Chicken Little

Wow!!! It's hard to believe Chicken Little is 6 weeks old. It seems like yesterday they were handing her to me. What was I to do with this new little life? Motherhood has been more challenging that I ever imagined it would be, but the best things in life worth having, aren't always easy to manage. After the first night of crying all night, I searched everywhere for the instruction manual and relized the doctors/nurses forgot to give it to me along with this beautiful little girl. How could someone so beautiful make such a noise? God definitely blessed her with a perfect set of lungs. Finally after about 4 weeks or so, things have seemed to taper off and the nights of screaming are down to a minimal. Oh, and I found that instruction manual I thought they forgot to give me. God had it waiting at home for me. I just had to open it and search His word. I found wonderful words of encouragement in Psalms 94:16 "In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul." My Father comforts me when Motherhood overwhelms me. When I think I can't go any more, when I can't take the crying any longer, God holds us both close to Him. Sometimes Mommy needs holding and rocking too. It's amazing the comforts He has sent, be they through scripture, through my husband, through grandparents and family, through our church family, through prayers, or through that wonderful friend and her family He has blessed me with. God has been so good to me!
Chicken Little is now sleeping peacefully in her swing (one of the best gifts--Thanks Dad and Family). She should soon be waking up--hungry of course, and expecting mommy to be standing there with a dry diapee and a warm bottle. And when she awakens, there I'll be, with all the things she needs, a smile and two arms in which to wrap her up in--All because my Father is there doing the same for me!!!!!!
