Finding it hard to believe Alice is 7 months old. I'm a few days late on this, but just got around to loading the pictures today. She is so big and teaches me so much everyday. Mainly about patience! She loves me in a way that blows my mind! I am honestly her favorite person right now, and I am very aware that it won't last. So even though it is draining at times to be her favorite person, I'm trying to enjoy it the best I can. She really is so precious.
Last night she was in Sam's lap and I was standing next to them...and she held those little arms up. I about cried. It was the 1st time she reached up for me like that. What sweet moments. She seems to learn or discover something new everyday. I put her back in Sam's lap 3 times just to see her do it again. Hard to get enough of her reaching for me like that.
Oh how I pray for this little girl...that she would know the treasure of Christ and throw those arms up to Him one day. Until then I'm going to take the lesson and apply it to myself. I know the Father desires for His children to want Him the way Alice wants me. The amazing thing is that I can't drain God, He has so much to give... way more than I can give this little girl. So I am going to throw my arms up to the Father today!
Oh, I am so glad you started this blog! I love your analogies...they remind me to stay captivated myself.
