all too often i feel as though if i can't do something big for God, if i can't be something big for Him, then there is almost no point. what good can i really be to Him? why would He care when there are so many people in the world that ARE doing something BIG, ARE being something big.
today as i was rocking ava to sleep i was reflecting on the past couple of days. daily it amazes me how much ava grows and changes and learns. things she wasn't doing on monday she is doing like a pro by wednesday. truthfully, though, the things she does and learns aren't really too huge. i mean, honestly? mostly all the people i know can crawl if they want to, they can point out the puppy in pictures if asked, and they can actually speak english - you know, with words. and yet? every new milestone that she hits is exactly that to me - a milestone. i am SO PROUD, SO THRILLED, SO SURE that there has never been a better, smarter, more wonderful person in all the world in all its days.
how about that? i'm pretty sure i'll always think that about ava, no matter how old she gets. i'm always going to be proud of her and think that she is THE BEST. and come to think of it, wouldn't my Dad feel the same about me? each stumbling move i make, each time i fall down but somehow make it to my feet again, each time i raise my hands in adoration...i think He just might be SO PROUD, SO THRILLED, and even SO SURE that i am the best, most wonderfull-est person in the world. (don't worry, He's big enough to feel the same about you too).
