Sneak Peak

This year both Parker and Tref were so excited for Parker’s birthday, which was on Saturday. They were giddy and super excited for a couple of days and the day before they couldn’t stop talking about it all day and didn’t fall asleep until 10:00pm because they were so excited.  Parker kept saying… I am going to be the Birthday Boy… You guys have to say… Happy Birthday the Birthday Boy…

Parker woke up at 5:20am the day of his birthday and just couldn’t wait to get the day started. We were not as enthused at that time but our day did start shortly after.

Parker opened his presents in the morning and Tref was standing over his shoulder, super excited, waiting to see what he was going to get. After he had opened all the presents, Tref said… Mom… I think you forgot one… And he was right… Jason had bought them a Wii game and I forgot to wrap it…
But then I was like “Hey, how did you know I forgot one?” He said that’s not the one you forgot… So I asked him… What Did I forget?  He picked up a Mars Mission Lego set and pointed to a picture on the back of the box for a different set and said you forgot to wrap this one… I said no I didn’t… Tref said yes you did, I saw it in a bag downstairs…

The little stinkers peeked… Tref said as soon as he found it he told Parker to come and look at this… but Parker wouldn’t look… He wanted to be surprised… But as Tref looked through the bag he didn’t realize some of the gifts were for him.

Anyways… that explained why they were so excited… they really wanted those Lego sets.  It kind of reminds me of how I feel when God speaks to me through someone or personally. I feel so excited about what is coming because I immediately try and figure out exactly how it’s going to happen, or when I am going to get it. But God sometimes shows us things not for the reasons we think.

Tref was a little disappointed that Parker didn’t get all the Lego sets but what he didn’t realize is that the ones he was waiting for are for him. He just has to wait. We don’t realize the plans and purposes God has for us sometimes, when God gives us a peak we have to stop trying to figure it all out and just wait… Just trust and wait.

Good things come to those who wait and those who wait with faith that God is who He says He is, live a fulfilled life even while they are waiting.

Has God given you any "sneak peaks" lately about His plans for your life?  Do you find it hard to wait?
