I Want to Know You More

I've been meaning to write an update, but just haven't had the opportunity (or taken the opportunity) to do so. Plus, I've had "writer's block". Nothing has really jumped out at me this week to "blog" about - until now. I'm sitting here listening to music by Jason Catron - and one of my favorite songs is on... I Want to Know You More. Some day, I want Corbett to sing this song... it is beautiful!

So, that led to my thoughts on this blog...

I want to know you more!

My mind is often carried into the future... wondering what each of my divine miracles will become!

Maggie - the sweet-spirited, eager to please little girl! She aspires to be a doctor or nurse right now. I see her as a Mommy, too. Her tender heart is treasured in mine! Chap - Such a passionate, shy, and loving little boy. He'd be embarrassed that I'm even talking about him. He'll be a "helper" in some way - ready to lend a hand with whatever is needed. Maggie had a pile of toys to put up tonight, and he ran to her and said, "Can I help?" Such a gentle giver!
Whit - our free-spirited, fun-loving little boy. Whatever he becomes, it will be something where he doesn't have to sit down! I could see him as an engineer, trying to figure out how things work.

Now, lets imagine - they're all the age to play t-ball. Considering the developmental patterns of a 4 year old... here is what I see each of them doing.... Maggie - picking flowers in the outfield, hoping the ball isn't hit to her. She wouldn't want to make someone sad by throwing them out! Chap - catching, with the mask on - hoping no one notices him, and hoping he doesn't make a mistake... for if he does, a meltdown will be in the works. Whit - hmmm. His size has me put him at short stop, or second base. However, his personality has me put him sitting in the dirt, making dirt piles - standing up and jumping on them to flatten them out. His mind is as far from the game as mine usually is while watching baseball!

I Want to Know You More

I love watching them grow, and imagining what they'll become. Tonight, they're sleeping in their beds, with just their sweet dreams - and no worries of tomorrow.

I Want to Know You More!

"Oh, I want to know You more. , deep within my soul, I want to know You! Oh, I want to feel your heart and know your mind. Looking in Your eyes, stirs up within me cries that say, I want to know You. Oh, I want to know You more!

I picture God, our Father, wanting to know US more... and wanting US to know HIM more! What an amazing thought - as I think about how much I want to know my children!
