Growing Up

I feel like Eliana is growing up so fast these days!  This morning I put her in pair of pants she hasn't worn yet because they were too big and I just felt like she looked so grown-up in them!  Then we went and had ice cream this afternoon and it was her first ice cream cone experience and she did so great!  

I feel like watching her grow up is so emotional.  And apparently it doesn't get any better, according to my informal Facebook survey!

I also was thinking about how much I love Eliana and how she is just living her life, doing her thing and I know she feels loved but there is no way she can actually comprehend the depth of my love for her.  She just can't get it!  And she likely won't unless she herself has a child some day.  

I have a feeling this is how it is with us and God.  We are down here on earth, living life, doing our own thing, knowing we are loved, but not even remotely understanding how much He really loves us.  And the crazy thing is we won't ever understand, at least until we see Him face to face someday.  That is amazing to think about.  I want to rest in His amazing love each and every day!
