The Delight of Abi

It still blows me away that this little life is in our life. Abigail Mei delights every part of me. If there is anything I have learned about parenting so far, it is this: nothing is more important (including obedience) than having relationship with this little one; having a heart-to-heart connection. I want Abi to know that there is nothing more I would rather do (not any project, not any cleaning, not any more sleep or to read a book, not to sleep in, nothing) than to be with her while simultaneously with Jesus, playing with her, honoring her, laughing with her, comforting her, feeding her, providing for her, listening to her, rolling on the floor with her, dancing with her, worshiping with her, praying with her, singing with her and to her, swimming with her, seeing her and her Baba play or cuddle; loving her and living life with her. In short: enjoying her. And there is nothing more I want from her than for her to simply enjoy me and our relationship. I don't want her to be obedient more than I want her to enjoy relationship. I don't want her to be compliant, or to go to sleep faster, or to stop taking the tissue off the tissue roll, more than I want her to just enjoy relationship with me and her Baba.

Abigail Mei, I love you with every part of me and all I want is a heart relationship with you; for you to know you are loved at all times by us, and most of all by Jesus.

You are our delight! You are His delight!
