MUCH needed rest

I am writing this after some much needed rest God gave me this afternoon.  I have been struggling with an extrememly fussy, unhappy baby for 9 months now.  After time, the sleep depravation and lack of success when trying to comfort my little one really begin to make a momma weary.  I have had feelings of inadequacy, depression and frankly, lunacy these months.  But God is faithful and has provided just what I needed at exactly the right time - His time.  

I took my cherub to the ENT this morning to learn that he has another ear infection (the 4th one in 3 months) and ear tubes are highly recommended.  While I'm unsure how we will swing this financially, I know that once more, God will be faithful and show me the answers in His time.  Having experienced ear "issues" as a young child myself, I know how miserable the poor boy must be and I just pray that God sustains him and me through this.  

Meanwhile, my firstborn is turning 7 Monday and we are preparing for his Ben 10 birthday party tomorrow.  Ten 5-7 year olds running around.  LORD HELP!  I'm planning many activities and hopefully I'll wear their little heiney's out and send them home ready for dinner then promptly to bed!  

Thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing God's journey with you!
