Gravity



Having a child... well, more specifically having a girl, has brought gravity to my experiences. Through her innocence, I am learning my own worth. When I look into her eyes and my spirit recognizes hers, I know that I could never harm her or abandon her. I could never damage her or break her heart. When I look into her eyes, I see my noblest calling, my purpose in life. I pray that I will never fail her, so that when gravity one day settles on her, she will have peace and untarnished joy.

I remember vividly one day looking into Savannah's eyes and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was a daughter of God. So odd the weight of the reality at that moment. I have been raised my whole life hearing that I was a daughter of God... believing it. But I think it took that brief glimpse at my daughter for me to KNOW it... me and her... two daughters... together... we are so powerful and blessed!
