New Mom Moment

I wanted to write this as a seperate post because I feel it is pretty significant, at least to this new mom. On Friday, Isaiah and I had a rough morning. He was cranky and I was emotional, so you can imagine the tears that were flowing at our house. But during this time of frustration, the Lord revealed Himself to me. I had been thinking that even though I was frustrated with Isaiah at this moment, I love being at home with him and am envious of other people who get to spend time with him. I know that it is important that he learns to stay with others, and I love the help that my family and friends give me as I learn this mommy business, but I love the fact that he has a special smile when I walk into the room, or cries when I leave, or will only settle down for me at times. As I was thinking about all this, the Lord revealed to me that this is the same for him regarding me. He loves me so much that he is jealous of the time I spend with others and consumed by other things, things of this world. He wants me all to himself, so much that he provided a way for this relationship through his Son. I am so blessed to be a child of the King and yet I try so hard to do things on my own. As I watch my son learn to be independent and do things on his own, I am reminded that it is also my responsiblity to teach him to be dependent on our Heavenly Father.
