I am utterly amazed by the wonder of this little girl.
These are two of our first pictures of our baby girl. :)
God is magnificently intricate in the design of His creation. Much of my time is spent studying her as she learns and discovers and grows and expresses new aspects of her personality.
This experience has drastically changed my perspective in several ways. One of them is how I look at illness/disease. Formerly, I thought disease and illness of any significance or permanent consequence should be rare. My belief, whether a conscious thought or not, was that the norm for life is healthiness.
As I gaze at my little girl and think of all her inward parts, it amazes me how on earth she could be healthy. It occurred to me only in motherhood that even her health and wholeness is miraculous. I always considered the beginning of life a miracle, but now it strikes me as a second miracle that everything in her formed properly.
So far, I have not lost that sense of awe...it's still a daily occurrence that I see something about her that makes me revel in her presence and leads me to be so thankful for this precious gift God has given us. If you've ever asked me how she is doing, now you know why my answer is: "She is amazing."
