He's still working on me.

As I was holding my sleeping son in my arms, his older  brother was sitting with us.We saw this beautiful baby on television.I said "Ezra what if we had another little baby" he replied "yea just like Isaac". I smiled remembering the road we have traveled in the past year. Isaac has faced some storms and ripples in his little life.And if GOD allows us to have another baby,and that baby is not perfectly healthy, thats ok with me. Because it will be the baby GOD has chosen for us, and that makes it perfect.GOD has taught me many things through my children.Mainly patience and leaning on HIM,  because HE is my strength.When Ezra was born I was filled with fear and anxiety.I can remember praying for GOD to let him live through the night.Ezra was a perfectly healthy baby.But none the less it consumed me. I quickly learned I couldnt live that way.I told GOD that Ezra was HIS first, then mine. Nine months later I became pregnant with Isaac. I felt GOD working in my life.GOD was telling me(not in an audible voice just a knowing)that Isaac wasnt going to be completely perfect.Fear and anxiety did not follow.  But peace.The day Isaac failed his first hearing tests I knew then. They kept telling me it wasnt abnormal to fail the test.I was alone in the hospital room that morning.I sat and cried for my little baby knowing he might face some difficulties in his life. After a few more tests over a period of a few weeks, we found it was a mild hearing loss. We praised GOD it wasnt severe.Then at Isaacs 6 month check up the doctor sent us to a physical therapist. The basic simple things Isaac couldnt yet manage to do.He is "hypotonic" they said. To make a long story short Isaac had to work very hard to do things normal babies can do in a short time. After 3 months of therapy Isaac started crawling.Now he is working hard to pull up and walk. My sister in law told me that Isaacs journey reminds her of the song "He's still working on me."Everyday he does something that reminds me GOD is still working on him.
GOD is still working on me spiritually.I am not a "perfectly healthy child"either. I get angry, frustrated,  and impatient.I fail GOD everyday in some way.But GOD in HIS mercy and grace is still working on me.It amazes me that HE hasnt given up on me.God loves me and still wants me to be HIS child even though I am not perfect.God doesnt work on perfect people.He works on those who are willing to learn and change. Just as Isaac has to take  time to learn to walk and talk to be better physically, I have to take time to walk with GOD and talk to HIM daily to be spiritually healthy.
