been so busy looking after baby E and have sadly neglected my devotion...
but i take heart at this quote that i received through email today because it has references to motherhood!
DON'T measure God's mind by your own. It would be a poor love that depended not on itself, but on the feelings of the person loved. A crying baby turns away from its mother's breast, but she does not put it away till it stops crying. She holds it closer. For my part, in the worst mood I am ever in, when I don't feel I love God at all, I just look up to His love. I say to Him, "Look at me. See what state I am in. Help me!" Ah! you would wonder how that makes peace. And the love comes of itself; sometimes so strong, it nearly breaks my heart.
--GEORGE MACDONALD
please pray for J and me as well as for our new addition; in my new role i realise how much we have to lean upon God for wisdom and strength, and most importantly, grace.
