-ray!!!”…we were back to being deliriously PUMPED!!!
i’m really trying to hold on to this and chew on it for awhile…to focus on the excitement of one getting to experience what God has promised…to focus on hearing God’s voice when i hesitate, telling me…
it’s ok, I’ve got you!!!
