new insight: kennedi loves the prayer room

So, you'd think that I would remember that for 9 months my baby girl was in the prayer room in my womb for 2-6 hours a day, depending on the day. this means, she knows the sounds and is comforted by the music. I LOVE THIS!
This morning was a little rough around the edges. Kennedi has been sleeping 3-4 hours at a time through the night which has been AMAZING for me (and Ben). But as soon as daylight hits, she's in a tizzy. So from about 6am-10am she has been screaming on and off. This is frustrating because I am man and can't bring peace to her on my own (which I would like it to be that easy) and then all that's left after diaper change, feeding her, trying to pat her back, is... prayer.
A wise couple (namely the Internicolas) told us in our marriage counseling that each baby brings out another ugly part of you that reminds you that you are man and HE is God. I am finding this is very true. The more I can't do things on my own, the more I get frustrated with myself and my daughter when she is trying to reveal to me what she wants by screaming. I then must realize the Holy Spirit is MUCH better at declaring the words of the Father that alone give true peace than I am at comforting her even in the natural. (this makes my job a lot easier, when God can be God, and I can be the best mom I know how)
That peace came at about 8am this morning when Ben came to rescue his 2 girls from our house. I needed to get out of the house and Kennedi needed her daddy to hold her (and I needed him to hold her too). Then, back to the intro of this blog, dad put her to sleep and she slept for the next 4 hours! She loved the singing and I got to pray and be before the Lord for a bit too!
Every day there is an opportunity for me to open my eyes and see His new mercies, and now another opportunity is to be able to reveal that same mercy to my daughter.
I did remember this verse though today from 1 Corinthians 13 when I didn't know what to do with my screaming little girl...
Love Suffers Long.
