Refreshed

I feel refreshed today and I am so thankful.

My husband and I went on a date night last night, and instead of heading to a movie...we opted to pick up the "sweetness" and head home to turn in early. He also suprised me by taking over a whole night of Caroline duty so I could get some sleep.

It was absolutely wonderful! I actually got 8 hours of sleep!!

Needless to say I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. I never realized how much a little sleep could go a long way. Tonight I am just praying that Caroline sleeps as well as I did last night.

It made me think though... Is all the exhaustion more mental or physical? Maybe a little of both.

My body sure was exhausted but after a got a good night sleep, I still needed to be replensished mentally. So thus enters an incredible morning with my Lord and Savior.
He truly is the water that refreshes my soul, the food the replenishes me when I am hungry and the breath that I need to breathe.
As the song goes "I am desperate for You...and I am Lost without You."

I think with a little sleep and a whole lot of grace from God...I can do this mom thing. He obviously believed that I could do it or He wouldn't have entrusted me with Caroline in the first place.
I still hope she sleeps through the night soon though :0

For now...
