you.can't.make.me

so...what did i take from the book

you can't make me [but i can be persuaded]

by cynthia ulrich tobias

God's servant must not be argumentative,

but a gentle listener and a teacher

who keeps cool, working firmly

but patiently with those who refuse to obey.

You never know how or when God might

sober them up with a change of heart

and a turning to the truth.

2 Timothy 2:24-25

A Last Word

Remember,

You Can't Make Me.

So don't:

*back me into a corner and leave me no choice,

* tell me what I will or will not do,

*insist that something can't be done,

*demand I obey without question.

But I Can Be Persuaded!

So do:

*value my ability to see the world from a unique perspective,

*find ways to inspire me to change the world,

*ask me for my input,

*recognize my uniqueness even if it bothers you.

a challenging perspective for me i would say...

but love to tuck things away as i try my best at mothering

these four kiddos...
