sleepy head


S. had a  somewhat restless night Tuesday.

But he maneuvered through his day well.

And promptly fell to sleep after his school day.

He slept the 20 minute ride home.
(among the noise of his siblings) 

It was just enough to energize him again.

And he was up and going...

~~~~~

Now if I could make a  20 minute cat nap be enough for me to feel re-energized,

to hit the floor running full speed ahead, to the days end.

~~~~~~

God equips each of us with our own unique gifts, that's for sure :)

Have a happy Thursday Friends!

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us... let him do it cheerfully."
Romans 12: 6 & 8

catching some Zzzz's

We've starting implementing a new (to us) strategy for our night's...

 We're working toward better sleep - especially  for T,
 which in turn means better sleep for mom & dad too (right?)  :)

I'm going to be vague with specifics but I will say, we're using tools to instill safety & care.

As I've mentioned before,

T. is a "survivor" and has a long way to go in wholeheartedly trusting "others" to take care of her.

We continue to pray she'll come to know, she is a beloved daughter of the King!

He had a plan (He still does) for her when He placed her in this family.

Nothing's a surprise to Him.

And He doesn't make mistakes.

I pray she will begin to trust enough to be a "little" girl...

To feel taking care of & even a little carefree.

We have been using the "strategy" for a few days now, and already we are starting to see & feel a difference.

Praise the Lord!


:D We're still far from the rest of Sleeping Beauty...




But I can say,

We are definitely catching a few more (peaceful) Zzzzz's!




For that we thank God!

He has given us friendly encouragers along our journey

And the confidence to parent our precious daughter with her unique needs in mind!

Sleep by Sleep,
 we continue to hold fast to Him and His unfailing love for each of us!

Sweet Dreams,
Becky
