safe in dada's arms

i think i mentioned in a recent post how recently we've discovered lilly's fear of the vacuum. not sure when or why this fear came about, but it's just been within the last couple of months. (maybe that's because i vacuum so rarely she hasn't had a chance to become used to it?! skrrrrt.)
anyways, it's past time and the dog hair is becoming like a blanket on the carpet so i vacuumed the loft last night. partially so our house would be cleaner, but partially because seth wanted to cuddle with his non-cuddly daughter:)
here's the proof. she will cuddle with you (well maybe not YOU, but dada) for the entire time the vacuum is running, and even afterwards if the vacuum is not immediately put out of site.
sweet girl knows she safe in her dada's arms. what a picture of how our Heavenly Father calls us to run to him and know that we are safe in his loving, all-powerful (even more than dada's) arms.
psalm 91:1-4 - "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.' Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

a very precious eternal truth, (that i admit i didn't even think about until i started this post) displayed right in our loft last night at 730pm.

love it.

and yes, i did wash the spaghetti off lilly's face before she went to bed. the house may be a mess, but i try and keep my child somewhat cleaned up:)
