"I don't need to see everything...just more of You"

romans 10:15


it's the first thing i hear in the morning. over the monitor, "thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!" with great feeling, with exuberance, with excitement ready to face the day! his little feet move faster than anything on my body...and oh, how he loves to kick those feet!
"how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

his feet and legs are moving this fast before he begins his morning conversations with looney bear, scout, and night-night. those toes are wiggling before he remembers that it's time to eat.
"how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

whether he's kicking his ball, splashing in the bathtub, sitting in his high chair, or just laying around...those feet are always moving. i am slightly terrified of how fast he will move once he figures out how to crawl and walk! i'll be chasing him all over and back again, i know.
"how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

wherever his feet go, i pray that they will be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. that they will be quick to take the Good News wherever God leads. i pray that, as a parent, i don't hinder those little feet. that i am able to protect them, to prepare them, and to love them well on their way to wherever they are going.

these little feet were my good news from the Giver of all good things. i am excited to see what He has planned for these sweet little feet, for all ten of his toes, and for the heart that was created to love and be loved by this mama, his sweet daddy, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

"how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
