while babysitting i play hide and seek with the kids a lot. Last saturday i babysat all day from 730am till about 830pm. It was a yucky day out so we couldnt go outside to play, i was sick of just sitting there watching tv with them, so after lunch i packed anna and james up and we headed to Target. It was a risk to just take them to Target, but i needed to get out of that house. After we went to Target and released some pent up energy by walking around and looking at toys(haha) we headed back home. Then i dared to suggest that we play hide and seek. anna and james were a team, and i myself was a team of course. It was about 4pm so i was already more than halfway though my long day, and starting to get a little worn out. i started looking for harder hiding spots that would take the little munchkins longer to find me.
i do have a point for writing this. actually playing hide and seek, and trying to find really good place to hide reminds me of how i am with God sometimes. even though we could never hide form God, i think that sometimes i think i can. like if i do something, and then think "agh, i shouldnt have done that" i just push it away like it never happened. or when im not in the word, or even talking to him as much as i really should be...am i just searching for a good hiding place, where i can be to myself? God wants all of me, as he does for anyone, i just need to let him have me. i guess i could say i need to be found...

I think that everyone tries to hide from God, because none one of us here on earth is perfect. Everyone has their faults, and of course none of us want God to see that. We think that by hiding from Him or acting like we did nothing wrong He will never know. But God always knows everything. It's sometimes a scary thing but you just have to live it out to your best and be honest with yourself. Don't think you are the only one that tries to hide!! It's human nature. Even when a little kid breaks something and tries to hide it from mom and dad. It's in our framework to hide, but through growing up we are able to admit to it. Just like our life cycle on Earth. If we break something when we are older, we can admit it and apologize. It's the same with God. Nice analogy with the hide and seek.
