He Never Slumbers Nor Sleeps.

I'm tired, and a nap sounds wonderful.

Justin and the boys went to town to run some errands and to get out of the house for a while.

Paxton threw up almost all night.

It seems she has a little stomach bug.

Anyone that knows Justin knows that he is terrified of germs on a level that is both frustrating and comical- so he took the first chance he got to leave the germy house.

Pax is alseep.  It is quiet.  It would make total sense for me to nap.

But instead, all I can do is sit here and watch her sleep.

Sit here and hold her.

Sit here and admire how beautiful that she is.

Sit here and wonder how I played any part in making something so wonderfully beautiful.

Sit here and pray she feels well soon.

And it's amazing that the way that I feel about my girl- well, my God feels the same way about me.

He never sleeps.

He never takes His eyes off of me.

His Word tells me that.
He sits.  And He holds me.

He admires my beauty because I was made in His image to be exactly who I am.

I can promise to always love this little girl with the best part of me.

But I know that no one loves her like He does.  And no one loves me like He does

And no one loves us like He does.

So, I'm going to leave it to Him.

I'm going to trust Him to keep taking care of us...

the big things and the little things.

The nights that sleeping is hard because of babies with stomach bugs-

and the nights that sleeping is hard because of anxiety over big things in life and bad, bad dreams.

He's got this.

So I'm going to leave it in His hands, and maybe take a little nap.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains-

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of Heaven and Earth.

He will not let your foot slip-

He who watches over you will not slumber;

Indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you-

the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm-

He will watch over your life;

The Lord will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore."

Psalm 121
