It always gets better.

Hazel had a few rough hours, a few rough feedings and one or two rough nights recently. It got me frustrated and feeling hopeless pretty quickly. But of course she followed those rough patches up by several full nights of sleep that had me feeling renewed again. It always gets better, huh Hazel!

Take time to read.

Today I read Hazel the first few pages of her Jesus Storybook Bible that our church gave to her. She patiently and intently listened to me as I read to her the simple, kid-like interpretation of the Bible - and of course I wept. It was an amazing time with my baby girl to be reading her those words. So powerful, so true.
