Had my first difficult night the other night with E2 getting hardly any sleep. First of many more to come, if he's anything like our daughter! The next day, I was reading through some notes I had taken from past sermons and this quote jumped out at me:
"I have learnt to kiss the wave that strikes me against the Rock of ages"
- Spurgeon.
Have I learnt this too? Hmm, I'm not sure I have! But as I read that quote, I remember thinking at 6am after some crying (from me, not from E2!) that today was a new day and I subsequently prayed for God's grace and mercies for this new day. And I remembered experiencing my labour pains too and praying out loud over and over, "Please Father, help me through this, give me your strength. I need you, Lord". The waves certainly strike me against the Rock! So while I'm not at the "kissing the wave" stage just yet, maybe I'll get there one day?
