New normal

Ok, we had an empty house for one night before Hudson Willard Lewis joined us. It has been 5 days since his birth and he is still in the NICU. He is doing well, he just needs to learn how to eat. So I am here at the hospital to deliver milk and be with my son. They let me try to breastfeed last time I was down there, it was wonderful.

So, in the post before last I said that things were back to normal because all the grandparents were gone for a while...well. Now we are going to have a new normal. I am now part of a family of 4. Wow. It all came so sudden, as I said before, I am not ready. But, such is life. There is a reason why God wanted Hudson to be here now, and I may never be privileged to know the reason. And that's ok.

Oh! Trust. "Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation, for you I will with all the day long." Your timing is perfect. Help me to come to you today with a hunger to learn from you through your word for "all scripture is God breathed" and I can grow closer to you every day.

Life is really not terrible. I do have struggles, but I live under grace and have no need to fear death. Nothing in this life can separate me from the love and sacrifice that Christ gave. I choose to seek him no matter what life sends me. Even when it sends me sweet bundles of joy! Help me, Jesus, to be grateful to you for this gift of life, for Hudson would not have life if it were not for you.

It is a beautiful day! Lead me on and I will run after you!
