praising God...

I am not always good about praising God in all circumstances. My attitude is not always one that brings him glory. This week, while Kevin was out of town, I had one very sick son, who was so fussy and couldn't be soothed. He has an upper respiratory infection and croup. He didn't sleep for more then a few minutes for 2 days. I had all 3 kids on my own, all desperately needing some loving and to top it off I had an awful cold and wanted to curl up and go to sleep! I couldn't meet all their needs, someone was crying for something all day for 2 days straight.
I was reminded in the middle of the night while I rocked my screaming son as he coughed and cried that rocking him is a gift from God. That mothering him, mothering all 3 of my beautiful babies is a gift from God and I need to do it to HIS glory! No I can not always meet all their needs at once, but I can adjust my attitude and mother them gently and with patience, even when I am sick, in a way that would bring my Heavenly Father glory, that is why I am here, that is why he created me, to bring him glory! Thank you dear Jesus for the opportunity to be their Mama!

7 months..

My boy turned 7 months on the 29th! He has had some congestion this last month that I think has caused him some sleeping issues at night. He has done better the last couple of nights tho, hopefully he will stay sleeping through the night again! He wants so badly to crawl and is scooting backwards but has not figured out how to propel himself forward yet! He is LOUD, he makes this screeching sound when he is happy/excited that could wake the dead... he is hilarious! He is still extra snugly, majorly attached to his binky, loving his baby food, nursing 5 times a day and the best baby in the world, we adore him! He has really become attatched to me lately and gets upset when I leave the room, even if Kevs holding him, especially when he is sleepy, it makes my heart happy because I know he will not always be that way, so I am currently eating it up!
