Strange title huh...? but its fitting I promise to what my past couple of weeks have been like here. Life is moving on the baby home and I am soaking up every minute I have to learn from those more experienced then me and grow. These babies are growing and developing in leaps and bounds. One is walking and now starting to talk with some clarity and it just makes my heart so happy when I say something and he repeats it back to me almost perfectly...He is such a bundle of joy and has really adjusted to his life here well and has started to fuss less and less.. He loves to sing and dance and is always so joyful. My two girls are also developing nicely too the youngest one is rolling every where, you cant take your eyes off of her or she may be under the sofa in the next instant. She just started to pull herself up to a standing position just this evening which is Insane since she isn't crawling yet and only 6 months old... Both the girls make lots of noises with their mouths and make joyful noises unto the Lord all day long.Our tiny baby is adjusting slowly but adjusting... He loves to eat and hates to sleep.. He is gaining weight like nobodies business and is such a cute Roley poly baby boy.. Now... That all sounds awesome and it totally is, but It isn't what is teaching me those three things above. If you noticed I didn't mention one of my darling babies (just saving the best for last you know ;)). Well my baby girl who will be 8 months soon, is sick. She is one that I have become pretty close too and pretty much love this little girl like she is my own baby. I unfortunately cant give details for her sickness.. so all I can say is that she is very sick and it causes her daily pain. Here's where both my faith and children songs come in. She is an overall happy baby when she isn't in pain. And my day is full of me singing lots of songs for her to keep her distracted and busy. Her favorite ones to sing are "If your Happy and You Know It", and "Hes Got the Whole World". Now I am the type of person that has always wanted to protect those who are close to me and it is some thing I have done my whole life. If I could take some ones pain I would. And to watch this little girl be in pain and I cant do anything to help hurts. It reminds me of my complete and her complete helplessness. The only thing that can save her is the Lord. In so many ways and when I was sick and hurting the only one who could save me was the Lord. The Lord is using this situation to teach me faith. I know that only he holds this little girl in his hands and He is the one who has given her this sickness for her and my good. I must trust him and his goodness. Which isn't easy but faith... only needs to be as small as a mustard seed. I know my Lord is capable of anything and He could heal her if He wanted to. I pray every night that the Lord just continues to do his will in regards to my baby and that he gives me strength to take care of her and to have faith in His goodness.. Today she had a not so great day and I was singing "He's Got the Whole World" and with out even knowing it my heart was comforted. The Lord used this simple children's song to remind me that He holds everything in His hand. It was so encouraging and totally providential that her favorite song is that one. So know when I sing that song to her its full of a whole different meaning to me.. I also sing "This is My Fathers World" to get her to sleep and once again so Ironic that both of those songs work so completely in this situation.
Please pray for our dear little girl, 1. That we will be able to get her to the Doctor soon, 2. that the Doctor will be able to diagnose her and show us how to help her. and last but not least 3. pray for ease of pain in her little body..
All of us here would really appreciate that...
