I was on the floor watching hulu while sorting through some papers and organizing, when I heard a noise. I looked up on the bed and there was an awake Layla. She started making some crying/grunting noises as she does sometimes when she first wakes up. She held out her arms and stood up. I was a slight distance away but I didn’t want to scoot over much less in case I ruin my piles, so I held my arms up for her to jump. And jump she did.
Without a second thought, without a “move closer, Mommy”, without a look of fear. She just stepped off the bed confident in the knowledge that I would catch her. I caught her and put her in my lap. I thanked God for giving me a daughter, for using her to remind of things I know. Why don’t I trust Him like that? When He says come, why don’t I just jump off the ledge with no fear, no doubt, no questions asked, just leap? He’s never dropped me yet, He never will. I so need to have faith like a child.
