i was able to put a lot of things into perspective, and i have a little almost-two-year-old to thank for it. yep, baby sophia, she is such a blessing in my life and a reminder to me that God loves us, that he wants us to be smiling and living lives full of joy and laughter. he wants us to experience an everlasting joy we cannot explain. he wants us to posses a childlike excitement over anything and everything. he wants us to look at the world as our playground and to know that we can conquer it with his help.
even if it was for a brief moment today, i felt that joy again, and it's been a long while since i felt such consuming joy, some semblance of wholeness in my broken heart. and i knew that God was with me today.
more thoughts later on what sophia taught me--about the simple joys in life, about dealing with crap, and about learning how to piece things together.
but, for now, here's looking at you, kid. and a prayer for God's joy to be ever present in your life and all those you meet.
