There's been some tension in our home for quite some time, mostly surrounding Micah. At his parent-teacher meeting one of the teachers asked why Micah is so contrary. I don't know why my son's heart is so hard. I don't know why he'll say "no" to every "yes".
Last week our class did a program called Plumbline. In short, part of the teaching was about personality types and how we relate to people and situations.
Through that I noticed that Micah (and I) had a spirit of judgement. Often times he would tell Isaiah what to do, how to do it, what to say, and all the ways that Isaiah was doing something wrong. I asked Micah if he could trust mommy and daddy to raise Isaiah and allow Isaiah to be Isaiah. For once he gave a muffled, "yes." That was one week ago.
Today, Isaiah was really thirsty at lunch. I got up to get him a cup of water, but Micah was already on his way back with one for him. Miracles do happen!
