babies

sometimes i think about the power of a little soul and get all giddy inside and my smile creeps out like the sunrise this morning. someone completely unique, who has never lived or breathed and  never can be replicated, is about to come to earth and i'm a part of it. then sometimes i think about my responsibility in that and i want to shudder and crawl back in bed-i'm no wonderwoman. i dunno what i'm doing.
my friend shared with me this quote and i ate it right up. enjoy

"We fancy that God can only manage his world with battalions, when all the while he is doing it by beautiful babies. When a wrong wants righting, or a truth wants preaching, or a continent wants opening-God sends a baby into the world... Perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother's heart, and she puts it into the baby's mind. 
And then God waits.
The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and thunderbolts. 
The greatest forces in the world are babies."





baby pictures of moi. 
pardon the picture-of-a-picture horrendous quality.
