babies

Babies are amazing! No, I'm serious! Just thinking about Zion, what he can and can't do...how much he's developed and how much he has yet to develop...what makes him laugh and cry...it's amazing! Compared with infancy, he's practically in college; yet, compared with pre-school, he's still a tiny baby. He can let me know he needs something, though cannot always tell me what. He decides what he does and does not like to eat, when he wants to get out of the tub, and how long mommy spends on the computer. Yet, he has no say about whether we go to the store or not, how long we spend at the YWAM base, and when we go see the doctor. In fact, when we get in the car or I put him in the stroller to go someplace, he has no clue what we are up to! He can entertain himself, but by his ignorance can quickly destroy things, hurt himself, or get himeself stuck in a room. Although he can stand holding on to something, he does not understand what is or is not stable and often ends up on his back or sitting on his bum wondering what happened.

I could go on. But instead, I will leave you with one last thought. Ever wondered how we appear to God? We know only so much...we can do only so much...we can go only so many places...
