Amazed

I think Madison is special. Well, of course I KNOW she is...I mean realllly special. She is fascinating to watch too. I will describe the scenarios that I think speak of her brilliance.

Matt asked me to turn the tv down the other day. I looked at him funny because the remote was clearly out of my reach. Madison heard this and promptly handed me the remote. Now, he never said "remote", so I know she understood the concept of volume or changing a setting that can only be completed with a remote. Brilliant.

If something is different, or out of place, she will will spot it with her eagle eye. We always keep the bathroom door closed, due to her tendency to play in the toilet. She was playing as usual this morning..I went into the bedroom for a second and came out to find she had spied the barely opened bathroom door. She was playing in the living room 2 seconds prior, how did she know it was open?

If my bedroom door is left cracked, she will stop what she is doing to go and close the door. I am just impressed that she notices such a small detail.

Last night, I had cleaned up the living room, putting all her toys away. Madison knows where to go to retrieve anything toy she wants. I placed the booklet her grandma gave her on the coffee table so I would not forget to give her the stickers today. The second she woke up, she made a bee-line for that book. How did she see it so quickly? She notices anything, anywhere, anytime that is out of place or that she can get into. It's increadible. She is gifted. :)

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...
