she's not perfect after all

'train up a child in the way she should go, even when she is old, she will not depart from it' - proverbs 22:6

 michelle has always been an easy child.  she listens to what we say, she's not super likot, follows what we say, she's very understanding and very well behaved.  she's never thrown a tantrum.  that is, until tonight.  

she threw a hissy fit we never saw coming.  it caught me off guard and broke my heart into so many million pieces.  *sigh*

but we've made peace now.  and again everything seems perfect.  but tonight, she reminded me that no matter how much i try to make her perfect, she will never be and she will make many more mistakes.  this may be the first tantrum she's thrown in her 4 short years, but it's definitely not the last.  all i can really do is train her in the way she should go so when moments like tonight happen, she'll know how to find her way back and get on the right path again. 

 oh how much i love her. 

(i am ever so thankful she doesn't throw tantrums left and right.  i'd like to think of it as a learning experience for the both of us.)
