Steps forward...

All week long we've been hearing these words around our house...

"He's up... he's up... he's up... ugh, he's down!"

Jacob's trying to crawl. He gets up on all fours and just rocks. I know he wants to take that first little step forward but he hasn't quite gotten it all figured out. Part of me is excited but the other part wants him to stay small forever and never move forward. Life will change for all of us once he's movin' and groovin'. I'll have to keep a closer eye on him for sure!

Makes me wonder how many times God is watching me. Watching me rock back and forth, trying to figure it all out. Will I take the first step forward? Will I go back down and wait until I get it all figured out? Will I put my faith in Him and just do it? I can just imagine the smile on His face each time I take a little step forward!

Hey. That was the first slide I have made. It is way too easy. Somehow it loads your pics off your computer for you; really quick too. Go make yourself one, I will be back to check it out. How is your grandpa doing?

That is such a beautiful and apt comparison, Stacey! Oh how many times I revert from walking to crawling... it's shameful really.

That was a cool way to think about it.

I love to watch Jake. He is too cute. I love that he knows my voice on the phone too. That is fun.
