Today’s Muse…Proverbs 16:9.

Today’s Muse…Proverbs 16:9.

I’m trying to live Proverbs 16:9.

In my search for Peace, as a believer in Christ, I look to the Old Testament.

As I’m writing this, it’s Friday night. I should be on my way to Putnam County to see my son and the Morgan County Bulldogs play.

That was the plan. That was the plan for tonight, that was the plan for the entire season. Too see every one of my son’s games.

Then my youngest pitched a fit about 6:00 p.m. One where I had to apologize to a child’s friend, pull the car over in the Regions Bank parking lot (across from Ingles gas) and do nothing, because that child was quicker than a rabbit.

But we got home and I knew how important these games are to my husband. Getting there on time, not having to wrestle with said offending 6 year old.

And it came to me. Very quiet but certain.

Offer to remain home with offending child and make child suffer some consequences of earlier outrageous behavior by making him stay in his room.

I really wanted to go to game. You see, I have this pledge.

But I thought if I offer to my husband to stay home with offending child (though denying hubs all the wonderfulness of me all night long) and he seemed to agree, I would stay home.

He agreed…he sounded so relieved.

And I had peace that I made right decision (in spite of my pledge to attend all my other’s sons football games and make up for all the times I had failed him in the past 17 years and all.)

We make all kinds of good plans ~ but stuff happens.

I’m turning all the stuff happenings over to God.
