okay, so i love kids. seriously...love them. most of the time, i would rather be around a two-year old than anyone my own age. last night was the most fun i have had in quite some time...well, actually since the last i got to hang out with the coolest kids i know. me, lili, and shua spent the evening with the beautifully pregnant shay and her two incredible girls. jordyn and rylee--so much fun. being around them brings me more happiness than anything else i know. there is just something so pure and breathtaking about children...i'll never get used to it.

i look at jordy bug and i am utterly amazed. it blows my mind to think of how many changes take place in the first couple of years of life. there is no way i will ever be able to grasp the greatness of a God who engineered this whole life thing. a God who knits us together in our mothers' wombs and knows every detail of who we are and who we are to become. a God who makes our tiny bodies in such a way that we have all we need to grow into adults (i just don't get that at all). a God who loves us no matter how often we fall short of His glory...

thanks Abba.
