feeling love.

lately things have been a little crazy. we have finally come to some sort of discovery about why the little lady has been screaming. two words. acid reflux. 

i dont know much about it. and i know that she does not have a very severe case (which i am so thankful for!) but for now she is on some medication and seems to be doing alot better. 

i go back to work in like 3 weeks, and i am honestly not looking forward to it. i know that i my job is to be a wife and a mama and i want to do just that, we are praying and praying for wisdom from the LORD as to when i can stay home. its scary, and its hard, and i dont even know if or how it will be possible. nick has applied for a promotion at work, and if he gets it then that would be such an amazing blessing. last week was hard, because i was trying to get my milk supply back up and basically stayed home nursing most of the day. i think i lived on the couch. (which is not something that i love) my house is a mess, i have 3 loads of laundry to fold, a load of dishes, and bills to pay. but something else happened last week that was incredible. it is by Gods grace that i am behind on project31 and today's topic is exactly what i wanted to blog about anyways!

day twenty four 

Day 24.  What is Jesus teaching you presently?

i have been going to church since i was a little girl. i have always known that Jesus loved me, but i have honestly never felt it. i have known in my head so many things but have not ever felt them in my heart. i have struggled a lot with feeling valuable to the LORD. i have been going though some things lately that have been really hard. i have felt so alone, and in the midst of all of that i knew that the LORD loved me, i knew that he was there but i couldnt feel it. oh how i have wanted to feel it. my sweet husband is always leading me and pointing my back to Jesus and i am so thankful that he sat down and asked me to pray with him. i finally found some rest and some peace. i finally felt whole again, and for the first time in my life i actually felt that the LORD loves me. its a really big deal. so, presently Jesus is teaching me that he loves me. even when life is hard. he is teaching me that i can trust him, even with things that are scary. i am so thankful that he is teaching me. i feel like i can see and feel the gospel in a whole new way.
