Part 2

Well, so much for a nap. About the time I fell asleep T woke up, followed shortly by E. Oh, well. Sure was a great 20 minutes of rest.
We so need to find a place to live. I have been waiting for 3 days to use the washer & dryer. The neighbors have been fighting over it all week. Finally tonight it was our turn. 4 people sure make a lot of laundry. I just finished my fifth load. It's done and I don't have to worry about it until Saturday again. :)
E had a not so good night. Nothing was working. Outside, inside, walk, bounce, rock, sway, bump, sing, hush, vacuum, running water, hair dryer, humming, baby music, baby toy noises, Gripe Water, homeopathic Colic medicine, Colic Tablets, Little Tummies, a long worm bath with mama and Bob Marley's Buffalo soldier. Yes Bob!! It has been proved in a scientific study that Buffalo soldier has the same beat as a mothers heart. Actually, Reggae has a beat that is liken to the human heart. Pretty cool. I know a bit of useless information. But you never know when you might be on Jeopardy!

So here I am with E really mad, so I tried everything. She is just not interested. I rubbed oral gel on her bottom gum and that's all she wrote. She was out for a good hour. I am not sure if it was the gel or a combination of all the stuff I tried every 15 minutes. But she finally gave it up. I think. She is stirring in her bed right now. I wonder why? Does she know that we're expecting a big storm? Is she sensing that my hand is driving me nuts? Was it something I ate or drank? I just don't know.

I have been worried,( I worry about just about everything) but someone at bible study said something about that worrying is an insult to God. When someone worries, that are essentially telling God, that He is not in control and basically one does not trust that God has a plan for your life. Let me just say that this is not new information to me, but the lady who said it, said it in such away that I had a Uh, Ha moment. It seems that I often need these reminders. God is so good about placing people with the right words in my life. So, I can totally relate to what Jerelyn was saying in her Blog. God totally knows what He's doing. I just need to stop trying to help Him, He just does not need my help!!!
Now that it is in print, I can come back to read it and remind myself of it.

E is up and smiling! It's the middle of the night, all the other babies in the world are sleeping. She does not seem to care. Her smile just light up the room. I think she just exploded!!! Maybe she does have gas... Poor baby.
Bye for now, God is Blessing you and doesn't need our help today.

I constantly have to battle my urge to worry. It's the worst. I know God is in control and wants me to surrender everything to Him. But yet I always manage to keep some of it to myself and worry about it. Thank goodness God is a God of forgiveness and grace!!

I often need to take my own advice about not worrying. As you can tell about my recent posts about what is happening next year I do tend to worry. I don't want to and that is a really interesting thought about worrying. I want to leave it all up to Him.
Lord, why don't we trust you more? We give it all over to you. Help us not to worry and to trust you. You know so much better than we do.

Thanks for the reminder on a big God we serve. WE SERVE, interesting thought... we often times want Him to serve us, do things for us. But its not about me (even though my favorite glass says "focus on me").

Sorry E is not so quiet and peaceful. That would be yucky and I can't imagine being exhausted every day when I go back to work. Whew, lots to think about but NOT to worry :)
