This was taken on Katherine's 16th birthday. This is a pretty good illustration on daily life with Cori......"I am a Princess and I get to ride wherever I want!" Wes is fond of saying that Cori did not have to adjust to us. We are the ones who had to adjust to the princess in charge! Ha! Well, that is not entirely true because she is so precious and delightful. This week she asked me where daddy was. I told her he was at work, and like any normal 3 year old she asked, "Why?"I said he worked to make money. She again asked why. I told her so we could eat. The next day she asked me where daddy was and I said work. She said, "Eat?" Yes, babydoll! She is a smart little cookie!
God daily knits our hearts together more and more.
A few weeks ago when I was seriously exhausted and feeling completely helpless, we were sitting at the back of a large Bible study group at my church. As we were singing she crawled into my lap and put her arms around my neck. She stayed there through all of the songs. As we closed our eyes for prayer I felt a woman's hand on my shoulder praying for me. As I held Cori I asked God to show me how to crawl up in His lap like she was in mine because I really needed to feel His arms around me. When the prayer ended I looked up and saw the woman was wiping away tears. After the meeting ended I went to tell her how just her prayer and touch had meant so much to me. She said, " I looked over and saw her in your arms and I thought of all the times God has let me climb up into His lap like that."
Wow. Thank you, God for showing me You are always listening. Thank you for telling me I am your princess.
