Relationship- Christ/Myself/My son

So most of my post (or I guess all of them up to this point) have been on training.  This one is going to be a little different.  Most of you know by now I have a little boy (Camp) on the way.  Today we are 31 weeks, just 9 weeks (at most) until Reagan and I get to meet our little boy.

I was listening to a song the other day and I just couldn't get my mind off of Camp the whole time.  The chorus to the song is:

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, 
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep, 
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming 



As I listened to these lyrics I was thinking about my relationship w/ Christ and my future relationship with my son.  This song is about Christ and just sitting at his feet wanting to drink from his cup and just rest on him.  We should have a love for Him that is so deep we can't even stand it, meaning we can't help but tell everyone about it.

But like I said, this particular day, I just could not get my mind off of Camp.  There is so many references in scripture about how we should be like children or have "faith like a child".  

It is sometimes frustrating to me about how people complain about how hard it is with your first child.  Now I understand, Camp isn't here yet so it's easy for me to say now BUT I can only imagine the love I'm going to have for him and the fun we're going to have together.  

I know that when he gets here he will be 100% dependent on Reagan and I to live, be fed, be changed, taken care of in every way (other than the obvious that is up to God).  This is the beauty of it.  I can't wait for the day when "He drinks from the cup in my hand, lays back against me and breaths and I feel His heart beat".  My love for him is ALREADY so deep I can't stand it and can't wait to meet him.  I know that when I'm sitting here holding him, the peace of God and this blessing in my life will be overwhelming.

This will be one of the first songs I play for my son b/c I want him to know that GOD is the one who will be his everything!  I will won't to be but I'm only human.  God will be there for him every second b/c that is what he tells us in his word!

Can't wait to meet you Camp!

-Daddy

P.S. Sorry for the emotional side of me coming out.  A lot of you that know me just from the gym may not know this side :)
