It's been a rough week.

I don't feel like dwelling on the details of the difficult week, but I wanted to say that I got a break today. I'd been researching like a madwoman on the Internet on the million dollar question: Why doesn't Micah sleep??!!?!?! And all my research got me nothing but stress and high blood pressure. This morning I was awake, riddled with anxiety, from 3 to 5 AM, researching and agonizing, had a fight with Stephen about it from 5 AM to 6:30 AM and finally fell asleep after we came to some kind of resolution. I think Stephen prayed over me.

When I woke up again at 9:15, it was time to get ready for church, and I heard something in my heart: "It's about time I started listening to people that actually love me and Micah, instead of looking for love and understanding in people on the Internet who don't know either of us."

And that attitude, along with the peace that came with it, carried me through the entire day.

Today I got to talk with Megan, Savannah, Charis, Jennifer L., Hayley, and Jennie H. Megan and Jennie are both older and laughingly and lovingly told me, "Yep, I had a bad sleeper too! Sometimes there's just nothing you can do." Their sons are big, strong teenage boys now.

That was one of the things I just really needed today.

And then Charis, Jennifer, and Savannah are ALL having sleep problems with their babies currently.

So I got this message loud and clear from God: "You are NOT alone in this. There is nothing wrong with you or Micah."

Enough to make a girl cry... :')
