It has been so long. Jack and Em were only 11 months apart, so Jack slept through the night for one month before Em was born. Then, it was time to start over with a newborn. I think Em slept through the night 4 months or so before Zeke was born. So, there was that. But, it feels like forever and finally Zekey is sleeping through the night, and this means that I can set the alarm for 5:00 a.m....
From 5:00 to 6:00 is my favorite hour of the day. I sip my coffee in almost complete confidence that I will not be disturbed. I seek God's face through prayer, His word, IF videos, and books that feed my soul. Zeke has been sleeping through the night, most nights, for the past two weeks, and I already feel like a new woman. I start the day feeling like rested and ready. Each morning as I fumble in the dark to find my slippers and robe and then slowly make my way down the dark hall to the kitchen, I thank Jesus over and over for a full night of sleep and the ability to rise early to meet with Him! Such a gift!
I am finally catching my breath, finding time to do a few things I enjoy like writing, reading, and exercising. Thank You, Jesus!! My heart is so full of gratitude!!
