I was just contemplating this today: I feel my experience of parenthood has deepened my relationship with God. I've spent more time in prayer in the past 3 months than I think I ever have. I thank Him each day for her health and also don't think there's been one day since her birth where I didn't say a prayer of continued protection over her health and safety. Even in the Lord's supper each Sunday I look down at her in all her innocense and sweetness and try to imagine the love God has to sacrifice his perfect child for us just as sweet, just as innocent. I've marveled through all of this year at God's design in this process. Today I was thinking how perfect his design is that he creates us where we can't talk for the whole first year, this creates a deeper communciation and conncetion between parent and child. To tune into to all the non-verbals and to just know each other on this level is truely a gift. Its like when your spouse or best friend can know what your thinking and feeling at times without you even saying a word, only the closest to you can do that and get it right. Sure there's times she's crying and I wish she could just tell me whats wrong but I see God's wisdom in his design to start this relationship in this way, just being together and having converstations and connection with no words exchanged. Once again his design is best and I love finding new ways to discover and understand this.
Don't worry I will still include pictures of Ava each time for those of you who are tuning in eager to see those:
