it's all the seasons in one day
Isaiah 49:15: “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!"
My first weekend of Tier 3 is over, and though it went very well (extraordinarily well, actually--and it's so much easier than the intensive!), I spent a great deal of the time missing Alma. I pumped milk for her in every ten-minute break and cooed at her over the phone and bragged to all my fellow trainees about her. Training kept me busy, of course, but every time my mind wasn't occupied, it went right back to her.
Sometimes I have a hard time understanding God's love. I compare it to my own idea of what it should be like ("If He loved me, wouldn't He ____?"), which leads to me feeling unloved. My friend Katy posted the aforementioned verse as her Facebook status today, and it was comforting to me. My love for Alma is huge, indescribable. If God's love is so constant that I could forget her before He would stop loving me, it must be pretty dang amazing.
