Rockin

God is sovereign. He is gracious. He blesses me even though I am prone to wander. For this I am extremely thankful. Sometimes He causes Griffin to wake up around 10:30 pm crying a little and I go in his room, pick him up, and just rock him for awhile. This ministers to my soul, as Tyler pointed out to me after I came back in the living room after rocking him. See Griffin is very mobile now. He does not sit still unless he has a bottle in his mouth and even then he's fidgety. So getting to rock him as he nestles up against me and goes back to sleep is like gold. Tonight I just held him and prayed over him thanking God for him and trying to enjoy the moment, realizing he will one day not be a baby at all anymore and I won't be able to treat him like a baby. Lord willing, he will continue to grow and change and become a man. I wonder what he will be like. What will he do with his one life God has given him? It is so exciting to know that we get to watch him grow up. That God has given us this sweet boy to just enjoy and love. He is easy to love that is for a fact. So, I am thankful for rocking chairs and for moments like God gave me tonight. To brand new Mommies out there -enjoy each moment God gives you with your little ones, for they are each a special gift from above.

So true Haley. I still sometimes rock Brady but, it's definitely not as much anymore...but, I can remember when he would wake up in the middle of the night and I would sit and rock him and do the same thing you do with Griffin now...pray over him and wonder about him. It is good for our souls...
But, it's always a good reminder to sit and appreciate these little gifts God has given us.
Thanks for that today... :)
