I became a grandmother for the first time last week! Everyone told me it would be the most amazing experience but I had to live in the moment myself to fully grasp how amazing it is! So what’s all the hype about? Seeing your daughter in the face of her newborn sorta rocks your center of gravity for a bit. I don’t always have the best of memories, but at the moment of first holding my new granddaughter, so many pictures came flooding back to my mind. It was a bit like holding my own baby girl so many years ago. I found myself doing the baby dance without even realizing it. Bits of lullabies I had forgotten escaped my lips at 3 AM and like riding a bike, you never forget how to change a diaper in the dark! And don’t get me started on that new baby smell!  Not only do you get to pour yourself into a new life but you get to recall the joys and heartaches of raising your own little ones. People tell you it’s unspeakable joy to be a grandparent, but it’s hard to comprehend until you’re in the moment.

It’s a bit like telling people about entering into a relationship with God. I can tell you it’s the most amazing thing you’ll ever experience but you’ll never know until you enter into it. The best part about this relationship is you can claim it for yourself now. There’s no need to wait for others to make it true in your life like waiting to be called “Grandma”. It’s available now. Walking with Jesus will rock your center of gravity, it will change your world, and like holding a newborn it will bring you unspeakable joy.
