Rest

Lately, our little family has been blessed with rest in more ways than one. First a foremost, Brinley has finally started sleeping well at night...and by well I mean waking up twice or less each night consistently. Not only has she be doing this for the past couple of weeks, but there has even been a night or two that she slept completely through the night. I hope I'm not jinxing myself by sharing this joyous information with all of you, but after being the one that has been sleep deprived for the past 11 months, I had to share this major accomplishment for both of us. Call it coinscidence that this is happening at about the time that she is getting around more/ soon to be walking or contribute it to the reflux medication that she has been on for a little more that a month...I don't care. All I know is that our nights have become much more pleasant, and I am hoping that this is how they remain...at least for a little while. After all, this momma needs to catch up on her zzz's.

Another way that our family has been blessed with rest is the fact that Bruce has been assigned to a new project at work. In all honesty, I think Bruce feels a bit let down that he is leaving behind a project that he has worked so hard on for the past three years before it is completed, but I really feel that this is something that God has his hand in. I know that after many, many months of frustration and prayer, that God is meeting our needs by allowing Bruce the opportunity to use his skills and knowledge in a different area--one that will hopefully run more efficiently and smoothly than he has had to deal with so far.

Isn't it amazing how God is so providing? Just when you think you can't take another sleepless night or another dead-end meeting at work, He provides.


“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:31-34
