My Lifesaver!
Jaden’s happy now – he was banned for awhile of holding Lynne because of his cold. Can you guess how many times a day he begged to hold her? (No, I haven’t actually kept track) And the others beg too. All these add up, you know. But thankfully the newness is wearing off just a bit. But we all, are still awed at the miracle of new life and are enjoying her immensely!
Lizzie is such a help to me these days . . . but it still is hard to rest . . . there still are six munchkins six and under, under this roof. I had my husband buy me a set of earplugs and they have proved to be quite useful in allowing me to sleep at times. Somehow noise is quite irritating to me (I think it’s mainly when I’m extra tired), even just the sound of little feet running across the floor downstairs (kinda like little mice running throughout walls or the ceiling of ones room) bugs me. So thus the earplugs are a lifesaver, I mean sanity saver!
. . . And tell me how can one rest in sweet serenity when there are little persons needing instruction in life . . . one can never run away from being Mom . . . training never ends (at least at this stage, I mean)
. . . but just so you know, you don’t need to pity me, that’s not why I write my frustrations on here. I just want to tell how the Lord “been there” for me and say that He is indeed a faithful God! Read His words below . . . He does truly help this poor weak women . . . He is my lifesaver!
“Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
neither faints nor is weary!
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak.
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall.
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings as eagles.
They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint!” – Isaiah

Lynne is a beautiful, precious gift from God! I have used ear plugs too. I especially remember using them when we were working with Josh to get him to sleep through the night. Rest well! I will pray for the Lord to give you the wisdom and strength you need for mothering this sweet little brood.
