Forget the former things… Rest

My baby is a sleeper and I was worried. One day, I heard the Holy Spirit telling me, after I had googled myself into knots because he had slept most of the night and when I tried waking him to feed, he ignored me and slept on.

What google said was different from the reality,

The first time it happened, I heard the Holy Spirit tell me, rest I am giving you time to sleep. I thanked him but continued worrying in the morning.

Days after, it became like a routine.Rather than rest, I wake up at night watching to see everything was okay.I did not check Google cos I had decided to stop that to avoid extra anxiety. I had complained at the hospital the first time but I was brushed off.

I was talking to a friend and I shared my fears, she began laughing. She said that was the norm with her children, they sleep through the night but she wakes them up to breastfeed. Unlike mine who gets up to feed, then sleep back.

I had declared the baby will sleep at night and not stress us, but I was not ready for the answer. The Holy Spirit had told me all was well but I chose to allow my thoughts and what I know dictate what to believe. Until God used my friend with similar experience to call me out of the blue and reiterate what He has been saying all along. Thank God for grace and patience.

What do you know?

What is the reality?

How are you allowing it to affect your beliefs?
