She looks up at me with my eyes and I wonder what God knows about her future. I wonder what her personality is going to be like – will she wear her heart on her sleeve like me, an introvert with a heart broken for community – or will she be the life of the party, the one who loves to make others laugh like her daddy.
Will she love baseball, cooking, and working with her hands like her daddy? Or will she be a word-girl like her mama, writing, reading, and capturing moments. I wonder, too, what God had in mind when He made me her mama. How He knew to trust me with this little life, not even two years old yet. How He knew that I wouldn’t fail completely – though He and I both know that it hasn’t all been successful. He knew that I would survive the sleepless nights, the sickness, the surgery for tubes in her ears, and the tantrums.
Oh the tantrums.
I’m still not sure I’ve survived those.
I’m over at the Raising Generations Today blog today – I’d love for you to join me & read the rest!
To Walk or Stay Book Club: Chapter 4
To Walk or Stay Book Club: Chapter 4
It’s time for the “To Walk or Stay” Book Club, Chapter 4! Who else is loving this book? My “bench friends” girls and I had the joy of having Lara hang out with us this week as we chatted about chapter 3. Y’all…that girl is the real deal. She inspired us, laughed with us, challenged us, and brought a good Word.
