so I’ve got this nice her name is Kelsey

she is a wild little sassy precocious

thing all this curly hair on her head I

don’t know where she got any of that

from and he was telling me this story

about Kelsey and about how when Cassie

was two years old she would go over to

the refrigerator in their home when she

was hungry and she would point at the

big box that had the food in it and say

eat so John John said I would go over to

Kelsey and I would pick her up I would

run her over to the table and sit her

down in the booster seat so that I could

bring her the food that she was asking

for but Kelsey now far removed from what

she thought was the place she needed to

be to get the food she would throw a

temper tantrum and cry a river of tears

and she wouldn’t wiggle her way out of

that seat and storm her way back across

the kitchen in front of the big box

where the food was and she would point

at it and say eat he would then grab her

and put her back in her booster seat at

the kitchen table and she would throw a

temper tantrum and cry a river of tears

and wiggle her way out of the chair walk

back across the kitchen floor stand in

front of the big box that had the food

and didn’t say eat he would then pick

her up and take her back to the booster

seat she would wiggle her way out walk

herself across and say eat he said

Priscilla we went through this over and

over and over and over again and he

laughed as he told me the story but he

said Priscilla at the time it wasn’t

funny

he said I had to have so much patience

with this girl as I tried to get her to

understand that where I was putting her

was actually the best place for her to

be positioned to receive that what she

was asking me for that even though in

her mind it didn’t seem like the best

place for her to be to receive what she

was requesting I knew because I’m her

daddy and I love her that where I was

putting her was the best environment for

her to be in for her to receive the

requests that she had in her heart and

on her mind and as John John told me

this story I gotta tell you I just

laughed as I thought about my little

curly-headed niece and her little sassy

self

I laughed hysterically and as I was

laughing the Holy Spirit stopped me in

my tracks and said uh-uh don’t laugh too

long or too hard because that would be

you Priscilla

how often is it Priscilla that I try to

put you in the right place I try to tell

you where to go what to do give you that

Holy Spirit’s guidance that Miss Joyce

was talking to us about I try to leave

you and yet you rebel against it or

ignore it or refused to follow the

directions that I have for you Priscilla

more patient than John John has to be

with little Kelsey I have got to be with

you I became right there in the kitchen

listening to the story so not only

convicted and challenged but

appreciative of the patience of God

towards me and I began to think about

how grateful I am that I cannot where

God out
