I was emotional after a conversation with Christen the other day during lunch. We were just chatting and talking about babies. Then she said, " Lauren is your baby." To which I replied, " And you are my baby too." She retorted, " No, I'm not your baby. I'm growing up! I need to grow up and have my own baby!"
It is painful to think of her growing up and leaving us someday. I really wish I could stop the clock and stop her from growing. I don't want her to grow up. I want her to be my little baby forever. That's when I'm reminded that she doesn't belong to me, but she belongs to God, and He has graciously allowed me to parent her and bring her up to fulfill His purposes for her life.
