Until 4:50am

Haley baby has been teething the past couple days and it has been her worst time teething yet. Motrin didnt even help at all. 

The night before last I didnt get much sleep. She had such a bad time that she wanted to be nursing all. night. long. And would SCREAM if I didnt give it to her. That meant not much sleep for me. 

Yesterday was very hard because of it, and continued in much the same pattern. She cried all day. And nursed constantly. Hardly napped. It was a lot. 

Last night she seemed to be doing a little better until midnight. She began screaming unless she was nursing. 

I said a prayer. 

I told the Lord I couldn't do it again. The medicine wouldnt help and he was my only hope. I needed sleep. And I needed to have a better day today. 

I asked Him if he would please just let her sleep until like 4:50am or something.. that way I could get up early to go on my walk/run and spend time with Him and still get sleep. 

Guess what? 

She didnt wake up until 4:45am. 

I know that God is real. I know He hears every word I say and every thought I think. 

Sometimes my prayers are answered very directly like this. 

But sometimes, they're not. 

They go the opposite way.

But I know now that that doesnt mean he isnt listening or that He doesnt care. 

He is merciful and full of loving kindness and will only ever do that which is absolutely BEST, for me.
