Motherhood

Pretty baby,

I was just thinking yesterday how awesome it is that God, in His infinite wisdom, has tailored each human relationship to reflect parts of His relationship with us. Marriage, Parent/child, friendships...
These past few weeks, with all of this in mind, have been so awesome in that respect. Inspiring my mind toward deeper meditations on who God is to me and how deep His love for us is. What it means that he cares for us as His children. Even how it grieves Him when we do things to turn away from Him and cause pain and hardship for ourselves. OR even how it must pain Him to see us in pain even when it is not our fault. And how He can so deeply comfort us in that pain- just as there seem to be times when May wants me or Dad instead of anyone else. She knows that we know her best, and we have comforted her before, so surely, we will be able to comfort her again. Trust in the love that we give her. How backward it is that I do not alway have trust in the love that God has given, and will surely continue to give, to me.
Motherhood has been amazing already. I have never felt more like a women in God's plan than I have as a mother to this precious treasure from God. How sweet it is to think that He always knew he would give us this gift of such meaning and depth. This wonderful baby girl.
