This is my first attempt at blogging. I have tried to keep a journal in the past and have failed - never lasting for more than a month. This time I have a focus and more time on my hands (sort of). And so, I will write about encouragement.
My life has changed completely in the past month. My daughter, Julia Eve, was born on December 10, 2009. She is perfect, beautiful, a blessing. And now I am a Mother. And I need some encouragement. People ask how it's going - always great. We are adjusting, the baby is healthy, growing. And yet, at home, I am often in tears. The baby is crying and I don't know why - I can't read her cues. The baby won't go to sleep and I need some time for myself - to eat, take a shower, sleep. I miss quiet evenings with my husband, my job, sleep. I am still recovering from the pain of childbirth.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills -
From where comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord
Who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121 : 1,2
