Yucky Feeling

Mason isn't feeling well and that makes it hard on all of us. We can't just go and do whatever we want because he is needing to be home and taken care of. He is needing to be looked after when he eats or drinks. He is needing to rest. He is needing to be held and rocked. He is needing to be patted. He is needing his mommy and daddy to be patient when he doesn't know what he wants. He is needing a lot right now. His momma is about to loose her mind but he is needing me to be sane to take care of him. I have some work I have to do but Mason is needing me to be home.

God never promises us all our "wants" but he fulfills our needs endlessly. Why do I question this with my own child? I have a million other things I need to do and want to do right now but for a day it is put on hold and it is annoying to a degree. I am not annoyed with Mason just annoyed in the situation. Does God ever get overwhelmed by the neediness of me?? I know the answer is no but sometimes I just get overwhelmed with life and I am instructed to go to my Father before anyone else. And when I do I feel like he is sitting there thinking , "Oh, great, here she is again!"

I know in my knower that God does not work this way. His grace and love is never ending and unconditional. I cling to this daily! Despite all the people I have successfully surrounded myself with I still need my Father's love, pat, rocking, singing, and patience

Wonderful way to look at a very frustrating situation. Give Mason a kiss for me--and it will be all better soon! :)

Thank you for the reminder. I hope that Mason starts feeling better soon. Tell him his Aunt Kassie loves him. I will pray for you also.

I love the way you love your babies!! They are so lucky to have such a sweet, huggy, cuddly, patty, holdy, patient mama . . . Just like we are lucky to have a sweet, huggy, cuddly, patty, holdy, patient Savior!!
