The three of us had no more sat down to eat dinner last night, when Lindsay says that she wants to get down. Lance instructs her that she needs to stay in her chair and eat. Well, this ticks her off just a little and she tries to pick up her plate and sling it across the table. He catches it before she really has time to complete the task and this really ticks her off! So she grabs her cup and throws it on the floor! So now, it's like, ok, you are still going to sit in your chair and I guess you won't be eating or drinking while you are sitting there!! Then she gets all crazy and pleads with me to let her down, she pulls out all the stops.
After she sat there for what seemed like forever, she asked to get down using her manners. Lance told her that she needed to apologize for the way she acted and he would let her down. She looked at him and said, "I don't want to say your sorry. I don't want to say it."
If that's not rebellion I don't know what is!!!!
Needless to say, after she sat there for even longer, she finally relented and apologized to her daddy for being so ugly and went on her merry way.
Doesn't this paint a perfect picture of how we have that same rebellion in our lives? No God, I'm not apologizing, I'm not going to let you have this little piece of my life. Wow, who would of thought that the Lord would use my two year old's rebellion to convict me of the rebellion in my own life?! Very humbling, isn't it?
