My role as \u201cMama\u201d has taught me lots of things. I can change a diaper, play fetch with the dog, fix a ponytail, pick up toys, and talk on the phone all at the same time! Sometimes I marvel at how my life has changed since Liliana\u2019s arrival. Other days, it\u2019s as if she\u2019s always been here. Hearing that little sweet voice say \u201cMama\u201d is my favorite music. It astounds me to think that my heavenly Father feels the same about me. He hears me when I call. He enjoys fellowship with me. How can that be? I\u2019m not as cute as Lillie!<\/p>\n
When God the Father looks at me, He sees a purchase made by His Son. I am His and He is mine. I can call upon Him with childlike trust and confidence. I should live in a way that represents Him well. \u201cChild of God\u201d is the greatest role I will ever play, even more significant than \u201cMama.\u201d<\/p>\n
