After being home in Hammond for a while I made a few observations that I felt that I needed to write out because they made me smile and I know God delights in them :)
I love my mom sooo much. She's so strong and so beautiful. She's definitely one of my heroes. She wasn't the perfect mom in any sense but she did the best she could with the cards she was dealt and I'm very grateful. Every time I'm home I realize that I'm more and more like her everyday. Not only do I look a lot like her but I AM like her in a lot of ways (for better or worse). We laugh at the same things, have the same handwriting, have the same little quirks, the same pet peeves, etc. We were washing dishes together the other night and I was mentioning how much I realized that during this trip. I saw this slow smile spread across her face. It just said it all. She deeply enjoyed that her daughter is like her (and knows it!). And in the second I just heard the Lord laugh and delight in that. Not only because I honor and delight in my mom but that that's how He feels about me.
As my Father the more time I spend with Him, the more and more I become like Him. He's writing who He is on my heart. I look like Him, I'm beginning to act like Him, I understand His heart more and more every day.
I can just see Him, a slow smile spreading across His face, deeply enjoying His favorite daughter becoming more like Him.
