Tonight R grabbed a file of his Daddy's that was on the couch. I saw him and not wanting to get anything crushed or creased, I said, "Oh no, no R, no!" He dropped it quick and went and hid behind the curtain in the kitchen.
And it got me thinking... How did he know to go hide? Is it instinct to hide when we know we have done something wrong? Is that why Adam and Eve hid in the garden? And then I started wondering how often I hide. Of course not physically or literally, but figuratively. In TV or busyness. I think it is a whole lot more than I would like to admit. I am ashamed to admit that. Not that I have done something wrong, but that I do not do something that I know I should. Instead, I let other things distract me.
This has been heavy on my mind lately and I have been trying to change this about myself, but with R's hiding I was reminded once again. I need to move the curtain in my life once again.

That is intense and so true. I've been challenged a lot through Mackenzie (our 2 1/2 yr old). It's amazing and heart-wrenching to see our sinful nature so raw and uncensored in a child...and no matter how hard we try to hide or disguise, it's there. What a loving and compassionate God we have...Thanks for sharing, Rayna.
