a year has passed...

One year has passed since...
That day, we waited for finally came and we met our beautiful daughter for the first time. Since that day, we have marveled in her cuteness, soaked up her smiles, tickled her belly, made her laugh, enjoyed her presence, comforted her, held her close, nuzzled her neck, tired to coerce kisses from her, been amazed by her, our hearts have been melted by her, been dazzled by her beauty, astonished by her bravery and just consumed by her. We love her, so much.

Madison is in love with two people most of all, Moriah and her daddy. We have tried to teach her Moriah is Mo-Mo, but she calls everyone ma ma. Even daddy. If Moriah goes anywhere in the house, Madison is right behind her. BUT, when her daddy comes home, it is all him. She clings to him will have no other. She loves him. She has the same routine with him every day when he comes home. If she was sleeping, she wakes up. Reaches for him, smiles sweetly when she is where she wants to be-held tight. She takes off his hat, tries to put it on her head. She takes his pen out of his pocket, puts it into her mouth. She then tries to remove every other object from his shirt pocket... She loves her daddy.

This little girl has grown so much his past year, it has been a beautiful journey to be part of. Mostly, she has grown on us.

She took her first real steps two days ago...guess who to. Daddy, of course. She went about 6 steps and was thrilled with herself. She has tried to do it several times since and has done pretty well. She enjoys the thrill. I just enjoy watching her learn. She's neat.

Let Him dwell within me, ALL of my days. He is my and the only source of real JOY! The world is a liar. Only YOU can decide who you want to be, your identity is either in the world or in Jesus. If it's in Jesus then you are perfect because He is perfect. He atoned for all of our real imperfections. If sin leads to death, why do we chase it? Why do we chase the grave instead of His grace? Me too, it's a daily surrender of my desire for the world. Daily, hourly, minutely. The pull is intense and the struggle is real. Literally. No matter what happens to me, you know your mother's heart chases after Jesus Christ Himself. It is not the path of least resistance. On the contrary. I live my life for Him and through Him because I have already experienced the contrary. It was a state of darkness and death. Absence of light and of love. Of course I want to spare you the suffering of that course but sometimes we must walk through that mire to appreciate Him as he washes it off of us s...
