When a Fustration becomes a Blessing

Recently I have been watching some children after school. It's been a really good experience but honestly, no offence to their parents or anything but these kids for awhile were making me rethink my desire to be a teacher or even be a mommy. I almost gave up completely on watching this children or even hope on helping them.

I decided that if I'm going to be the best teacher, I shouldn't give on these kids. I want to help them be the best they can be so I can also become the best I can be. After I picked them up from the bus stop it was again what it normally is arguing and yelling. I was tired of them yelling at each other and me getting frustrated and angry. So when we got to the church I had them remain in the car and I talked to them. I asked them if they like being yelled at by their sibling and if they think it would be fair to say that neither of them should yell at each other if neither of them likes it. Then I told they are responsible for their own actions and that I didn't want to hear they say that what they did was okay because their sibling did it first. After our little chat things were incredibly better. They were much nicer to each other. We still hit some bumps in the road but compared to the day before it was heaven on earth.

I was really encouraged after that. I felt that those kids were a huge frustration to me one day and then the next they were a big blessing in my life.

I wonder if God feels that way sometime. I cannot imagine God getting frustrated with me because all he is love but I know he expects the best of me at the same time. I get really frustrated with myself all the time with my faults but at the same time I know that God loves me and finds me a blessing, much like I found those kids a blessing in mine.

I don't know, but it just goes back that I am the adopted one. I am adopted into Gods love and I am so thankful for that.
