To cry, or not to cry
I am so excited for church tonight. It's Wednesday, something I think most churches do right. By the time Tuesday rolls around, I am grasping for Godly thoughts. At this very moment I am listening to my darling daughter cry her head off because I put her in her crib for a nap instead of holding her, and all I feel is anxiety. It's a difficult decision, whether to let the baby cry it out or not. I wonder what Mary did. And as God's daughter, what does he do with me. Does he address my needs instantly or let me wait it out and figure out on my own how to calm myself. I guess both are true. There are times when I was trying so hard to figure out God's will. I was crying out to him everyday, wanting Him to fix it for me. And, yet, when I would let go and allow rest to come, he would fill me with peace about the right decision to make. My struggle is trying too hard, when He is sufficient for all my needs. Trust. I wish my daughter would trust that she can fall asleep on her own. Well...off I go to calm her.
